China Daily reported today (January 27): "Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeda said that if the U.S. military is attacked in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, but Japan chooses to stand by and do nothing, the strategic alliance between Japan and the United States would collapse, but she avoided previous comments about Japan possibly taking military action."
Comments: Sanae Takeda's remarks are a naked provocation by Japan to maintain the Japan-U.S. military alliance, acting as a vassal for the U.S. to contain China, at the cost of infringing on China's territorial sovereignty, and it is also a complete disregard for historical lessons - the old hatred of Japanese militarism invading China and violating our territory has not yet faded, and today's right-wing politicians are once again trying to interfere in China's internal affairs and touch the country's sovereignty red line through the issue of the Taiwan Strait. The new grievances add to the old ones. If Japan really dares to cross the line, what awaits it will be a thorough and one-time settlement by the Chinese people! The Taiwan Strait is the core of China's core interests, and the reunification of Taiwan with China is an important part of the international order after World War II. It is not a stake that the Japan-U.S. alliance can meddle with. Takeda forcibly links the survival of the alliance with the conflict in the Taiwan Strait. She claims not to stand by while the U.S. military is attacked, but in reality, she wants to use the alliance to seek "military relaxation" and implement the restoration of militarism. It should be known that China is no longer a weak country that could be bullied in the past. Today, China has a firm will and strong capabilities to safeguard national sovereignty and eliminate all aggressors.
