🚨 In a press briefing on Monday, November 24, 2025, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning sounded the alarm over Japan's latest deployment of offensive weapons near the Taiwan region. The move, Mao warned, risks igniting regional tensions and could spiral into military confrontation.
"Japan's move is to deliberately create regional tensions and instigate military confrontation," Mao said. Paired with recent comments on Taiwan by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, this trend is "extremely dangerous" and should prompt vigilance from neighbouring countries and the international community.
Mao underscored Beijing's firm stance: "China will never allow Japanese right-wing forces to reverse the course of history, will never allow external forces to interfere in the Taiwan region, and will never allow Japanese militarism to revive." He added that China has the resolve and capability to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
