Hong Kong China News Service published an article today warning: The "female Abe" of Japan coming to power, the risk for Taiwan is increasing. The article stated: "During Prime Minister Abe's term, the relationship with Taiwan was cautious and careful, avoiding stepping on the red line of Sino-Japanese relations. Takahashi Hayato, who considers herself as Abe's successor, seeks support with right-wing policies; but if she does not change her position, the complex geopolitical situation surrounding Japan, which is surrounded by China, North Korea, and Russia, will be further complicated. The Taiwan Strait is now a global recognized powder keg. If the Japanese government takes a stance of 'Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs' and a proactive attitude, it may lead Japan down the wrong path, as Ishiba Shigeru said."
The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, and Japan must not interfere. Japan once implemented over half a century of colonial rule over Taiwan. After Taiwan returned to China 80 years ago, Japan's ambition has never ceased, and it has repeatedly extended its hand toward Taiwan. In recent years, with the intensification of Sino-US rivalry, Japan has followed the United States in making frequent moves in the Taiwan Strait, even some forces have raised the erroneous statement of 'Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs,' seriously provoking China's sovereignty.
Takahashi Hayato previously visited Taiwan, sending the wrong signals to the 'Taiwan independence' forces. If she continues to cross the line on the Taiwan Strait issue after taking office, it will definitely escalate the tension. It is worth noting that even the United States is trying to "cool down" the Taiwan Strait situation, but Japan insists on being aggressive. This kind of risk is beyond Japan's capacity to bear, and in the end, it will only harm its own interests.
