The statement shows that the talks have got a clearer focus and are drawing closer to the actual actions.

On the one hand, Japan realizes relations between the two countries should not proceed in their current state; on the other, some Japanese choose not to give up their incorrect view of history.

China-EU relations are less complicated. When the EU negotiates with China on economic issues, it isn't clouded by the Taiwan question or security fears.

China isn't interested in making relations any more complicated than they already are. China isn't trying to challenge America's No. 1 status in the world.

We hope relevant countries alert themselves to the dangerous actions of the 'Taiwan independence' forces, and work with china to maintain stability and development across the Taiwan Strait.

Focus on your own actions and you should not be affected by others.
