China is strongly dissatisfied with "some negative tendencies" in Japan's recent policies concerning the Taiwan issue, and is especially concerned with deepening the Japan-Taiwan ties in security, Chinese State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan said in Tuesday's meeting with Japan's Kyodo News Service president Toyohiko Yamanouchi.

Tang said the Taiwan issue concerns China's sovereignty, reunification and core interests of the country, adding: "We have taken notice of the Japanese government which has repeatedly stated that it will observe the principles in the China-Japan joint statement and not support "Taiwan independence".

Tang stressed that opposing "Taiwan independence" and containing the secessionist activities of "Taiwan independence" forces conform to the common interests of China, Japan and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

"We hope Japan will fully realize the complexity and sensitivity of the current situation across the Taiwan Straits and the serious harm of 'Taiwan independence'," he said.

Tang also expressed the hope that Japan will keep its promise by actions and demonstrate its clear objection to "Taiwanese independence" to maintain the peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits and in the region.
