The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to the phone call between the Japanese Defense Minister and the US Defense Minister

According to reports, Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi had a phone call with US Defense Secretary Hagibis, expressing serious concerns about the issue of "radar radiation", stating that "this is an act that exacerbates regional tensions". Regarding this, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on the 12th in response to relevant questions that we have responded to the issue multiple times. The truth is very clear. The Japanese side's self talk, self contradiction, and self sophistry have exposed its true purpose of creating tension and sensationalizing. We advise the Japanese side to face the crux of the current difficulties in Sino Japanese relations, seriously reflect on and correct mistakes, withdraw the erroneous remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Hayao Takashi regarding Taiwan, and not divert attention or create unnecessary complications.
