1. Press briefing in progress
2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Mao Ning, spokeswoman, Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"In history, Japan forcibly occupied Taiwan and exerted colonial rule on the island for half a century. Under Japanese occupation, Taiwan people suffered enormously. Hundreds of thousands of our Taiwan compatriots were killed, the people had no political rights, no freedom of religious belief or freedom of culture whatsoever, and Taiwan's mineral resources and life supplies were massively plundered. The crimes and atrocities that Japanese aggressors committed in Taiwan were innumerable and they form the darkest page in the history of Taiwan. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China. Japan must never forget that Taiwan is China's Taiwan. Whether anything happens to Taiwan is not Japan's business at all. Using Taiwan to create trouble will only bring trouble to Japan itself."

Japan should remember that Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and whether anything happens to Taiwan is not Japan's business at all, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Thursday.
Spokeswoman Mao Ning made the statement when answering a relevant question at a regular press conference in Beijing.
In response to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on the so-called "Taiwan contingency," many Chinese people have believed that Japan, which bears historical responsibilities on the Taiwan question, is the party least qualified to talk about it.
