On December 11, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to reports, in response to the parliament’s response to the Taiwan issue, Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae said the day before yesterday that it is precisely because of various unresolved issues with China that it should adhere to the policy of reducing problems and enhancing understanding and cooperation. Japan is open to China’s dialogue at all levels. What's the spokesperson's comment on this?
Guo Jiakun said that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s erroneous remarks related to Taiwan not only aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people, but also attracted more and more objective and rational voices of opposition and criticism in Japan. I noticed that recently, former editor-in-chief of "World" magazine and former president of Iwanami Shoten, Atsushi Okamoto, said: "Prime Minister Takaichi frequently talks about "dialogue", but real dialogue starts with respecting the other party and understanding the other party from an equal position. Takaichi's attitude makes it impossible to have a dialogue." This sentence reveals the essence of the problem.
