Chinese FM warns against Japan’s challenge to post-war international order; remarks serve as a reminder to the international community against Japan’s militarist tendency: Chinese expert

(Sun Langchen – Global Times) Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday urged vigilance against recent dangerous trends in Japan, stating that the Japanese leadership’s erroneous remarks regarding the Taiwan question directly challenge China’s sovereignty and the post-war international order. Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks at the “China in the World” session of the 62nd Munich Security Conference, where he delivered a speech and answered questions. Responding to a question about China’s responsibility for the re-escalation of tensions in the Asia-Pacific, Wang said he does not agree that the regional situation is increasingly tense. Looking around the world, only Asia maintains overall peace, Wang noted, adding that even recent local conflicts, such as those on the Cambodia-Thailand border, were quickly quelled through the efforts of all parties, with China playing a role. – Chinese FM warns against Japan’s challenge to post-war international order; remarks serve as a reminder to the international community against Japan’s militarist tendency: Chinese expert – Global Times
