China strongly opposes Japan's Taiwan policies (Xinhua) Updated: 2005-04-16 11:27 China is strongly dissatisfied with "some negative
tendencies" in Japan's recent policies concerning the Taiwan issue, and is
especially concerned with deepening the Japan-Taiwan ties in security, Chinese
State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan said in Tuesday's meeting with Japan's Kyodo News
Service president Toyohiko Yamanouchi.
Tang said the Taiwan issue concerns China's sovereignty, reunification and
core interests of the country, adding: "We have taken notice of the Japanese
government which has repeatedly stated that it will observe the principles in
the China-Japan joint statement and not support "Taiwan independence".
Tang stressed that opposing "Taiwan independence" and containing the
secessionist activities of "Taiwan independence" forces conform to the common
interests of China, Japan and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
"We hope Japan will fully realize the complexity and sensitivity of the
current situation across the Taiwan Straits and the serious harm of 'Taiwan
independence'," he said.
Tang also expressed the hope that Japan will keep its promise by actions and
demonstrate its clear objection to "Taiwanese independence" to maintain the
peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits and in the
region.
