"China is deeply shocked at this incident and has lodged strong démarches and protests with Japan. The incident is a serious violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and posed a grave threat to the safety and security of Chinese diplomatic personnel and facilities. The incident is egregious in both nature and impact. The incident once again highlighted the danger of the rampant spread of far-right impact in the country. It also reveals the toxicity of the Japanese government’s erroneous policies on vital issues concerning China-Japan relations such as history and Taiwan, and Japan’s failure in maintaining discipline in Self-Defence Forces and in fulfilling its responsibility to protect the Chinese diplomatic and consular premises and personnel."

"China asks the Japanese side to thoroughly investigate the incident at once, bring the full weight of law to bear on the perpetrator and fully account for the incident. The Japanese side must ensure the safety and security of Chinese diplomatic and consular premises and personnel, reflect on and correct its erroneous policies on China and get rid of the root cause for such incidents once and for all. The international community needs to stay on high alert against Japan’s accelerating rightward turn and loss of control inside the rapidly expanding Self-Defence Forces."

China is deeply shocked that an outlaw claiming to be an active-duty officer of the Japan Self-Defense Forces forcibly broke into the Chinese embassy in Japan by climbing over the wall, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Tuesday at a press briefing in Beijing.
Responding to a related media query, Lin said the incident occurred on Tuesday morning, with the individual admitting that his actions were illegal and threatening to kill Chinese diplomats in the so-called "name of god", Lin said.
