China has urged Tokyo to \u201cbehave with restraint\u201d after it called for talks amid the diplomatic freeze<\/a> over Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi\u2019s comments about Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Asked about a possible meeting between Premier Li Qiang and Takaichi on the sidelines of the Group of 20 Summit in South Africa this weekend, foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said China had no such plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no arrangement for Premier Li Qiang meeting the Japanese leader. We urge Japan to behave with proper self-restraint,\u201d Mao said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Beijing said on Monday that Li would not meet Takaichi in South Africa, but Japan\u2019s Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara Minoru said the following day that Tokyo was still open to dialogue with China.<\/p>\n

Mao\u2019s remarks came on the same day that China reportedly cancelled a ministerial-level meeting scheduled for this month with South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n

The culture ministers\u2019 meeting was scheduled to be held as part of a three-way cooperation mechanism established in the aftermath of the 1998 Asian financial crisis as a way of deepening regional integration.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Beijing, Mao said that Takaichi\u2019s remarks on Taiwan had \u201cundermined the foundation and atmosphere\u201d of the cooperation mechanism and \u201cmade the conditions of holding China-Japan-South Korea meetings temporarily unsuitable\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China has urged Tokyo to \u201cbehave with restraint\u201d after it called for talks amid the diplomatic freeze over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,157451,157453,451,3471,6259,35707,157452,3,118502,1866,3998,17205,452,453],"class_list":["post-302872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-china-japan-south-korea-meetings","tag-group-of-20-summit","tag-headlines","tag-japan","tag-japanese","tag-li-qiang","tag-mao-ning","tag-news","tag-sanae-takaichi","tag-south-korea","tag-taiwan","tag-tokyo","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
