CCTV: Media reports say that on December 3 at a plenary session of the House of Councillors, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi referred to the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, saying that the Japanese side "understands and respects" the Chinese government's position that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China." What is China's comment?

Lin Jian: The reports have been proved to be inaccurate. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi merely said that "the Japanese government's basic position regarding Taiwan remains as stated in the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, and there has been no change to this position," and nothing more.

China's stance is very clear: We urge the Japanese side to reflect on and correct its wrongdoing, and retract Prime Minister Takaichi's erroneous remarks. This is an issue of principle. The facts and Japan's commitments are written down in black and white in historical records. We've been asking the Japanese side the same questions for days and still haven't received an answer. Many have also criticized Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks in and outside Japan. "No change to the position" is far from adequate and certainly unacceptable as a response to China. If the Japanese side's fundamental position on Taiwan is indeed as stated in the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, can Prime Minister Takaichi accurately and fully articulate that position? Why is the Japanese side unwilling to clearly state the commitments it has made and its legal obligations? What is the logic and motive driving this attitude? The Japanese side owes China and the international community an explanation.

RIA Novosti: Today marks the International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures. In recent years, we have seen many countries continue to regularly use unilateral measures, including economic sanctions against Russia, China, Iran, and other countries. I wonder from China's perspective, what risks does the continued use of such policies pose to the global economy?

Lin Jian: Unilateral coercive measures run counter to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, undermine multilateralism and the foundation of international rule of law, severely violate people's fundamental rights to life and development, and hinder cooperation in global development and the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

China opposes unilateral coercive measures. We call on the international community to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, jointly reject unilateralism, uphold the UN-centered international system and the international order underpinned by international law, and make global governance more just and equitable.

China-Arab TV: The Israeli military attacked shelters in the city center of Gaza, which stood beyond the ceasefire line, resulting in numerous casualties. Hamas accused Israel of continuously violating the ceasefire agreement and called for international action. What's China's comment?

Lin Jian: The current situation in Gaza remains highly fragile. China hopes that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza will be effectively implemented to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and restore regional peace and stability as soon as possible.
