BEIJING -- Japan's letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is full of erroneous views and hypocritical lies, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday.

In the letter, the Japanese side claims to adhere to the so-called "consistent position" on the Taiwan question, but it has remained evasive on what exactly this "consistent position" is and has yet to give China a direct answer, Lin said at a regular news briefing.

China firmly opposes Japan's moves to challenge the post-war international order and its attempts to resurrect militarism, Lin said, urging Japan to reflect on its past, correct its mistakes, fulfill its obligations as a defeated nation in the war, and honor its commitments to China and the international community with concrete actions.
