On October 28, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference.

A Japanese TV reporter asked: US President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held their first meeting, during which both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the US-Japan alliance. What is China’s comment?

Guo Jiakun emphasized that due to Japan’s history of modern militarist aggression, Japan’s military and security developments have always drawn close attention from its Asian neighbors and the international community. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. We urge Japan to earnestly respect the security concerns of its neighbors, deeply reflect on its history of aggression, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through concrete actions.
