Xi recalled the "September 18 Incident," which directly preceded Japan's invasion of northeast China in 1931, saying Japanese militarism affected not only the Chinese, but also the United States and Asia-Pacific countries.

Rather than reflect on the trauma Japan brought to neighboring countries and some Asia-Pacific countries, Japanese political forces have continued to make mistakes by staging the farce of "purchasing" Diaoyu Islands, Xi said.

He said Japan's "purchase" openly questions the legal effects of the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation and has intensified the neighbors' territorial disputes.

Xi said the international community will never tolerate Japan's attempt to deny the outcomes of the World Anti-Fascist War.

"Japan should rein in its behavior and stop any words and acts that undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Xi noted.

Xi also called on the United States to act in the larger interest of regional peace and stability, mind its words and actions, not to get involved in issues regarding the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands and refrain from doing anything that might escalate tensions and complicate the situation.
