RT TV: Japan and the Philippines signed an agreement recently to enhance mutual support and cooperation on military logistics. The Japanese side said that it will provide the Philippines with security assistance worth millions of U.S. dollars to boost the so-called “quasi-alliance.” What is China’s comment? If the agreement comes into effect, what’s China’s assessment on its possible impact on regional peace and stability?

Guo Jiakun: China always believes that cooperation between states should not target any third party or harm the interests of any third party; nor should such cooperation undermine regional peace and stability.
During World War II, Japanese militarists invaded the Philippines, oppressed the Philippine people and servicemen from the Allied Nations with force and coercion, and ruthlessly killed Chinese diplomatic and consular officials. That part of history must be remembered, those atrocities must be accounted for, and justice must be delivered for such crimes.

Despite criticism from Southeastern countries and the international community over latest military and security developments in Japan, the Japanese side has shown no inclination to mend its conduct, and instead made up various pretexts to expand military buildup and export deadly weapons, further revealing Japanese right-wing forces’ motive to remilitarize Japan and go back to the path of military expansion. All peace-loving countries and people must firmly reject a revival of militarism and remilitarization in Japan and keep the region peaceful and stable.

Reuters: The U.S. and Taiwan signed a trade deal on Thursday that cuts tariffs on many of Taiwan’s exports and directs new investment into the U.S. technology industry. Does the Foreign Ministry have any comment?

Guo Jiakun: China firmly opposes the negotiating and signing of any agreement with sovereign connotations and an official nature between China’s Taiwan region and countries having diplomatic relations with China. The U.S. needs to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués

Canadian PM Mark Carney announces over $1T worth of trade agreements with China.

This includes Canada allowing the capped import of up to 49k Chinese EVs (a return to the levels before the 2023 ban on Chinese EVs), and lowering tariffs. Canada would also allow more Chinese EV investments into the country. China and Canada are also lowering mutual tariffs on agri products. Canada aims to build up it's LNG infrastructure to export even more LNG to China. Visa-free travel between the two nations have also been agreed. Who ever said about China capitulating to Canada have jumped the gun too early.

Mark Carney repeatedly said that Canada wishes to diversify its trading options from over-reliance with the US. Thank you Trump for pushing Canada to do this!
