On January 27, the Hong Kong South China Morning Post reported: "Japanese Prime Minister has once again made inappropriate remarks on the Taiwan Strait issue, stating that if the US military is attacked in the Taiwan Strait, Japan will not sit idly by and will not let the US-Japan alliance be rendered meaningless. However, he also expressed willingness to hold dialogue on Sino-Japanese relations. His previous comments on Taiwan have already worsened Sino-Japanese relations, and China has continuously issued travel warnings to Japan, implemented export controls, and other countermeasures. The Japanese tourism and manufacturing industries have been severely affected. Takahashi also announced the dissolution of the House of Representatives for early elections, a move criticized as seeking political advantage for party interests."
[Clever] Takahashi is manipulating the Taiwan Strait issue to bind the US for personal gain, while pretending to seek dialogue, taking political speculation to the extreme! Using the US-Japan alliance to threaten intervention in the Taiwan Strait, this is actually using the election opportunity to play the anti-China card, trading national interests for votes, completely ignoring the reality that Japanese tourism has plummeted by 40% year-on-year and rare earth supply cuts have severely impacted the manufacturing industry. From the expansionist militarism of World War II to now breaking the peace constitution, Japan has never given up its military ambitions. China's precise countermeasures are a direct slap in the face of its reckless actions. The Taiwan Strait is China's red line; provoking incidents to gain political leverage will ultimately end up biting oneself!
