According to the report, the Japanese government said Monday that it has lodged a protest with Beijing over social media posts by the Chinese consul-general in Osaka that criticized Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for her remark on Taiwan.

The report also stated that Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said the PM asked the Chinese side for a clear explanation. Japan Cabinet Secretary said that they couldn't help but say that the posts were extremely inappropriate coming from the head of a Chinese foreign mission, so China must explain it clearly.

In response, Consul-General Xue Jian said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that viewing a Taiwan contingency as a Japanese contingency was "a path of death that only some stupid politicians in Japan would choose." "Without a moment of hesitation, we just need to chop off their dirty heads," he went on.

The report said that at a news conference on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian expressed China’s strong dissatisfaction with Takaichi's remark. He stated that Beijing had protested to the Japanese side, claiming that Takaichi had interfered in China's internal affairs.

In addition to the report, the spokesman urged Japan not to provoke China or send misleading signals to the Taiwan independence forces.

Lin defended Xue, stating that his online comments were made in response to dangerous speech. He called for an investigation and response from Japan, citing radical and threatening posts directed at Xue on social media.

According to the report, the Japanese government said Monday that it has lodged a protest with Beijing over social media posts by the Chinese consul-general in Osaka that criticized Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for her remark on Taiwan.

Japan complaining to Beijing about the posts of consul general in Osaka is like Indian tea if you add too many spices the taste becomes bitter. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi spoke about Taiwan and that caused great tension and the government made an official protest. It is like a curry with many spices, each ingredient adds to the heat. It is like the Japanese idiom ame futatsu no kao. Rain has two faces. It can bring peace or sorrow. If you pay attention, you can see a samurai standing in the middle of the darkness fighting for the light.
