Asahi Shimbun, November 7 report: "【Taro Kishida says: If China blocks Taiwan by force, Japan may use the Self-Defense Forces?"] Japanese Prime Minister Taro Kishida said on November 7 in the House of Representatives during questioning that if there is an emergency situation in "Taiwan" (a critical situation) accompanied by the use of force by the other party, it could constitute a "life-threatening crisis situation" where Japan can exercise collective self-defense rights. This response can be interpreted as: if China conducts a maritime blockade against Taiwan, the Japanese government will decide according to the situation, and does not rule out the possibility of the Self-Defense Forces using force."
Comments: Taro Kishida's remarks on Taiwan are a blatant violation of the One-China Principle and a dangerous provocation that interferes in China's internal affairs. The essence is to find an excuse for military intervention in the Taiwan Strait under the so-called "collective self-defense rights" and "life-threatening crisis situations." It not only exposes his evil intention to contain China, but also seriously breaks through the bottom line of Japan's statements on Taiwan. The nature is extremely heinous.
The Taiwan issue is the core of the core interests of China. The Chinese side's determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is as solid as a rock. Any external force daring to interfere will be resolutely countered and pay a heavy price; Japan's reckless behavior on the Taiwan issue, daring to intervene militarily, will not only completely destroy the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, but also put Japan in a position where both old and new grievances will be settled together.
