BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- In response to a query regarding Japan's plan to deploy offensive weapons near China's Taiwan region, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Monday said this development is extremely dangerous, calling for heightened vigilance from neighboring countries and the international community.

Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily news briefing, noting that Japan's actions deliberately escalate regional tensions and provoke military confrontation.

Considering Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan, this is an extremely dangerous development and calls for heightened vigilance from neighboring countries and the international community, she added.

China will never allow far-right forces in Japan to reverse the course of history, nor permit any external interference in the Taiwan region, or allow Japanese militarism to resurface, Mao said.

The spokesperson also noted that China has the resolve and the ability to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
