沖縄県議長、ミサイル発射や尖閣侵入に抗議　駐日中国大使と面会

　沖縄県を訪問中の中国の呉江浩駐日大使は５日夕、赤嶺昇県議会議長と非公開で面会した。赤嶺氏は、中国による弾道ミサイル発射や尖閣諸島（同県石垣市）付近での領海侵入に抗議。呉氏は台湾を巡り「台湾が独立を主張すれば平和を維持できない」との主張を展開した。
　中国は２０２２年、米下院議長の台湾訪問に反発して弾道ミサイルを発射、日本政府によればうち５発が日本の排他的経済水域（ＥＥＺ）に落下した。尖閣周辺海域では中国海警局の公船が領海侵入を繰り返している。（2023/10/05-19:33）

Okinawa Prefectural Assembly Speaker Noboru Akamine protested China's ballistic missile launches and intrusions into Japanese waters near the Senkaku Islands in a meeting Thursday with Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao.
   Meanwhile, Wu told Akamine that peace cannot be maintained if Taiwan asserts its independence.
   The two met behind closed doors during Wu's visit to Japan's southernmost prefecture, the first by a Chinese ambassador since February 2017, according to prefectural government officials.
   In 2022, China launched several ballistic missiles in response to then U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, with five of the missiles falling into Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to the Japanese government.
   Chinese coast guard ships have repeatedly sailed into waters around the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands, which are also claimed by Beijing.
