The Japanese Prime Minister said that the security defense in Europe and the Indo -Pacific region is inseparable, and it should not be allowed to try to change the status quo unilaterally with strength. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds

On July 1, 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference

Phoenix Satellite TV reporter: According to reports, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida said at the NATO Summit that the security defense of Europe and the Indo -Pacific region is inseparable, and it should not be allowed to change the status quo unilaterally by relying on strength. Tomorrow's East Asian region may become Ukraine, and the Japanese side deeply feels crisis. What is China's comment?

Zhao Lijian: We noticed reports. At the NATO Summit, the Japanese side had a heavy bomb, and the voice opposed to changing the status quo unilaterally with strength. In fact, the Japanese side was looking for excuses for their own expansion of military martial arts. When talking about East Asia tomorrow, we should first think about what happened yesterday in East Asia. If the Japanese side sincerely hopes that East Asia and Pingping are stable, they should conscientiously reflect on the history of their own militarism, and learn from profound lessons, rather than stirring the wind and ignition, and fear that the world will not be chaotic.

The Japanese side emphasized the welcoming NATO to increase its investment in the Indo -Pacific region and intend to act as the pioneer of NATO's "Asia Pacific". This approach is completely out of his own selfishness, holding the Cold War thinking. This will only provoke camp confrontation in the region and create opposition division. This is not good for countries including Japan. I want to emphasize that East Asia is a peaceful and stable highland and hot land developed, not a corner field for geopolitical politics. Any act of damage to the peace and stability of the region and the united cooperation between the region will be co -opposed by the Chinese people and the peoples of East Asian countries, and it is destined not to succeed.
