Beijing, July 28 /Xinhua/ — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jiang on Tuesday once again called on Japan to conduct a thorough investigation, analyze its actions, correct its mistakes regarding the incident involving the intrusion of a Japan Self-Defense Forces officer into the Chinese embassy in Tokyo, and also to provide a responsible explanation to China and the international community.

Lin Jian made these statements at a regular press conference in response to a question from the media.

It is reported that the Tokyo prosecutor’s office has charged Kodai Murata, who stormed the Chinese embassy in Japan with a knife, after a psychiatric evaluation confirmed that he is mentally healthy and can be held criminally responsible for this incident.

On March 24, Kodai Murata, armed with a knife, entered the premises of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Japan and made threats of violence against the Chinese staff. -0-
