The NO embassy hardly reacted to the joint statement issued by London and Tokyo following the meeting of the defense ministers on Thursday (28). In the Chinese statement, the spokesman stated that the contents related to China in the joint statement United Kingdom “distort facts and reverse right and wrong” and stressed that Beijing “firmly opposes these allegations.” The answer was motivated by excerpts from the British-Japanese document that expressed “serious concerns” about Taiwan, the East China Sea and the Southern Sea of China, and accuse China of “providing dual use assistance” to Russia.
For Beijing, it is direct interference. “We have set up the UK and Japan to seriously reflect on their Taiwan statements and erroneous actions and maritime issues, to stop interfering with China’s internal affairs and cease to create problems and tensions in Asia Pacific,” said the spokesman. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the embassy reaffirmed that the Chinese position has always been of mediation.
“China has been consistently committed to promoting peace conversations and seeking a political solution,” the statement said, rejecting the “unfounded” accusations made by the United Kingdom and Japan against China.
