China urged the international community to prevent any attempt to restore Japanese militarism and defend the results of World War II.

Beijing.- Amid the diplomatic crisis with Tokyo, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun reiterated China’s rejection of recent statements made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan and noted growing concern over attempts to reinterpret history.

The spokesperson affirmed that Japanese militarism invaded China and other Asian countries with extreme violence.

Guo said war crimes cannot be erased, and any attempt to bear provocations from the Japanese right wing revives the danger of militarism.

The statements come amid diplomatic tensions between Beijing and Tokyo that have affected bilateral relations and exchanges across all sectors. (PL)
