This is because Fukuda was a disciple of the brothers Sato Eisaku and Kishi Nobusuke, and Sato and Kishi were close supporters of Chiang Kai-shek.

Fukuda has been a close friend of the Japanese pro-Taiwan faction after Chiang Kai-shek's defeat in Taiwan.

The result of the "Triangle Daifuku" battle was that Tanaka Kakuei won.

After Jiang learned about it, he was deeply regretful and sent someone to visit Futian's house to express his condolences.

4 years later, in January 1976, Fukuda made a comeback and finally became the Prime Minister of Japan.

However, by this time, Chiang Kai-shek had been dead for several months, and Chiang Ching-kuo took charge of the political situation.

The friendship treaty was concluded in August of that year.

On October 23, Deng Xiaoping visited Japan and exchanged letters of ratification with Fukuda, and the treaty officially came into effect .
