Spokesperson He Yadong stated that recent remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi had 'severely damaged the political foundation' of relations, urging corrective actions to avoid further escalation.
The comments follow growing concerns over cross-strait tensions impacting regional trade. He warned that China would take 'necessary measures' if Japan continues its current approach, stressing that Tokyo bears full responsibility for any consequences.
Despite diplomatic friction, official data reveals robust foreign investment in China this year, with 54,000 new overseas-funded enterprises registered – a 14.7% annual increase. He highlighted China's position as the world's second-largest consumer market and its leadership in green and digital transformations as key draws for global businesses.
'Japanese enterprises, like other foreign investors, continue to recognize China's unparalleled industrial capabilities and market potential,' He noted, reaffirming China's commitment to maintaining a secure, innovation-driven business environment through 2025 and beyond.
