Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang's Remarks on the Japanese Prime Minister's China-related Policy Speech at the Diet Session
问：日本首相安倍晋三在国会发表施政演讲，指责中国单方面划设防空识别区，在钓鱼岛周边反复侵入“日本领海”，声称日方决不接受以实力改变现状，将继续毅然冷静应对。安倍还宣称其始终敞开同中方对话大门，将努力改善关系，推动日中关系回到战略互惠关系的原点。中方对此有何评论？
Q: In his policy speech at the Diet session, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe accused China of unilaterally establishing the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and repeatedly intruding into "Japan's territorial waters" off the Diaoyu Islands. He said that Japan "would never accept an attempt by force to change the status quo" and would handle "the situation calmly and decisively at the same time". Abe also claimed that his door of dialogue with China would remain open and that he would work to improve Japan-China relationship and refocus it on the development of "strategic relations of mutual benefit". What is China's comment?
答：我们对日本领导人再次公开对中方进行无理指责表示强烈不满。我愿重申以下几点：第一，中国划设东海防空识别区正当合法，日方无权说三道四。第二，在钓鱼岛问题上改变搁置争议现状，挑起事端，一再侵犯中国领土主权的是日方。中方将继续采取必要措施坚决维护钓鱼岛领土主权。第三，日本领导人对侵略历史不思反省，大开历史倒车，以实际行动关闭了同中方对话的大门。我们敦促日本领导人端正态度，停止挑衅，承认错误，改弦易辙。
A: The Japanese leader has once again made in public groundless accusations against China. We are strongly dissatisfied with that. I would like to reiterate the following points: First, China's establishment of the ADIZ is legitimate and Japan has no right to make irresponsible remarks. Second, it is Japan who changes the status quo of shelving differences on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands, stirs up trouble and infringes time and again China's territorial sovereignty. The Chinese side will continue to do what is necessary to resolutely safeguard its territorial sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Third, the Japanese leader, who makes no attempt to reflect on history of aggression but every attempt to set back the wheel of history, has shut with his actions the door on dialogue with China. We urge the Japanese leader to correct his attitude, stop provocations, own up to mistakes and change course.
