China once again urges Japan to withdraw the erroneous remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding China's Taiwan region and demonstrate its basic sincerity in safeguarding the political foundation of China-Japan relations through concrete actions, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular news briefing after Japan's ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party won more than a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives following Sunday's general election.

Lin said elections are a domestic matter in Japan, but some deep-seated structural issues and ideological trends reflected in this election were worthy of deep consideration by insightful people from all walks of life in Japan and the international community.
