China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, at a routine briefing, commented on reports that on Oct. 1 the Tokyo District Court held a first public hearing for Murata Akihiro, who illegally entered the Chinese embassy in Tokyo. Mao said an active-duty Japan Self-Defense Forces officer entered the embassy armed with a knife and issued violent threats to Chinese diplomatic staff, calling the incident an unprecedented, serious breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations that gravely endangered personnel and embassy premises. She said the episode exposed deep-seated problems, including the rise of right-wing forces and lax discipline among SDF personnel, and that whether Japan handles the case lawfully will test its fulfillment of international obligations and affect its national credibility and international image. China again urged Japan to severely punish the perpetrator as a deterrent.
