Not long after Japan's newly appointed Takaichi Sanae sat firmly in her seat, she spoke in the National Assembly, saying that if something happened to Taiwan, it might involve Japan's life and death, and the Self-Defense Forces could use the right of collective self-defense to help.

Seeing that Sino-Japanese relations have fallen to the freezing point again, although the United States has said that it supports it, China directly bypasses them, and on November 21, it sent a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, informing more than 190 member states, making it clear that if Japan dares to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, it will be aggression, and China has the right to defend itself in accordance with the UN Charter.

This is not the first time, Japan has always loved to stir up on the Taiwan issue over the years, and this time Takaichi is so straight, the international community is watching the excitement. Behind this is that Japan wants to take the opportunity to loosen the peace constitution, or is it simply a pawn for the United States? Anyway, China is playing hard, and the United States has no way to speak, and the whole world has to weigh it.

Takaichi's background determines her sensitivity to Taiwan, and she has an iron relationship with Abe's faction, and hyped up the China threat theory in her early years.

Her remarks are not an isolated case, Japan and the United States in 2021 drafted a joint action plan in the Taiwan Strait, setting up temporary bases in the southwestern islands, with the U.S. Marine Corps first and Japanese logistics support. In September of that year, the Self-Defense Forces conducted large-scale exercises, with 100,000 troops mobilized to simulate an amphibious landing, from Miyako Island to Yonaguni Island, and the engineering team built 130 ammunition depots and missile positions lined up.

These deployments were originally precautions, but after Gao Shi came to power, he directly made them public, which was equivalent to sending a message to the international community: Japan is not only defending, but also preparing to intervene. This not only angered China, but also made Southeast Asian countries sound alarm bells, Malaysia directly protested that she went to the memorial monument to lay flowers, and South Korea and North Korea reaffirmed one China.

Her political ambitions, short-term to win right-wing votes, but in the long term to push Japan into isolation, economically withdrawing Chinese tourists, banning aquatic exports, Japan losing hundreds of billions of yen, and the tourism industry is worse. This "iron lady" came to power quickly, but the end is unpredictable, the Japanese people are not stupid, and there are more and more street protests.

Congress takes the lead: the Taiwan Strait plan and China's bottom line behind Gao Shi's remarks

On November 7, Sanae Takaichi replied at the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives, which was originally a routine business, and Constitutional Democratic Party lawmaker Katsuya Okada asked if the blockade of the Taiwan Strait would cut off Japan's energy, and she paused, saying that if it was accompanied by warships and force, it would be an existential crisis, and the Self-Defense Forces could exercise the right of collective self-defense to a limited extent. As soon as these words came out, it was the first time that Japan publicly tied Taiwan affairs and its own safety to death, hinting that it might send troops.

On November 10, she defended for the second time, saying that this was the government's consistent position and would not change. Beijing reacted quickly, and on November 8, Xue Jian, the consul general in Osaka, posted on social platforms, warning that this was a dead end.

On November 13, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador Kenji Kanesugi and listed how Gao Shi's remarks interfered in internal affairs one by one. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian reiterated at a press conference that Taiwan is China's territory, and external intervention is aggression, and China will strike.

In 2021, the Japanese Self-Defense Force formulated a combat plan in the Taiwan Strait, not on paper, but with real swords and guns. That year, in the global fight against the epidemic, the Japanese military drew a frontier line in the southwestern islands, and the plan was divided into three sets: amphibious mobile regiment assault, large-scale landing from the land, and missile blockade of the sea area.

On November 14, Lin Jian held a press conference, saying that Taiwan cannot intervene, and Japan's intervention is aggression and will be severely attacked. On November 19, at the regular meeting of Mao Ning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he answered five questions, saying that Gao Shi was the first prime minister to link Taiwan's affairs with an existential crisis, violating the Potsdam Proclamation.

On November 21, Fu Cong wrote to Guterres that Liego made three remarks for the first time: the first time he advocated that something happened in Taiwan was the right of collective self-defense of Japan, the first time he expressed his ambition to intervene in the armed forces, and the first time he threatened China with force.

The letter said that this is the first public provocation by a Japanese leader in the 80 years since the defeat of the war, seriously undermining the post-war order, Taiwan is Chinese territory, interference is aggression, and China's exercise of the right to self-defense is legitimate. The document, as an official document of the General Assembly, was distributed to 193 countries, which is equivalent to international predestination: Japan used force, and China's counterattack was legal.

On November 19, the United States approved the sale of Japan's $82 million precision-guided bombs, and the State Department Piggott said that the defense promised to cover the Diaoyu Islands, and the US ambassador to Japan issued a document to support the city. But after the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier showed its muscles, the main force of the US military retreated from the second island chain, and the Philippines pushed the front line.

Japan resells Patriot missiles, and the United States acquiesces due to Ukraine's lack of stock. Tokyo warehouse workers move boxes and planes take off. The high market gets weapons, but debt adds risk, and the United States uses allies as shields to exchange geopolitical benefits. Asia rebounded greatly, South Korea and North Korea reaffirmed one China.

Gao Ichi's remarks are legally untenable. The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation confirmed Taiwan's Chinese territory, and Japan's surrender was signed. The United Nations Charter is sovereign equal and does not interfere in internal affairs, and Gao Shi pulled China's internal affairs into Japan's existential framework, violating these. Her concept of "existential crisis", from the 2015 New Security Law, was originally limited self-defense, and she expanded her interpretation to find an excuse for breaking through Article 9.

Japan's three principles of non-nuclear weapons are discussed, and plutonium reserves are super civilian, and she wants to change the part that does not introduce nuclear weapons and cross the nuclear threshold. In other words, this is not only the Taiwan Maritime Affairs, but also the signal of Japan's military-state recovery, the international community is alert, and China notifying the United Nations is to block her back road.

Historical lessons are heavy, Gao City Kuala Lumpur presented flowers to Tokyo to celebrate, and neighboring countries looked at it coldly. Economic risk diplomacy isolates life gambling, not covered by slogans. The US-Japan alliance is noose, and Japan is on the edge. The pressure of Gao City's ruling party is shadowed, and politics hangs by a thread.

In this turmoil, the Japanese right-wing wants to use Taiwan's normalization to actually expose its weaknesses. China informed the United Nations to awaken the ghost of the defeat clause, Japan's World War II crimes have not been cleared, and military history is difficult to overturn. From an international perspective, if Japan does not change, the stability of the Asia-Pacific region will be difficult to guarantee, China's self-defense will be justified, and a global consensus will gradually form.
