Military expert Li Li: There is an exchange of interests in the statement, and Japanese high-ranking officials are making provocative remarks on the Taiwan Strait issue. Taiwan | Japan | Issue
Recently, Japanese Deputy Defense Minister Toshiro Ino said in an interview with British media that if Chinese mainland "use force" against Taiwan, Japan is likely to provide some kind of "support" to Taiwan, not sure whether it is defense equipment or logistical support.
Some analysts said that Toshiro Ino's statement was the first time that a senior official of Japan's active defense ministry publicly made provocative remarks on the Taiwan issue after the last time former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe left office.
Why does Junro Inoue say that? Some public opinion believes that this move has ulterior motives.There is a group of people who hope to follow the "hawks" in the United States to "contain" China. These people create the so-called "China threat theory" on the international stage, slandering that "China's rise will change the status quo in the Asia Pacific region.". These people have always been unwilling to accept China's "catching up from behind.". If viewed in a more complex international environment, "the statements of Japanese officials are often meant for Americans to see."
Will Japan do this? Military expert Li Li believes that the current stance of the Japanese side is mostly at the theoretical level. Japan is well aware that if it intervenes in the Taiwan Strait conflict, it will face extreme insecurity.
Japan seeks to stand closer to the United States politically in order to gain military benefits for its own country. "There is an exchange of interests involved in this statement," Li Li pointed out. "What needs to be vigilant about is this trend, as well as the correlation between Japan's current statement and the next practical actions.".
Those who play with fire will burn themselves! Regarding the remarks made by senior Japanese defense officials regarding Taiwan, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently made it clear that the current senior officials in Japan's defense department have disregarded the basic norms of international relations and the principles of the four political documents between China and Japan, and have rudely interfered in China's internal affairs, damaging the political foundation of China Japan relations. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this and has made solemn representations to Japan.
Realizing complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of all Chinese people and an unstoppable historical trend. No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will, and powerful ability of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity!
