Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi openly claimed at the Diet that "something happening to Taiwan" could constitute an "existential crisis situation" in which Japan could exercise the right to collective self-defense, implying a possible military intervention in the Taiwan Strait issue.近日，日本首相高市早苗在国会公然宣称“台湾发生事态”可能构成日本行使集体自卫权的“存亡危机事态”，暗示可能对台湾海峡问题进行军事干预。On the afternoon of today (the 14th), Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, Deputy Director of the Press Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, released information on recent military-related issues and commented on Sanae Takaichi's remarks concerning Taiwan.今天（14日）下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息，并就高市早苗涉台言论进行评论。Jiang Bin stated that the wrong remarks made by Japanese leaders on Taiwan constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs. They seriously violate theone-China principle, the spirit of the four Sino-Japanese political documents and the basic norms governing international relations, challenge the post-war international order, and send a serious wrong signal to "Taiwan independence" forces. Such remarks are extremely bad in nature and impact, and are highly irresponsible and dangerous.蒋斌表示，日本领导人涉台错误言论粗暴干涉中国内政，严重违背一个中国原则、中日四个政治文件精神和国际关系基本准则，挑战战后国际秩序，向“台独”势力发出严重错误信号，性质影响十分恶劣，极不负责、极其危险。The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China and admits no external interference. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory ofthe Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's recovery. If Japan fails to profoundly learn from historical lessons, dares to take reckless risks, or even intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait situation, it will inevitably be badly beaten against the iron wall of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and pay a heavy price.台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾光复80周年。日方若不深刻汲取历史教训，胆敢铤而走险，甚至武力介入台海局势，必将在中国人民解放军的铜墙铁壁面前碰得头破血流，付出惨痛代价。"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willedChinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and pay a heavy price," stressed a Chinese defense spokesperson on November 14, 2025.2025年11月14日，中国国防部发言人强调：“日方若不汲取历史教训，胆敢铤而走险，甚至以武力干涉台湾问题，必将在中国人民解放军的钢铁意志面前遭遇惨败，付出沉重代价。”The Chinese Defense Spokesperson Senior Colonel Jiang Bin made the above remarks at a regular press briefing on Friday when being asked to comment on media reports that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently said that if the Chinese mainland uses military vessels and other forces against Taiwan, it would cause a situation threatening Japan's survival, and the Japanese Self-defense Force could exercise the right of collective self-defense in accordance with law.国防部发言人蒋斌大校在周五的例行记者会上，就媒体报道的相关问题作出上述回应。报道称，日本首相高市早苗近期表示，若中国大陆动用军舰等力量针对台湾，将造成威胁日本生存的局面，日本自卫队可依法行使集体自卫权。The spokesperson added that the erroneous remarks on Taiwan made by the Japanese leader constitute a gross interference in China's internal affairs, and a serious violation of the one-China principle, the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and the basic norms governing international relations. The remarks have challenged the post-war international order, and sent very wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. Such words are egregious in nature and have caused very negative impact. They are extremely irresponsible and dangerous.蒋斌补充指出，日本领导人涉台错误言论，严重干涉中国内政，严重违反一个中国原则、中日四个政治文件精神和国际关系基本准则。该言论挑战战后国际秩序，向“台独”分裂势力发出严重错误信号，性质极其恶劣、影响十分负面，是极不负责、极其危险的。The spokesperson emphasized that the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair, which brooks no foreign interference. He said that this year, China commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and the 80th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan.蒋斌强调，台湾问题纯属中国内政，不容任何外来干涉。他表示，今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾光复80周年。"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed Chinese PLA and pay a heavy price," stressed the spokesperson at the end.蒋斌最后强调：“日方若不吸取历史教训，妄图冒险甚至动用武力干涉台湾问题，必将遭到意志钢铁的中国人民解放军的沉重打击，付出惨痛代价。”the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争one-China principle一个中国原则Chinese People's Liberation Army中国人民解放军

Millions of South Africans fear that they will be disarmed and left defenseless in crime-ridden South Africa by possible new legislation. But in his latest interview with Chris Steyn, a defiant Ian Cameron, the Democratic Alliance's Spokesperson on Police and Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, issues this challenge: “I want to see them disarm lawfully armed and law abiding citizens in this country because they are going to fail dismally. That is a fight they should not pick. It's a fight that I would advise them not to even try. We are going to protect our communities. We're going to protect ourselves and our families. And there's no way that we're going to allow them to arbitrarily take that away.” Cameron believes the disarmament agenda is a "way of gaining more control” as “the more control you lose as a government, especially one with the ideological, let's call them challenges, that the ANC has brought upon us over the years, the more you try and centralise certain things.” That level of “draconian control” could mean “only an elite few…are able to be supposedly kept safe - and that they would use State coffers to do so through… abusing police and whoever else the armed forces have at their disposal.” Cameron outlines the DA's fight-back strategy.

