The Chinese Embassy in Japan strongly protests against Japanese lawless elements forcibly entering.

In response to the incident on the 24th, where an unlawful individual forcibly broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan, the Chinese Embassy in Japan has lodged a serious representation and expressed strong protest, demanding that the Japanese side provide a responsible account. The embassy stated that on the morning of the 24th, an unlawful person claiming to be a “Self-Defense Forces personnel” scaled the wall and forcibly entered the Chinese embassy in Japan, threatening to kill Chinese diplomatic personnel. The incident seriously violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and poses a grave threat to the safety of embassy personnel and premises, with extremely harmful implications. This situation once again highlights the rampant ultra-rightist ideology and forces within Japan, and the dangerous reality of the Self-Defense Forces’ “military expansion and loss of control” must raise high alert among the international community. The Chinese Embassy in Japan has made a serious representation and strong protest to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanding an immediate thorough investigation into the incident, severe punishment for those involved, a responsible account to be given to the Chinese side, and effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese diplomatic personnel, premises, and Chinese citizens in Japan, preventing such incidents from occurring again.
