Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida strongly condemned missile launches by China as Chinese missiles for the first time landed in Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone during live-fire military exercises conducted by China around Taiwan following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei. PM Kishida also met visiting US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and said that his government had urged Beijing to call off its military exercises immediately.<br />''<br />''Japan on Thursday said at least five missiles landed in its EEZ, a zone that stretches 200 nautical miles (370km or 230 miles) from the outer limits of its territorial seas and has lodged strong diplomatic protests over the move. Dismissing Japan's complaints, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters Thursday "Since China and Japan have not yet carried out maritime delimitation in relevant waters, China does not accept the notion of so-called Japanese EEZ." Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also cancelled a planned meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister scheduled for yesterday in Phnom Penh on the sidelines of ASEAN Foreign Minister's meet.<br />''<br />''Chinese state media reported that Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Deng Li summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Hideo Tarumi on Japan's "wrong position with G7 and EU concerning the Taiwan question", saying it seriously violated basic international rules and four China-Japan political documents. State media reported the Chinese Foreign Ministry summoned envoys of the EU and relevant European countries to China and lodged representation over G7 and EU's statement on the Taiwan question.<br />''<br />''China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday hit out at U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan during his meeting with his Southeast Asian counterparts who, in a statement on Thursday, said they were "concerned" about the ongoing cross-strait tensions, noting that they are occurring next door to Southeast Asia. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations warned that the developments could "destabilize the region and eventually could lead to miscalculation, serious confrontation, open conflicts and unpredictable consequences among major powers." In a separate meeting with ASEAN ministers on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the Taiwan issue. He said Washington remains committed to its "One China" policy and that it has reached out to Beijing "at every level of government" to ease tensions.<br />''<br />''Meanwhile, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday praised Taiwan, pledged U.S. solidarity, and said her trip through Asia, which led to unprecedented military drills by an angry China, was never about changing the regional status quo. She said that China will not isolate Taiwan by preventing U.S. officials from traveling there. She made the remarks in Tokyo on the final leg of an Asia tour highlighted by a visit to Taiwan that infuriated China.<br />''<br />''Taiwan has condemned the exercises, saying some infringe on Taiwan's territorial waters and amount to a sea and air blockade of the island as Chinese missiles for the first time flew over Taiwan. Authorities in Taiwan also urged ships and planes traveling in the area to find alternative routes, and on Thursday canceled dozens of flights at the Taoyuan Airport in the capital, Taipei. South Korea's Korean Air and Asiana Airlines also suspended services to Taiwan for one or two days because of the exercises, according to local media. China has suspended some trade with Taiwan in apparent retaliation for a visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the self-governing island. The restrictions include the suspension of some citrus fruits and fish imports from Taiwan and exports of natural sand to the island.<br />
