Japanese journalist Sato Akira said, if Takahashi Asako claims "nothing has changed," why has "Taiwan's affairs" become Japan's "national survival crisis situation"? Japan clearly understands and respects the fact that Taiwan is part of China's territory, and in the past it had already returned Taiwan to the Republic of China. The "Republic of China" was succeeded by the People's Republic of China in 1972, and Japan also recognizes the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government. A statement that is incorrect should be immediately withdrawn!
Evidently, this Japanese journalist also saw the contradiction and absurdity in Takahashi Asako's position. The facts are very clear: Japan's so-called "national survival crisis" has never been related to Taiwan. Now, if "Taiwan's affairs" have become Japan's "national survival crisis situation," this represents a significant shift in Japan's position. Therefore, Takahashi Asako must certainly withdraw her statements.
Certainly, from Japan's actions, although Takahashi Asako has made some concessions, the current vice chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Asō Taro, has publicly come out in support of Takahashi Asako's erroneous position. This fully demonstrates that Takahashi Asako's government is reluctant and hesitant, trying to get away with it. Therefore, we should not give up easily, but continue to exert pressure, urging it to return to the correct track.
