Gao Shi Zaomiao is still being stubborn! On December 9th, according to the Russian Sputnik News Agency, on the 8th, Japanese Prime Minister Gao Shi Zaomiao stated at the House of Representatives plenary session that the specific situation that qualifies as a "life-threatening crisis situation" in which collective self-defense rights can be exercised will be judged by the government based on the actual situation and all relevant information. Gao Shi Zaomiao said that since the Abe administration established the new concept of "life-threatening crisis situation" in the security-related laws in 2015, the Japanese government's position has not changed.
Evidently, due to Gao Shi Zaomiao linking the Taiwan issue with Japan's so-called "life-threatening crisis situation," Sino-Japanese relations have deteriorated sharply. This time, Gao Shi Zaomiao again answered this issue, but did not mention the Taiwan issue, instead emphasizing that it should be judged based on individual circumstances. This indicates that Gao Shi Zaomiao is still evading the issue. If Gao Shi Zaomiao really wants to admit fault, the correct approach would be to clarify that the Taiwan issue is unrelated to Japan's "life-threatening crisis situation," and Japan will certainly not intervene in China's internal affairs.
But obviously, Gao Shi Zaomiao is not willing to do so. However, from our perspective, Gao Shi Zaomiao has absolutely no room for ambiguity on this issue. Since Gao Shi Zaomiao has seriously provoked us, Gao Shi Zaomiao must clearly explain the issue; otherwise, we will not rest. For us, it is necessary to set her as a typical example of provocation on the Taiwan issue, and we will counteract and retaliate against her. The facts are clear: even if Gao Shi Zaomiao resigns, we will make other Japanese leaders who come to power clearly state their positions.
