The head of the Asian Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly protested to the Japanese side for the head of the foreign affairs department of the Taiwan authorities visited Japan.

On July 25, 2025, Liu Jinsong, Director of the Asian Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, urgently summoned Hengdi Huang, the Chief Minister of the Japanese Embassy in China, to strongly protest against the visit of Lin Jialong, the head of the foreign affairs department of the Taiwan authorities, to Japan. Liu emphasized that the Taiwan issue is a core interest of China, which is crucial to the political foundation of China-Japan relations and the basic trust between the two countries. The Japanese side's tolerance of Lin's visit, under the guise of a "private capacity," provides a platform for him to engage in anti-China separatist activities, sending a serious wrong signal. 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, as well as the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. China urges Japan to adhere to the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan and the solemn commitments made on the Taiwan issue, and to immediately take measures to eliminate the adverse effects of this incident.
