China said Monday that Japan should strictly abide by the four political documents between China and Japan, its pacifist constitution, as well as its own commitments and international obligations, no matter who leads Japan or which party is in office.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks during a routine press briefing in Beijing when asked about the Japanese election.

"China never interferes in other countries' internal affairs and firmly opposes any wrong words and deeds that interfere in China's internal affairs, undermine China's core interests, violate international law and the basic norms governing international relations, and jeopardize regional peace and stability," Lin said.

China's policy toward Japan was "clear, stable and consistent," he said.

"Regardless of who is Japan's leader and which political party is in power, Japan must faithfully abide by the four political documents between China and Japan and Japan's pacifist constitution, and fulfill its commitments and international obligations," Lin said.
