After the Liberal Democratic Party led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi won a landslide victory in Japan's general election, China issued a strongly worded warning, citing the Taiwan issue and the Yasukuni Shrine issue.
Earlier, in the House of Representatives election on the 8th, Japan's Liberal Democratic Party secured 316 of the 465 total seats, exceeding the two-thirds (310 seats) threshold for proposing constitutional amendments, and won.
Lin, Spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a regular briefing on the 9th, in response to a question about the results of Japan's general election, urged, "Japan's ruling authorities should not turn a blind eye to the concerns of the international community but face them head-on, walk the path of peaceful development, and not retrace the steps of militarism."
Spokesperson Lin warned, "If Japan's far-right forces misread the situation and act recklessly, they will inevitably face resistance from the Japanese public and a strong blow from the international community."
Spokesperson Lin, referring to the Taiwan issue, said, "Japan should retract Prime Minister Takaichi's erroneous remarks related to Taiwan and demonstrate through concrete action at least the sincerity to safeguard the political foundation of China-Japan relations."
She added, "China's people have unwavering resolve to safeguard the country's core interests and to defend the outcomes of the victory of World War II and the postwar international order," and "our resolve to counter and stop the provocations and reckless moves of various anti-China forces is also unwavering."
