Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has publicly announced that he will not participate in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election in September. After Kishida Fumio announced this news, who will become Kishida's successor has become the most concerning thing. Currently, the one with the highest voice is Ishiba Shigeru. However, he visited the station not long ago and asked " The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces have sent a very wrong signal of rejection of reunification. The actions of Japanese politicians such as Shigeru Ishiba have also aroused strong dissatisfaction in China.
According to the Chinese Embassy in Japan, regarding Ishiba Shigeru’s behavior of going to Taiwan and meeting with Lai Qingde and others, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Japan said that the words and deeds of relevant Japanese politicians have blatantly violated the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan. Moreover, the commitment made by Japan on the Taiwan issue is a gross interference in China's internal affairs. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this. At the same time, China has also made solemn representations to Japan. The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy also warned the Japanese side that if some people in Japan harbor the illusion of encroaching on the Taiwan Strait and attempt to obstruct China's reunification, they will have to pay a heavy price for this.
While the Chinese Embassy in Japan issued a warning, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a stern warning to individual Japanese politicians. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that individual Japanese politicians should keep in mind the lessons of history and recognize the fact that there is only one China in the world and that Taiwan is part of China. The Taiwan issue is not only the core of China's core interests, but also related to the politics of Sino-Japanese relations. The foundation is an insurmountable red line. Lin Jian not only issued a warning to Shi Pomao and others, but also issued a warning to the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, saying that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities stubbornly adhered to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence" and also colluded with external forces to engage in "blackmailing foreign countries to seek independence", and were destined to end up with Ended in failure.
It is understood that when Shigeru Ishiba visited Taiwan, he publicly stated that it was very important for the Japanese and Taiwan authorities to exchange intelligence. He also boldly stated that the mainland must realize that it would need to pay a "heavy price" for using force against Taiwan. The Japanese congressmen who fled to Taiwan with Shigeru Ishiba also exchanged views with Xiao Meiqin and others on how to respond to "something goes wrong in Taiwan." It was the successive statements of these Japanese politicians that provided great confidence to the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island. So much so that when Lai Qingde met with Shigeru Ishiba, he constantly exaggerated the "military threat" of the People's Liberation Army and also boasted about the Western camp. Support for Taiwan.
Judging from Ishiba Shigeru’s statement about his move to Taiwan this time, if he really becomes the next Prime Minister of Japan, Japan’s China policy may be very radical, and he may even go to the Taiwan Strait to cause trouble, which will seriously affect regional peace and stability. Sino-Japanese relations will also be a big challenge. Therefore, China issued a warning against Japanese officials' behavior of secretly infiltrating Taiwan and drew a clear red line on the Taiwan issue in order to clarify China's position to Japan and at the same time weaken or even extinguish the arrogance of the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces on the island.
Shigeru Ishiba’s visit to Taiwan at this critical time has obvious political implications. As the popular successor to Fumio Kishida, Shigeru Ishiba has a high reputation among Japanese people, but his foundation within the Liberal Democratic Party is very weak, which also prompts him to win more support. The move to Taiwan this time is Ishiba's attempt to accumulate political capital. After all, hyping up China-related issues is a common method used by some politicians to increase their support during the election campaign.
No matter what Ishiba’s intention is, visiting Taiwan is a wrong demonstration and a red line for challenging China. Therefore, when China responded, it did not mention Shigeru Ishiba's name, but used the term Japanese politician. This also shows that China is very dissatisfied.China and Japan are important neighbors to each other. China will not comment on Japan's internal affairs. We also hope that Japan can be cautious in its words and deeds and not try to cross the red line. Otherwise, China will definitely implement severe countermeasures and take measures to defend its rights and interests.
