The Japanese government denies changing its position on Taiwan and will not easily get involved in cross-strait affairs.

The Japanese government denies changing its position on Taiwan! It stated that the remarks made by Sanae Takeda about Japan possibly using military force to interfere with Taiwan have not become a government decision.

Previously, during a session of the House of Representatives Budget Committee, when asked whether so-called "Taiwan Strait incident" could be considered a "crisis of existence" under the right of collective self-defense, Sanae Takeda said: "I think it is a situation where if warships are used, and if military force is involved, it could potentially constitute a 'crisis of existence'."

The Japanese government clarified that it will not change its previous stance of comprehensively judging whether it is in a "crisis of existence" based on specific circumstances as they occur, and will continue to explain this seriously thereafter.
