BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Wednesday said China deplores and firmly rejects the new version of Japan's defense white paper, adding China has lodged serious representations with Japan.
"The Defense of Japan 2026" white paper once again targeted China with groundless accusations, rehashing the so-called "China threat" narrative and grossly interfering in China's internal affairs with brazen comments on China's Taiwan region, Lin noted. ■
