Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 12 (Reporters Cao Jiayue and Liu Yang) Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on the 12th that Japan had occupied and colonized Taiwan for 50 years and had committed countless crimes. Not only did the DPP authorities turn a blind eye, but they openly beautified Japan's colonial rule, abandoned the nation, betrayed Taiwan in favor of Japan, and were willing to be accomplices and pawns in resurrecting Japanese militarism. The Japanese leader's repeated mention of the "existential crisis" on the Taiwan issue will inevitably arouse strong indignation among all Chinese and the international community. The "Taiwan independence" separatists who have forgotten their ancestors will also be spurned by the people and judged by history.

At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: Recently, the Japanese government has refused to clearly reiterate the Taiwan-related statements in the four political documents between China and Japan, and has continued to use "the position has not changed" as a perfunctory excuse. At the same time, the DPP authorities catered to Japan's wrong words and deeds and expressed so-called support by lifting the ban on aquatic products and organizing group tours. We have noticed that many Chinese people, including people from all walks of life in Taiwan, believe that the Japanese army committed countless war crimes in Taiwan and cannot accept the Japanese government's avoidance of history. The DPP authorities took the opportunity to engage in political manipulation that was "shameless and invincible." What's the spokesperson's comment on this?

Guo Jiakun said that Japan invaded and colonized Taiwan for 50 years and committed countless crimes. Hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese compatriots were killed by the Japanese army, accounting for about one-fifth of the total population of the island at that time. Japan also carried out economic plunder and spiritual slavery on a large scale. Seventy percent of Taiwan's land was occupied, coal and gold resources were destructively exploited, and more than half of the rice produced was shipped to Japan. The island was starved to death, and a large number of people were forced into forced labor with a mortality rate as high as 40%. About 200,000 Taiwanese youth were forcibly recruited into the army, tens of thousands of people became cannon fodder for militarism, and more than 2,000 Taiwanese women were forced to become "comfort women." The people of Taiwan have become slaves to the subjugation of their country, without any political rights, freedom of belief, or cultural freedom.

Guo Jiakun pointed out that in the face of one tragedy after another and irrefutable evidence, the DPP authorities not only turned a blind eye, but also blatantly beautified Japanese colonial rule, used the so-called "end war" to blur the historical truth, did not mention the "victory of the Anti-Japanese War" and "Taiwan's recovery", beautified Japan's colonial oppression of Taiwan as "construction" and "contribution", abandoned the nation, sold Taiwan to Japan, and were willing to be accomplices and pawns in resurrecting Japanese militarism.

"On the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the Japanese leader's repeated mention of the "existential crisis" on the Taiwan issue is a challenge to human conscience and international justice. It will inevitably arouse strong indignation among all Chinese and the international community. The "Taiwan independence" separatists who have forgotten their ancestors will also be spurned by the people and judged by history." Guo Jiakun said.
