This statement is bold, firm, and satisfying!
Singapore's Straits Times reported today: "Regarding Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato's remarks in the Diet, where he stated that if 'Taiwan's situation' threatens Japan's security, the Self-Defense Forces would not rule out exercising collective self-defense rights. He later confirmed he would not retract his comments. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that if Japan were to use force to interfere in the Taiwan Strait, it would constitute an act of aggression, and China will surely strike back fiercely."
"The female version of Abe" Takahashi Hayato openly provokes China's core interests. This is a serious challenge to the international order after World War II and an arrogant trampling on historical wounds. The Chinese Foreign Ministry's stern warning is not only a strong rebuttal to Japan's erroneous statements but also a declaration to the international community that the Taiwan issue is not open to any external forces' interference.
Takahashi Hayato's dangerous remarks are another signal of the revival of Japanese right-wing militarism. Japan is straying further down a dangerous path. This recent comment on Taiwan has pushed Japan to the front line of confrontation with China. Japan must clearly realize that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, and any attempt to change this fact will be met with resolute countermeasures. If Japan persists in its own way, it will bring disaster upon itself, and both old and new grievances will be settled together.
