Hey there! Did you hear the news? China is upset with the United States and Japan. They say that the U.S. and Japan are causing division and stirring up trouble in the world.
Guo Jiakun, who is a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry (that’s like their big office for talking to other countries), said that the U.S. and Japan should not target other countries or mess with peace and development in the region.
He was responding to a statement from U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth called Japan a “warrior country” that’s important for dealing with what he called “Chinese aggression.”
China doesn’t like being called a “threat.” Guo said that by doing this, the U.S. is creating enemies and causing problems between countries. He warned that other countries should be careful and watch out for these actions.
This year is important because it’s the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Asia. Guo said that Japan should learn from history and be careful with their military plans.
He also said that the Taiwan question is China’s own business, and nobody else should interfere. He urged people in the U.S. to stop trying to use Taiwan to cause trouble for China, and to stick to agreements they’ve made in the past.
Guo mentioned that Japan has a serious history with China because of past actions, including aggression against Taiwan. He said that Japan should be careful about what they say and do regarding Taiwan, and not send the wrong signals to people who want Taiwan to be separate from China.
In the end, China is asking the U.S. and Japan to promote peace instead of causing conflict. πβοΈ
