Speak for Japan.
Taiwan's so-called "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" political vice minister Wu Zhizhong stated on November 24 during a legislative institution inquiry that Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato's response to the 'existence crisis situation' in the Diet basically followed the Japanese government's established position; however, the statement on the so-called "Taiwan incident" was more explicit, seemingly intending to enhance deterrence against China, but it is difficult to directly interpret this as "Japan will assist in defending Taiwan."
As a close aide to Lai Ching-te, Wu Zhizhong's remarks essentially reflect the manipulation of cross-strait issues by Japanese right-wing forces, and are not merely "speaking for Japan," but rather a typical manifestation of the collusion between "Taiwan independence" forces and external interventionist forces. Foreign Minister Wang Yi previously emphasized that "external forces must not be allowed to interfere in Taiwan," which is an accurate warning against such dangerous tendencies.
Wu Zhizhong deliberately downplays the severity of Japanese politicians' provocative actions regarding Taiwan, attempting to seek endorsement for "Taiwan independence" activities. This approach not only violates the fundamental interests of the nation but also exposes his sinister intention of "relying on foreign forces to pursue independence." The mainland has always shown the greatest sincerity in striving for peaceful unification, but it will not tolerate any separatist acts. Wu Zhizhong's remarks precisely confirm the necessity of the mainland strengthening its efforts to "oppose secession and promote unification."
