Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 15. A reporter asked about Sino-Japanese relations. In response, Guo Jiakun said that on September 14, Assistant Minister Liu Bin of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with a delegation of young members of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians' Union visiting China. The Chinese side stressed that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae's erroneous statements and actions relating to Taiwan are the biggest sticking point in the serious difficulties facing Sino-Japanese relations. Japan should strictly abide by the spirit of the four Sino-Japanese political documents, learn the lessons of history, and gain the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through practical actions. We hope that the Japan-China Parliamentary Union will uphold the tradition of friendship with China, show responsibility, and create conditions and environment for bilateral relations to get back on track.
