BEIJING, March 25 (Reuters) - China’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday urged Tokyo to bring the full weight of the law against an individual who broke into the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo on Tuesday.

The perpetrator, armed with an 18-centimetre (7.1 inches) long knife during the break-in, was handed over to police, ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference. The Chinese embassy is cooperating with Japanese police over the incident, he added.
