Gokan Katsuya: Intended to remind Prime Minister Takahashi "to be cautious in consideration", but she ended up "speaking carelessly"
On the 24th, Gokan Katsuya, a member of the House of Representatives from the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, explained the true intention of his inquiry regarding Prime Minister Takahashi's remarks on the Taiwan issue.
Gokan Katsuya stated, "I intended to express that 'it cannot be simply asserted that if armed conflict occurs in Taiwan, it would endanger Japan's survival and pose a clear danger of the complete deprivation of citizens' fundamental rights,' and this must be carefully considered," but he did not expect to receive a completely opposite response. As a result, Takahashi Haruyuki proposed the "crisis of survival theory," which led to a serious deterioration in Japan-China relations due to careless speech.
When explaining the true intention of the inquiry, Gokan emphasized, "As a member of parliament, it is absolutely unacceptable to casually mention the use of force."