OK, quick quiz for you. Think of the Labour Party. Who is the climate spokesperson? Yeah, no, you didn't get it right because it's Deborah Russell. I know. I didn't think it was that either. I didn't know it. And you know what, it's my job to know this kind of stuff. But to be fair to me, in the entirety of this year thus far, Deborah has only put out 3 press releases on the climate and the third one was today. And guess what it was about? It was announcing that Deborah is going to the annual Global Climate conference, COP 30, and she's gonna be leaving on Sunday and she's gonna be coming back Saturday, which means she's there basically for a week because of course she is, because who doesn't want a week in Brazil on the boss's credit card. I see what Deborah's doing. But let's also see this for what it is, right? Deborah's contribution to the climate this year is 3 press releases and a long-haul flight to Brazil return. So all up, a net negative contribution to the climate, which pretty much is the story though. And just not to pick on Deborah here, because this is what everybody's doing. This is the story of every single COP, isn't it? Thousands of people fly into a place burning up who knows how many emissions, only to have a gab fest, issue a bunch of press releases and really achieve nothing. A massive net negative for the climate. That's what COP is. You know what the big news story out of COP is today? That it's failed. 1.5 is dead. It will not be achieved. This was what we were told we needed to do to save humanity. Hit 1.5, keep the temperature rises to 1.5, no more. We have known for a while that 1.5 is dead. It is now officially dead. So Deborah is flying to a conference that has already admitted that the aim of COP 26, which is four conferences ago, which was to keep 1.5 alive, is actually dead in the water. In which case, it begs the question, why do we keep wasting emissions to go to an annual get-together that fails every single year? I think I've got the answer, because it means a week in Brazil.

Labour's climate spokesperson says she's attending the UN's annual climate summit to become better informed. Deborah Russell will join Climate Change Minister Simon Watts and a New Zealand delegation at COP30 in Brazil. Climate scientists have warned the world's likely to blow past 1.5 degrees of warming. Russell says we'll be faced with absolute disaster if we can't pull this back somehow. She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that she wants to learn more about methane - and some of world's solutions around agriculture. Russell says that's a pressing problem in New Zealand and it helps if as many of us as possible know as much as possible. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government says it will act on all 19 recommendations from Parliament's banking inquiry - and it's committed to increasing scrutiny around the banking sector. This comes as Westpac and ANZ report significant increases in profit, prompting concern from experts. Kent Duston from the Banking Reform Coalition says the proposed changes make good steps forward, but it's unclear how much of a difference they will make. "I think the big issue here is that the banks simply don't care. Whatever Parliament says - we're on the back of an inquiry from the Commerce Commission, another inquiry from Parliament from the select committee...whatever it is Parliament's saying, clearly the banks aren't listening."

Labour says the new Regulatory Standards bill unfairly tilts the playing field. Act's controversial bill has passed its third reading at Parliament despite overwhelming backlash. The bill provides principals for lawmaking in an attempt to cut red tape and guide regulation. Labour's Regulation Spokesperson Duncan Webb told Ryan Bridge, while it isn't enforceable, it makes forming policy harder. He says it's like the Bill of Rights Act - which lawmakers can ignore - but it comes at a political cost. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a belief New Zealanders are no safer than they were before changes to the gun laws. A rewrite of the Arms Act simplifies rules for licensed owners for storage, repairs and visitor use, and adds harsher penalties. Gang members also won't be able to own a gun and semi-automatics will stay banned. Council of Licensed Firearms Owners spokesperson Hugh Devereux-Mack told Mike Hosking they were promised overwhelming reform but have only got a re-tweak of the existing law. He says the things that are mentioned are pretty good, but it's what is absent that is going to annoy a lot of licenced firearms owners who were expecting more.
