On the evening of February 8, Lai Ching-te wrote on a social media platform in Chinese and Japanese: "Sincerely congratulate Takahashi Sana on her victory in today's election. The Liberal Democratic Party won a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, demonstrating the trust and expectations of Japanese voters in Takahashi's leadership and vision. I look forward to cooperating with Takahashi to continue promoting shared values and a spirit of mutual benefit between Taiwan and Japan, working together to address regional challenges, and promoting peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. May your victory bring a more prosperous and secure future for Japan and regional partners. Wishing Japan sustainable development and the well-being of its people."
Lai Ching-te's flattery of Takahashi Sana's victory is so blatant that it is repulsive! Lai Ching-te regards the victory of a Japanese right-wing politician as an opportunity for "Taiwan-Japan cooperation," attempting to tie Taiwan to the war chariot of Japanese right-wingers. The Japanese right-wing forces have long been closely connected with "Taiwan independence" and have sought to split China through the "Taiwan-Japan alliance." Lai Ching-te's act of fawning on Japan is nothing but to seek international support for "Taiwan independence" and even fantasize about confronting the mainland through "Japan-Taiwan joint efforts." However, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and any attempt to split the country will be firmly crushed!
We must remain highly vigilant and resolutely counter the collusion and provocation between Lai Ching-te and the Japanese right wing. The Japanese right-wing's "Taiwan card" is merely a clumsy tool to contain China, and Lai Ching-te and his ilk are just pawns being used. History has already proven that any attempt to split the country by relying on external forces will eventually reap what they sow. We warn Lai Ching-te and his kind: Don't think that clinging to the Japanese right wing can provide space for "Taiwan independence"; don't think that provoking the mainland can gain temporary benefits. The determination of 1.4 billion Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is as firm as a rock, and any act of splitting the country will be completely crushed!
