A reporter asked about the Japanese governments release of its Diplomatic Blue Book, which, compared to last year, downgraded Chinas description from "one of the most important bilateral relationships" to "an important neighbor." Mao Ning stated that the root cause of the current situation in China-Japan relations lies in Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis erroneous remarks regarding Taiwan, which have breached trust, damaged the political foundation of China-Japan relations, and challenged the post-war international order. Japan should abide by the four political documents between China and Japan and its own commitments, reflect on and correct its mistakes, and take concrete actions to safeguard the political foundation of China-Japan relations.On April 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The Agreement on Biological Diversity in the Sea (ADBB) entered into force in January this year. China nominated Xiamen to host the ADBB Secretariat. Some media analysts believe that the United States has not yet ratified the ADBB and is cutting its budget to support the United Nations, allowing China to expand its influence in the field of ocean governance. What is Chinas response to this? Mao Ning stated that the core of multilateralism lies in the fact that world affairs are handled through consultation, jointly addressing challenges, and sharing opportunities and prosperity, rather than a zero-sum game where one side advances while the other retreats. The conclusion and entry into force of the ADBB is a victory for multilateralism and an important milestone in global ocean governance. The comprehensive and effective implementation of the agreement is crucial to human well-being. China has always adhered to genuine multilateralism, attaches importance to the protection and sustainable use of the ocean, and is willing to make new contributions to global ocean governance.
