BEIJING, Nov. 27 -- "Should the Japanese side dare to cross the red line and invite troubles to itself, it is destined to pay a heavy price," said Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense (MND), at a press conference on Thursday.

It's reported that the Japanese side claimed that a plan to deploy medium-range surface-to-air missiles at the Yonaguni Island 110 kilometers east of Taiwan is making steady progress. According to Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, the deployment will lower the risk of Japan being attacked, and it will not intensify regional tensions.

When being asked to share comment, the spokesperson said that the Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China. How to resolve the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people, and has nothing to do with Japan.

"This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China. Instead of repenting for its war crimes of invading and colonizing China's Taiwan region, Japan is taking an extremely wrong approach by suggesting military intervention into a so-called Taiwan contingency," Jiang slammed.

He continued that Japan's dangerous approach will uproot the post-WWII international order, and lead Japan to repeat the mistakes of its militarist past. "The Chinese PLA has strong capabilities and reliable means to defeat any aggressors, and should the Japanese side dare to cross the red line and invite troubles to itself, it is destined to pay a heavy price," stressed the spokesperson in the end.
