The Chinese Embassy in Japan has called on authorities to investigate a series of terror threats and take steps to ensure the safety of its diplomatic missions and personnel.

A 23-year-old serving officer allegedly scaled the embassy wall in Tokyo with a knife last month, prompting the Chinese side to lodge 'solemn representations' with Japan.

The breach is linked to a series of threats received over recent weeks, including a warning letter sent to the embassy by individuals claiming to be former Japanese police officers and ex-members of the Self-Defense Forces.

Chinese officials have expressed concern that the matter remains unresolved, despite repeated communication with Japanese police.

Another threat surfaced online, claiming a remotely controlled bomb had been planted within the embassy, raising questions about follow-up action and preventive measures.
