Qin responded that China “will handle according to the law”, according to a readout from the Chinese foreign ministry.
The Japanese minister also conveyed Tokyo’s grave concerns over an increase of China’s military activity, including its collaboration with Russia and its maritime presence in the East China Sea, he said. “Japan’s position has not changed, not with this remark, and not in recent years,” Okano said when asked for comment on Beijing’s account.Tension has been rising over Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory. China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. The democratically elected government in Taipei rejects Beijing’s claims and says only its people can decide its future.
