China slams Takaichi's remarks on removing 'enemy state clauses'

China has responded to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's call to remove the "enemy state clauses" from the UN Charter, urging Japan to reflect on the war.

The remarks follow Takaichi's speech at the UN General Assembly, where she promoted Japan's "peaceful nation" stance.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stressed on Wednesday that Tokyo's current policies, including denial of wartime history, military expansion, and attempts to revise the pacifist constitution, are threatening regional peace.
