China announced on Monday countermeasures against Shigeru Iwasaki, former chief of staff of the Self-Defense Forces of Japan, over his public collusion with “Taiwan independence” secessionist forces, which seriously violated the one-China principle and the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, seriously interfered with China’s domestic affairs, and seriously infringed on China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 15 of the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese side has decided to impose the following countermeasures against Iwasaki: Freeze all his movable and immovable property and other types of assets within the territory of the People's Republic of China; prohibit organizations and individuals within China from conducting any transactions, cooperation or other such activities with him; refuse to issue visas to him and deny his entry into the country (including the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions).

The decision is effective on Monday.
