TOKYO: Japan has lodged a strong protest against a remark by the Chinese ambassador to the country over Tokyo’s possible involvement in the situation in Taiwan, Chief Cabinet Secretary HAYASHI Yoshimasa said Wednesday.

Ambassador Wu Jianghao’s remark, that Japanese people will be dragged into the flames if Japan gets involved in any attempt to divide China, was extremely inappropriate, Hayashi told a press conference.

“We expect a peaceful resolution through dialogue” regarding the Taiwan issue, Hayashi said, adding that Japan will seize every opportunity to strongly urge the Chinese side to handle the situation in such a manner.
