“Japan believes it is important that common values shared by the international community, such as freedom, human rights and the rule of law, are also respected in China. As Tokyo 2020 demonstrated to the world, the Olympics and the Paralympics are festivals of peace and sports.”

“Unfortunately, there are people in Japan who have a biased view of China's political system ... and are spreading rumors about human rights in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. Given that China supported Tokyo hosting the Olympics, I think Japan should have good intentions toward our Games. Recently Japan has been making some negative moves regarding Taiwan, saying 'a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency'. This is one-sided provocation and we cannot accept it.”

“Kishida made some tough remarks concerning China during the runoff. But considering he had been dovish, those remarks could just have been an election tactic and he won't necessarily adopt such an extreme right-wing path afterwards.”

“China is ready to work with Japan's new administration to observe the principles and spirit set out in the four political documents between China and Japan, deepen practical cooperation in various fields, and move forward China-Japan ties along the right track in a sound and steady manner.”

“Against Chinese action to Senkaku Islands and other parts of the East China Sea ... we have to demonstrate that the government of Japan is resolutely defending our territory with the greater number of Japanese coast guard vessels than that of China. There is no territorial dispute relating to the Senkaku Islands between Japan and other countries.”

“Japan's militarists once used geographical proximity as the main excuse to wage wars of aggression. It is a very dangerous development that some in Japan are still touting this logic in the 21st century. We need to stay on high alert about this. On the Taiwan question, the Japanese side bears historical responsibilities to the Chinese people for its past crimes and should especially be prudent with its words and actions. Japan should stop interfering in China's domestic affairs, avoid undermining China's sovereignty in any form and refrain from sending wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' forces in any form. I want to stress once again that the Taiwan region is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory and the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair that brooks no foreign interference. No one should underestimate the strong resolution, determination and capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“The PLA [People's Liberation Army] warships displayed China's determination and capability to countries like Japan and the US, which attempt to interfere in the Taiwan question. The moves will help safeguard peace and stability in the region by deterring Japanese right-wing forces and Taiwan secessionists.”

“Japan's defence policy is not targeted at any specific nation. But given that the security environment surrounding Japan is getting even harsher, we must build a structure where we can protect ourselves. [China] is trying to change the status quo unilaterally backed by force and coercion. And they're trying to make it into a fait accompli. For us to be able to respond to those challenges, what we must do is enhance our defence capabilities on our own. There could be a constitutional debate in [autumn] this year in the national Diet, but this is a matter for the Diet. I will refrain from making such comments.”

“Japan's more than 500-page white paper is another reminder of the grim strategic reality of the region. It highlights, yet again, that if major stakeholders in the Indo-Pacific region are interested in making the area robust and stronger, they have to work in tandem. This is crucial when the US-China rivalry is only becoming more bitter and intense, with Beijing showing no sign of willingness to improve ties with regional stakeholders. The failed US-China talks in Alaska in March and in Tianjin last month clearly demonstrate that. They also signal that major Asian powers, such as Japan and India, have to devise their own policies and play a more proactive role in the region.”

“The competitive relationship between the United States and China has continued since the inauguration of President Biden, and the Biden administration emphasizes uniting with allies and responding to China's offensive. Japanese politicians also recognize that Japan should play an important role.”

“We deplore the erroneous remarks by the senior official of the Japanese government, and we have lodged solemn representations. This is highly sinister, dangerous and irresponsible. This politician also openly called Taiwan a country, in serious violation of the China-Japan joint statement. We urge the Japanese government to make a clarification and ensure this will not happen again.”

“The peace and stability of Taiwan are directly connected to Japan, and we are closely monitoring ties between China and Taiwan, as well as Chinese military activity. As China strengthens its military, its balance with Taiwan is tipping heavily to the Chinese side.”

“For the recent time being, Japan has repeatedly been picking up on China, aggressively interfering with China's domestic affairs, pointing fingers at China's normal national defense infrastructure and military activities; and dishing dirt at China's regular maritime activities.”

“Japan's new diplomatic bluebook plays up the so-called 'China threat,' viciously attacks and smears China, and unjustifiably interferes in China's internal affairs. China is firmly opposed to this and has lodged solemn representations with Japan through diplomatic channels.”

“Japan and the US have tried to create chaos in the international community and to confuse the fact that China has indisputable sovereign rights over the territory [of the Diaoyu Islands]. We issued the survey report to reiterate the international consensus on the issue. No matter how Japan colludes with the US on the topic in an attempt to distort international consensus, it will not change China's position and actions, including regular patrols around the islands and fishing activities.”

“The US doesn't want ties between China and Japan to get better, and Japan is accommodating itself with the US on the latter's China policy. We don't want China-Japan relations to hit bottom, nor for Tokyo to tie itself completely with the US. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he wants stable ties with China, but where is his action?”

“After Suga [Yoshihide Suga] took office, Japan's ties with China became increasingly problematic due to the long-standing dispute on the Diaoyu Islands and the interruption from the US. Under the serious epidemic situation and pressure on how to hold the Tokyo Olympics, Suga would not like to see another massive struggle with China only because of Xinjiang, an issue that Japan has no interest in.”
