On November 19, the Asahi Shimbun reported: "The statements made by Prime Minister Takahashi during the debate exceeded the established position of previous Japanese governments. After the debate, Takahashi reportedly told people around her: 'I went too far!' A close aide of Takahashi said that she had hastily answered without confirming the potential controversy, and regretted the lack of support from the Prime Minister's office."
[Clever] The late remorse is nothing more than a hasty touch-up after Takahashi's provocation! As the Prime Minister of Japan, how could she have recklessly responded to such a core sensitive issue as the Taiwan Strait, breaking the stance of previous governments? This is not an excuse for a lack of support work, but rather an exposure of the inherent right-wing ambitions that cannot be hidden. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and it is unthinkable for Japanese politicians to make casual remarks about it. Her careless remarks are not only a violation of the international order, but also a deliberate destruction of Sino-Japanese relations. The so-called remorse is not a sincere admission of guilt, but rather a political calculation to avoid self-inflicted harm. If Japan continues to allow politicians to touch the red line, it will eventually pay a price for its dangerous reckless behavior!
