SCMP: Beijing’s ambassador to the United Nations has doubled down on his criticism of Japan, calling Japanese leader Sanae Takaichi’s earlier comments on Taiwan “highly dangerous” and damaging to the post-war international order.

He said Takaichi’s comments marked the first time a Japanese leader had “expressed its ambition for armed intervention on the Taiwan issue and the first time [Japan] has issued a military threat against China, openly challenging China’s core interests”

南華早報: 中国常驻联合国大使近日加大了对日本的批评力度，指日本政要高市早苗此前关于台湾的言论「极其危险」，并称其破坏战后国际秩序。他表示，高市早苗的言论标志着日本领导人首次「在台湾问题上流露出武装干预的野心，也是首次对中国发出军事威胁，公然挑战中国的核心利益」。
