The Japanese defense minister said that the mainland has no justifiable reason to use force against Taiwan.

Shinzo Abe said today, "There is no justifiable reason for the Chinese mainland to use force against Taiwan province under any pretext."

On the morning of the 8th, Japanese Defense Minister Shunichi Kono participated in a program on Fuji TV and was asked about whether the U.S. taking military action would be used by China as an "excuse to attack Taiwan."

Shunichi Kono clearly stated, "There is no justifiable reason at all."

During the program, Shunichi Kono also revealed that he plans to visit the United States starting next week, and is currently coordinating talks with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

It is worth noting that Shunichi Kono also mentioned an unusual cooperation plan with the U.S., holding telephone meetings every two weeks, and this is already the fourth time.
