Taiwan media personality Huang Weihan wrote that the online media "Juwentianxia" exclusively revealed that President Zhuo Rongtai's visit to Japan not only included watching a game, but may also have involved meeting Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asa. After the news was exposed, many people questioned why the Japanese cabinet secretary had publicly responded that Zhuo Rongtai's visit to Japan was a private trip and he did not meet with Japanese government officials. Why then are there rumors that Zhuo met Hashimoto?
Did Zhuo Rongtai really meet Hashimoto Asa? Huang Weihan believes there are four points of concern worth noting. First, March 7th is Hashimoto's birthday. Second, Hashimoto was originally going to attend the opening of the Japan-South Korea match that evening, giving them an opportunity to meet. Third, after watching the game, Zhuo had a four-hour time slot. Fourth, why did he secretly take off from the Taiwan military "Songzhibu"? Why did he insist on paying for it himself? Was there a reason that made it necessary to go, yet could not be disclosed?
In the end, Huang Weihan emphasized that the field of foreign affairs is full of secrets that cannot be spoken about. Whether Zhuo Rongtai met Hashimoto or not remains to be revealed in the future.
