💨 Abstract

Japan lodged a protest with China over a misquoted statement about Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's remarks during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Japan's foreign ministry stated that Ishiba never made the comment about respecting China's positions, and asked for the incorrect material to be removed. Japan emphasized the need for reducing concerns between the two nations, including issues in the East China Sea and detained Japanese nationals.
