[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Urging Japan to take responsibility and severely punish the criminals who broke into the Chinese Embassy] August 31st, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference on August 31st. A reporter asked: According to reports, the Japanese Self-Defense Force issued a statement on the 28th saying that it had dismissed the Japanese Self-Defense Force official Kodai Murata who broke into the Chinese Embassy without authorization. It deeply regrets that the Self-Defense Force members caused such incidents and will ensure that members fully comply with laws and regulations in the future. What is China’s comment on this? Does the relevant handling satisfy China's concerns? Guo Jiakun said that an active Japanese Self-Defense Force officer broke into the Chinese Embassy with a knife and issued a violent threat to China. This vicious incident was unprecedented and seriously violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. It seriously threatened the personal safety of Chinese diplomats and the safety of diplomatic facilities. It also exposed many deep-seated problems such as the rampant right-wing forces in Japan and the lack of discipline among Self-Defense Force personnel. "We have noticed that the Japanese side has launched public prosecutions against those involved in the case." Guo Jiakun said, "We urge the Japanese side to take responsibility, severely punish the perpetrators, and conduct thorough investigations and rectifications. The international community is also waiting to see this." (The Paper)
