Taiwan question bears on the political foundation of China-Japan relations and the basic trust and good faith between the two countries, Chinese top diplomat Yang Jiechi reiterated during a high-level dialogue with Japanese national security advisor Takeo Akiba on Wednesday amid heightened cross-Straits tensions.


Yang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at the ninth China-Japan high-level political dialogue that he co-hosted with Akiba, secretary general of Japan's National Security Secretariat, in North China's Tianjin Municipality on Wednesday, according to the Xinhua News Agency on Thursday early morning. 


Citing a press release concerning the event, Xinhua reported that the two sides agreed that the dialogue was candid, in-depth and constructive, and some useful consensus was reached. They will continue to maintain dialogue and communication. 


This is the first high-level political dialogue between the two countries since February 2020.


The high-level meeting was of great significance as the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-Japan diplomatic ties is just weeks away on September 29, and it is also highly necessary at a time when bilateral ties met serious challenges as a result of a series of negative moves by the Japanese side especially over the Taiwan question, observers said on Thursday.
