Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- Permanent representative of China to the UN in a letter sent to the UN on November 21 condemned the Japanese prime minister's erroneous remarks regarding the Taiwan issue. (PRC PM to UN -by JC)
Not long ago, the Japanese Prime Minister stated in the National Diet that if China deploys warships to Taiwan and uses military force, and if it is recognized as a threat to Japan's survival, the "Self-Defense Forces" can exercise the "right of collective self-defense" in accordance with Japanese law.
He condemned that the Japanese prime minister's remarks seriously violate international law and the basic norms of international relations, and gravely destroy the post-war international order, and that they constitute an open provocation against the Chinese people, and the peoples of Asian countries that were invaded by Japan.
He emphasized that if Japan dares to intervene by force in the Taiwan Strait situation, that will become an act of aggression, and China will firmly exercise the right of self-defense granted by the UN Charter and international law to steadfastly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He demanded that Japan, as a state completely defeated in Second World War, must seriously reflect on its historical responsibility and immediately cease provocative and line-crossing actions on the Taiwan issue.
