Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Kōichi Hatakeyama once again made remarks related to Taiwan, claiming that if the U.S. military is attacked and Japan does not respond, the Japan-U.S. alliance would be difficult to maintain.
According to Phoenix Television, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama stated on January 29 during an interview with the media that Hatakeyama's comments pose a great risk to Sino-Japanese relations, possibly leading it back to the state before the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations.
Hatoyama said, "The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and Hatakeyama has completely failed to understand this. This is not something Japan should get involved in. I cannot understand why Hatakeyama keeps delving into this issue."

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jikun stated on January 27 at a regular press conference that regardless of history or law, the Japanese side has no right to comment on Taiwan, China.
Guo Jikun said that the Japanese side's remarks once again expose the ambitions of Japan's right-wing forces to incite division, create incidents, and push for "re-militarization," challenging the post-war international order. This has posed a serious threat to regional peace and stability and the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, and the international community must remain highly vigilant and resolutely resist it.
