Beijing: A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday that the Japanese side "is in no position to interfere in the affairs of China's Taiwan region, either from the perspective of history or law."
Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the comments as Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reportedly said on Monday that any crisis in Taiwan could spur Japan and the United States to take joint action to rescue their own citizens.
According to Bloomberg, the Japanese permier ha mentioned that "while a hypothetical US-China clash wouldn’t immediately mean Japan will take military action, it will respond within legal limits should the US be attacked during a joint operation."
"The remarks by the Japanese side once again reveal the Japanese right-wing forces' ambitions to provoke antagonism, make trouble, and take the opportunity to keep remilitarizing Japan and to challenge the post-war international order," Guo said.
