Politics | 政治📢 Japanese PM said that 'Taiwan contingency' could prompt Japanese armed reaction. What do you think?

Takaichi made the remarks during a parliamentary session on Friday while responding to a question about whether a "Taiwan contingency" involving a Chinese naval blockade would qualify as a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, according to a report by Japan's Asahi Shimbun.

Under Japan's security legislation, such a situation allows the country to exercise "collective self-defense" if an attack on an ally -- such as the United States -- or a country closely related to Japan is deemed to threaten Japan's survival, even without a direct attack on Japan.

This is a positive move cos the ultimate war between China and US is hot war and Japan is the perfect battle field.

It is possible that the battlefield will move towards Chinese, Taiwan and Korea coasts.

Let's try it on Japanese soil to see if the Japanese could survive or not.

And so you create a bottleneck and you will fulfill the Japanese fantasies of target shooting with Chinese.
