Ambassador Fu said in the letter that Prime Minister Takaichi’s remarks were “the first time Japan has revealed its ambition to intervene militarily in the Taiwan issue and the first time it has openly challenged China’s core interests and threatened China with force,” adding, “These remarks are very wrong and dangerous, and their nature and impact are malicious.” He continued, “If Japan dares to attempt to intervene by force in the cross-strait situation, it would be an act of aggression.” “China will resolutely exercise its right of self-defense in accordance with the UN Charter and international law to firmly safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said. According to Xinhua News Agency, this letter will be distributed to all member states as an official document of the UN General Assembly.
