Japan's Komeito Party President Hashimoto questions whether Takahashi Hayato can truly uphold the existing stance on Taiwan and the three principles of non-nuclear policy!
Hashimoto Tetsuo has doubts about whether the Japanese government's position and basic principles have been upheld so far, regarding Takahashi Hayato's responses in the Diet on the so-called "Taiwan issue," and stated that he will personally submit a request for clarification to the government, asking the Takahashi Hayato cabinet to make corrections.
Takahashi Hayato stated in the Diet that, regarding the so-called "Taiwan issue," if force is used, it could become a "crisis of existence" and thus exercise collective self-defense rights.
Additionally, when asked whether the "three principles of non-nuclear policy" would be maintained during the revision of three documents including the "National Security Strategy," Takahashi Hayato evaded the question and refused to answer.
In response, Hashimoto Tetsuo stated at a central committee meeting of Komeito: "I am very doubtful about whether the Takahashi Hayato government's views and basic attitude on security issues have been upheld. We must strictly confirm this."
"The fundamental policies of the country cannot waver. The Prime Minister's responses in the Diet cannot be vague. This is a very serious situation that concerns the foundation of the nation and the inclusiveness of the Cabinet."
