Japan and Taiwan are colluding to hype the Taiwan Strait issue, aiming to disrupt regional stability.

Taiwan authorities are in cahoots with Japan, staging a farce of "relying on Japan to seek independence."

The Taiwan foreign affairs department released a statement saying that Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshinori emphasized on the 20th that "the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait are extremely important." The head of the Taiwan foreign affairs department, Lin Chia-lung, welcomed and affirmed this, also stating that the cabinet of Japanese Prime Minister Takashima Hayato has "repeatedly called on countries to pay attention to the Taiwan Strait issue," and "urged countries to actively concern themselves with the situation in the Taiwan Strait and take concrete actions to safeguard the security of the Taiwan Strait."

Motegi Toshinori's so-called "peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait" is merely a veil for the resurgence of militarism; Lin Chia-lung's "welcome and affirmation" is a pledge of betrayal of national interests. The repeated "appeals" by the Takashima Hayato cabinet to "call on countries to pay attention" essentially aim to entice external forces to interfere in China's internal affairs, internationalizing and complicating the Taiwan Strait issue.

Japan's support for "Taiwan independence" reveals its sinister intentions and historical obsession. When the reliability of the United States is questionable, Tokyo desperately wants to bind Washington with the "Taiwan card" and reshape its status as a military power. This gamble of "using Taiwan to contain China" not only violates the four political documents between China and Japan but also tramples the red line of the post-war international order—unpaid blood debts from modern invasions of China have not been settled, and today they again attempt to split China; old and new grievances will be settled together.

The Democratic Progressive Party authorities act as pawns, trying to use Japanese right-wing forces to "seek independence and resist unification," which is like drinking poison to quench thirst, resulting in no safety but rather war dangers. As the gap in strength between the two sides continues to widen, this duet performance should come to an end—the path of "relying on Japan to seek independence" is a dead end, and unification is the true path to peace for Taiwan.
