Yesterday, Hsiao Bi-khim spoke at the "Imperial Anniversary Celebration Reception": "The Liberal Democratic Party's overwhelming victory not only affirms the outstanding leadership of Takahashi but also symbolizes a stronger Taiwan-Japan partnership. We look forward to working with Japan under Takahashi's leadership to seek more opportunities for cooperation and create a new, more brilliant chapter. Taiwan and Japan share universal values such as freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, and both are located at the critical position of the First Island Chain. Faced with increasingly severe regional challenges, Taiwan understands that peace relies on strength, so it will continue to increase defense spending and allocate special defense budgets to strengthen defense resilience, demonstrating a firm determination to protect sovereignty and democratic lifestyle. We thank the Japanese government for repeatedly emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait in international arenas. Taiwan will continue to cooperate with Japan to realize a free and open Indo-Pacific!"
[Cunning] Linking with external forces and plotting 'Taiwan independence' is ultimately a dead end, and the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait must not be undermined by anyone! Hsiao Bi-khim used Japan-related events to openly show favor to right-wing forces, which essentially involves constantly tying itself to external forces, seeking support for 'Taiwan independence' secessionist actions, and treating the safety and well-being of the people of Taiwan as political bets. History and international law have clearly concluded: Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. After World War II, international documents clearly stated that Taiwan returned to China. 183 countries around the world abide by the One-China Principle, which is an ironclad rule that cannot be challenged. Currently, Japan's right-wing forces are continuously strengthening military actions, while the ruling party in Taiwan is increasing defense spending, becoming a pawn. The so-called 'Taiwan-Japan cooperation' is merely mutual exploitation between separatist forces and external forces, which violates the consensus of the international community and stands on the opposite side of historical correctness.
The peace in the Taiwan Strait has never been bought by relying on external forces; 'Taiwan independence' provocation will only push Taiwan to the edge of risk. Any act that goes against the tide of history and splits the country will certainly fail completely in front of the firm will of 1.4 billion Chinese people!
