A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Tuesday once again urged Japan to have a thorough probe into, do soul-searching on, rectify its wrongdoing about the incident of intrusion by a Self-Defense Forces (SDF) officer into the Chinese embassy, and provide a responsible explanation to China and the international community.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a related query.

It is reported that Tokyo prosecutors indicted Kodai Murata, who broke into the Chinese embassy in Japan with a knife, after a psychiatric evaluation confirmed that he is mentally fit to be held criminally responsible for the incident.

On March 24, Murata forcibly entered the Chinese embassy while carrying a knife and issued violent threats against Chinese personnel.
