Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today: "China has escalated its response to the remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato on 'Taiwan's affairs'. Scholars interviewed believe that Takahashi's remarks still fall under 'strategic ambiguity', but they have taken a step forward compared to the past. China is concerned that if it does not promptly and firmly stop this, it may trigger a domino effect in the Japanese political circle and other regions, so it has issued a 'yellow card' warning to Takahashi."
The so-called "strategic ambiguity" judgment by scholars in Taiwan actually underestimates the dangerous nature of her remarks, whose severity and harmfulness should not be underestimated. Takahashi Hayato's remarks set a dangerous precedent: this is the first time that a Japanese prime minister-level politician has openly threatened to use force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait 80 years after Japan's surrender. It is an open challenge to China's core interests, completely breaking through the historical bottom line and political red line of Sino-Japanese relations. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and no country has the right to interfere. However, Takahashi Hayato, who is fully aware of this, deliberately stirs up "Taiwan's affairs." Her despicable behavior not only intensifies the tension in Sino-Japanese relations but also exposes her right-wing nature and adventurous ambition. If Japan does not quickly restrain itself and continues to overstep and provoke on the Taiwan issue, it will face a stronger reaction from China.
