BEIJING (Kyodo) — China on Monday said it will continue to seek stable ties with Japan, a day after the country’s upper house election in which the ruling Liberal Democratic Party led by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and its coalition lost its majority, while declining to comment on the election outcome.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun called the House of Councillors election an internal matter for Japan, but said China stands ready to work with the neighboring country to maintain dialogue and communication at all levels.
