Beijing, July 29: A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Japan addressed journalists regarding the charges against Kodai Murata. The spokesperson stated that this incident highlights the extreme right-wing ideology and forces prevalent within Japan. Japan must take responsibility and provide a clear explanation to China and the international community.
The spokesperson revealed that on March 24, an officer from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces attacked the Chinese Embassy with a knife, issuing violent threats against China. This act constitutes a serious violation of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations, a grave infringement on China’s sovereignty and dignity, and poses a significant threat to the personal safety of Chinese diplomatic personnel and the security of diplomatic facilities. The nature and impact of this incident are extremely serious, with clear facts and irrefutable evidence.
The spokesperson emphasized that this incident fully exposes the extreme right-wing ideology and forces in Japan, revealing a lack of management and education among Self-Defense Forces personnel. It also highlights the harmful effects of the Japanese government’s misguided policies on key issues related to China-Japan relations, such as history and Taiwan, which create fertile ground for the rise of a “new type of militarism.” China urges Japan to take its responsibilities seriously, conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible, identify the root causes, impose strict penalties on those involved, prevent such incidents in the future, and provide appropriate explanations to China and the international community.
