Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi: The Japanese Prime Minister publicly stated that a Taiwan contingency could constitute a survival-threatening situation that might trigger the use of collective self-defense. This is the first time in 80 years that a Japanese Prime Minister has made such remarks. It directly violates China’s territorial sovereignty and directly challenges the fact that Taiwan has been returned to China. It completely violates Japan’s commitments to China. Could China possibly accept such a provocation? No—no Chinese person could accept it.

Трамп: У меня только что состоялся очень хороший телефонный разговор с председателем КНР Си Цзиньпином. Это был долгий и подробный разговор, и мы обсудили много важных тем, включая торговлю, военные вопросы, мою предстоящую поездку в Китай в апреле (которой я с нетерпением жду), Тайвань, российско-украинскую войну, ситуацию в Иране, закупки Китаем нефти и газа у США, рассмотрение Китаем возможности увеличения закупок сельскохозяйственной продукции (включая увеличение производства сои в этом сезоне до 20 миллионов тонн, и они уже взяли на себя обязательства по 25 миллионам тонн в следующем сезоне), поставки авиационных двигателей и многие другие вопросы. Все обсуждения были очень позитивными. Отношения между Соединенными Штатами и Китаем, а также мои личные отношения с председателем Си Цзиньпином, очень хорошие, и мы оба понимаем важность поддержания этих хороших отношений. Я верю, что за три года моего президентства работа, связанная с председателем Си Цзиньпином и Китайской Народной Республикой, принесет много положительных результатов.
