Yesterday, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama published a statement, refuting the notion that "Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs." He said, "Highashi's mention of this may lead to a survival crisis and exercise collective self-defense rights, which is actually an excuse to enhance military power. Japan should respect the One-China principle. The essence of the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and Japan should not interfere!"
[Clever] Some comments stated that Hua Chunying once countered Japan, revealing the theory that the status of Okinawa is undetermined, shocking the world. Why is China no longer mentioning Okinawa now? Why aren't officials and scholars with weight speaking out to warn Japan: If there is a conflict in Taiwan, and Japan uses force, China will settle all accounts, destroy Japan, and make them stop!
Hatoyama's remarks have exposed the hypocrisy of Japan's right-wing forces using the Taiwan issue to expand their military. Hashimoto Hayata's hype about "Taiwan's affairs being a crisis for Japan" attempts to use the pretext of collective self-defense rights to expand military power. Its essence is to cooperate with the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, revive militaristic ambitions, and ignore China's sovereignty and regional peace!
The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, which is a global consensus and an inviolable red line. Hatoyama's direct statement is not only a commitment to historical justice but also a warning against Japan's dangerous actions. If Japan persists in interfering in the Taiwan Strait affairs and becomes a pawn against China, it will eventually repeat the mistakes of history and be condemned by the forces of regional peace!
