The development of China-Japan relations cannot be separated from mutual respect, and in particular, neither side should infringe the other"s core interests. China has always attached great importance to China-Japan relations, but such importance is premised on adhering to basic principles. Regarding Sanae Takaichi and her new cabinet, China"s stance has never changed: Takaichi must retract her erroneous remarks on China"s Taiwan island, abide by the one-China principle and the four political documents between China and Japan, stop manipulating the Taiwan question, face history squarely, and adhere to the path of peaceful development.
