Overview
- Chinese UN Ambassador Fu Cong said on Dec. 1 he sent a second letter to Secretary‑General António Guterres demanding that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi withdraw her Diet remark that a Taiwan crisis could become a situation threatening survival.
- The letter accuses Takaichi of implying military intervention in the Taiwan issue and argues the stance overturns the postwar order and violates the UN Charter.
- Fu criticized Japan’s Nov. 24 rebuttal from UN Ambassador Kazuyuki Yamazaki as shifting the argument and transferring responsibility to China, declaring China’s firm opposition to that response.
- Citing debates in Tokyo on revising the Three Non‑Nuclear Principles and moving beyond exclusive defense, Fu warned that Japan is progressing rearmament.
- Fu made the move public by posting the full text of the Dec. 1 letter on X, following an initial letter he sent on Nov. 21.
