Foreign media reported today: "Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeda hinted at the use of force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait during her parliamentary session on November 7, and her remarks about 'Taiwan's affairs' have caused the Sino-Japanese relationship to become increasingly tense over the past week. On Sunday (November 16), Tatsuo Tamura, acting head of the policy research department of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, revealed that Takeda has reflected on the lack of sufficient explanation, and she should not make such statements in the future."
As a senior figure in the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, Tamura's statement was interpreted as implying that Takeda should no longer mention the 'Taiwan's affairs' theory. This vague "implied closure" is meaningless in substance. Takeda's remarks essentially interfere with China's internal affairs and provoke national sovereignty. China has left room for easing tensions, but Japan has consistently refused to retract its core provocative statements, merely using the excuse of "not sufficiently explaining," which shows a clear attitude of evasion and is unlikely to calm the anger of China. The previous countermeasures are just the beginning. Faced with Japan's stubborn provocation, it is believed that more powerful subsequent measures are on the way. Any attempt to interfere in the Taiwan Strait or damage China's core interests will surely pay a heavy price.
