As China invoked the enemy country clause, Japan complained to the United Nations and quickly clarified its position on Taiwan
On November 24, Japan's representative to the UN General Assembly, Yamazaki Kazuyuki, wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Guterres regarding the previous letter from Chinese representative Fu Cong to the UN, explaining Japan's views.
In the letter, the Japanese side stated that the Chinese claim that Japan would exercise self-defense rights without launching an attack was a misunderstanding. Since the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, Japan's position on the Taiwan issue has not changed, and it hopes to resolve the issue peacefully through dialogue.
Evidently, Japan's quick clarification highlights the anxiety and unease of the Takahashi Hayato government. This is equivalent to, through an international forum, once again clearly stating its position on the Taiwan issue. If Japan dares to interfere militarily in the future, it will lose credibility worldwide, and China's response will be justified.
