ANI News China criticizes Japan’s missile deployment near Taiwan, calling it deliberate provocation, threat

China called Japan’s plan to deploy missiles on an island near Taiwan “a deliberate attempt to create regional tension and provoke military confrontation” on Monday (November 24), as a simmering row over the democratically-governed Taiwan deepens. “Japan’s right-wing forces are striving to break free from the constraints of the pacifist constitution, going further down the path of militarism and pushing Japan and the region toward disaster,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing, adding that Beijing “is determined and capable of safeguarding its national territorial sovereignty.”
Japan’s defense minister, Shinjiro Koizum, on Sunday (November 23) said plans to deploy a medium-range surface-to-air missile unit to a military base on Yonaguni – a tiny island around 110 kilometres off the east coast of Taiwan – were “steadily moving forward.”
The remarks come amid the worst diplomatic crisis between China and Japan in years after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said a hypothetical Chinese attack on democratically governed Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo on November 7.
Beijing views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has not ruled out the use of force to take control of the island. Taiwan’s government rejects Beijing’s claims and says only the island’s people can decide their future.
