China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries and firmly opposes any erroneous words and actions that interfere in China's internal affairs, infringe upon China's core interests, violate international law and the basic norms of international relations, or undermine regional peace and stability, Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said on Monday in response to inquiries that some believe China's recent tough stance toward Japan influenced the outcome of Japan's general election.

Lin emphasized that China's policy toward Japan is clear, consistent, and continuous. Regardless of who leads Japan or which party is in power, they must abide by the four political documents between China and Japan, as well as Japan's pacifist constitution, and fulfill their commitments and international obligations, Lin said.
