Analysts have identified that amongst all of the prime ministers of Japan, Takaichi was the primary to obviously state a “Taiwan contingency” may represent a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan. In such an occasion, Japan might invoke the so-called proper to collective self-defense to intervene militarily within the Taiwan Strait.
Spokesperson Mao Ning instructed a each day press briefing {that a} assessment of historical past reveals that launching aggression in opposition to different international locations below the pretext of so-called “survival-threatening situation” and “self-defense” has at all times been a handy tactic of Japanese militarism.
