Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on Japan to reconsider its recent actions, urging Tokyo to “correct its mistakes” rather than continue on what he described as a problematic course. His comments came after completing visits to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, where he held strategic dialogues with his counterparts from November 19 to 22.
Wang said he outlined China’s position on the Taiwan issue during discussions with the three Central Asian nations and conveyed concerns about what he views as inappropriate statements and actions by Japan’s current leadership. He stated that these actions touch on matters China considers core interests.
According to Wang, the foreign ministers of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan reaffirmed their support for the one-China principle and expressed opposition to any moves toward Taiwan independence. He described their statements as consistent with long-standing international positions on the matter.
Wang also linked current regional tensions to broader historical context, noting the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. He referenced international documents from that period that addressed Taiwan’s legal status and said he believes these obligations remain relevant.
He further stated that China aims to support stability and development in Central Asia and opposes any external interference in the region. On relations with Japan, Wang emphasized the importance of past political agreements between the two countries, saying they form a basis that should be respected by any Japanese administration.
