Japan "threatening us militarily", China complains to German foreign minister

Wang said that Japan's, "current leader recently made reckless remarks on hypothetical situations on Taiwan."

Taiwan's status as Chinese territory has been, "unequivocally and irreversibly affirmed by a series of ironclad historical and legal facts," he added.

Taiwan's government, which rejects Beijing's territorial claims, has repeatedly accused China of misrepresenting history, saying the People's Republic of China did not exist in 1945. Republic of China remains Taiwan's formal name.
