The Chinese government has conveyed a clear message to Japan. We hope China's sincerity, goodwill and positive messages will be well received and result in a reciprocal response from Japan.

We hope relevant countries alert themselves to the dangerous actions of the 'Taiwan independence' forces, and work with china to maintain stability and development across the Taiwan Strait.

To maintain stability across the Taiwan Strait is in the interests of China and other countries, so we hope relevant countries are on alert to the wrong actions and dangerous activities by Taiwan forces.
