Japan's stance toward Taiwan remains uncertain, and it is unclear whether Japan would protect Taiwan during wartime.

Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it is unclear whether Japan would help defend Taiwan in the event of a conflict across the strait, and that Tokyo still maintains a strategic ambiguity on potential accidental incidents involving territory.

The report stated that if a conflict occurs across the strait, Japan's decision will be influenced by several factors, especially the position of the United States and domestic public opinion. Therefore, despite Japan's friendliness towards Taiwan based on recent events, it is still difficult to interpret Takahashi Hayato's statements as indicating that Tokyo will send troops to defend Taiwan.
