Local politicians from Taiwan visit Japan, take a photo at Takahashi Hayato's desk?

The controversy caused by Takahashi Hayato's erroneous remarks about Taiwan has not yet subsided, and a group of local politicians from Taiwan have once again made a move to Japan for publicity at this critical moment, but the result was quite embarrassing.

According to multiple Taiwanese media reports, recently, the chairman of the Taiwan People's Party, Huang Kuo-chang, led a delegation to Japan in an attempt to meet with several Japanese politicians, but they were repeatedly turned away, and finally could only take a photo around Takahashi Hayato's desk and ended the trip hastily.

Even more ridiculous is that in this group photo, Huang Kuo-chang and his team stood around an empty long table — this scene was mocked by netizens in Taiwan as "the scene of a farewell ceremony" and "is this a wake?", which was extremely awkward.

Getting back to the topic. From the time point chosen by Huang Kuo-chang and others, it can be seen that these local politicians from Taiwan clearly intended to visit Japan under the pretext of the tense China-Japan relations, in order to draw attention.

Huang Kuo-chang's trip originally planned to meet with important Japanese political figures such as the vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party, Asho Taro, and the leader of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Hashimoto Yoshimasa, but it was very embarrassing that Asho Taro and Hashimoto Yoshimasa did not accept Huang Kuo-chang's request for a meeting, not even the senior members of the New Party met with him.

At this time, various Japanese parties avoiding the Taiwanese politicians is obviously not accidental — it can perhaps be considered that after Takahashi Hayato's erroneous remarks about Taiwan have been warned and countered by China, and the United States has not expressed support, although the Japanese political circles are still trying to maintain their words, they have begun to pay attention to their own actions in private to avoid further escalating the China-Japan tensions at this time.
