(MENAFN) Beijing has voiced "strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" following parliamentary comments about Taiwan by Japan's leadership, declaring the statements a severe breach of the one-China doctrine and blatant meddling in Chinese domestic matters.

"The world has only one China and Taiwan is part of China," said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for China's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a regular press conference when asked about these comments.

Chen's statement followed recent declarations by Japan's prime minister regarding Taiwan during legislative proceedings, triggering fierce condemnation from Beijing.

"Japan has committed crimes in history against the Chinese people on the Taiwan question," Chen stated, noting that during its colonial rule over Taiwan for half a century, Japan committed innumerable crimes.

The official emphasized that eight decades ago, Chinese forces defeated Japanese military forces and reclaimed Taiwan—terminating Japan's colonial control and exploitation of the territory.

"Today, 80 years later, should anyone attempt to challenge China's core interests and obstruct China's reunification, the Chinese government, Chinese people and Chinese military will never accept it and never tolerate it," Chen warned.

He urged Japan to "deeply reflect on history, draw lessons from history, strictly adhere to the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, honor its political commitments on the Taiwan question, and exercise extreme caution when handling Taiwan-related matters."

The spokesperson also issued a stern warning to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities, stating that "any scheme to rely on external forces to split Taiwan from China is doomed to fail."
