Only one week left until the military parade, Japan suddenly makes outrageous protests, and China's 6-character response trends on foreign social media!
It seems that Japan is really anxious. First, it was exposed that it called on countries in Europe and Asia "not to participate in the 9-3 military parade." When it saw that no countries were responding to it, it unexpectedly lodged a protest against us, claiming that "your side is trying to develop oil and gas fields in the East China Sea, which is unacceptable."
When a journalist from AFP asked a spokesperson of our Foreign Ministry for comments on this matter, the spokesperson's response of "unacceptable, has been rejected" quickly trended on foreign social media, sparking "enthusiastic" discussions among foreign media and netizens.
Our official media reported that the spokesperson stated that our oil and gas development activities in the East China Sea are located in our undisputed jurisdictional waters and are entirely matters within our sovereign rights and jurisdiction. Japan's accusations are completely unfounded and thus are rejected.
On foreign social media platforms, many comments expressed that our "6-character mantra" is very powerful and showed no mercy towards Japan's extremely outrageous so-called "protests."
In fact, the location of our oil and gas development in the East China Sea is not even in the so-called "disputed waters" claimed by Japan, but on our side of the median line in the East China Sea. For Japan to raise a "protest" through diplomatic channels is neither in accordance with international rules nor has any legal basis; it is indeed outrageous.
The more this is the case, the more we need to expose it in a pointed manner. Japan still refuses to acknowledge its initiation of the war of aggression against China during World War II and the various crimes committed at that time, instead desperately trying to whitewash itself, attempting to portray itself as a "victim" internationally. There could be nothing more ridiculous than this.
Because of this, countries that also suffered greatly from Japan during World War II, such as those in Southeast Asia, and even netizens from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and France, have been giving a thumbs-up to our stance on foreign social media platforms or re-sharing our statements.
In fact, this is not uncommon in the current foreign social media environment. The false narrative about World War II that Japan has unilaterally concocted has not gained much acceptance and has instead provoked considerable resentment among netizens from many countries and regions.
