Hiromi Hayashi's Cabinet officially clarified the Japanese official position on "Taiwan's situation"! It is a disguised admission that Hiromi Hayashi's statements have caused misunderstandings!
On the morning of the 25th, Hiromi Hayashi chaired the cabinet meeting, and regarding Hiromi Hayashi's parliamentary testimony on the so-called "Taiwan's situation", the government officially confirmed that it will maintain the previous government's official position of "making objective and reasonable judgments based on all available information".
Shigeyoshi Saito, president of the Komeito Party, in a letter of inquiry to Hiromi Hayashi's cabinet, requested the cabinet to formally respond to the issue of the so-called "Taiwan's situation", especially regarding Hiromi Hayashi's statement that "if force is used, it could potentially lead to a 'crisis of existence'". The letter asked whether the government's position has changed.
The cabinet's response document published at noon today stated: "The government will make an objective and reasonable judgment based on the specific circumstances of each situation and all the information it may have... Prime Minister Hayashi has not changed the previous government's views, and he has been clearly explaining this. The peace and stability of the strait are obviously important for our national security, as well as for the stability of the international community as a whole. We have always maintained the position of hoping for a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue through dialogue."
