[Global Network Comprehensive Report] Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen met with Japanese Representatives Keiji Koya on the 14th and said that she hopes that the "Japan-China Parliamentary Committee Meeting" where she serves as president can continue to help deepen "Taiwan-Japan relations" and serve as Taiwan's "international backing." Tsai Ing-wen's statement has attracted sarcasm from netizens on the island. Some people say that Tsai Ing-wen is a dwarf when she sees the Japanese, "and is flattering the Japanese again."

According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" report on December 14, Tsai Ing-wen met Kei and her party on the same day, and claimed that she believed that the "Japan-Chinese Parliamentary Committee Meeting" was very concerned about the results of Taiwan's "nine-in-one" election and "referendum".
In Taiwan's "nine-in-one" election ended at the end of last month, a "referendum" for banning food imports in the nuclear disaster area of Fukushima, Japan, was passed, triggering a rebound from Japan, and Japan also said it intends to file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO). Tsai Ing-wen said when she met with the Hanya that she hoped that the result of the "referendum" would not affect the so-called "close cooperative relationship with Japan."
Tsai Ing-wen also called Keiji Koya "an important good friend" in Taiwan, and claimed that she hoped that he could lead the "Japanese-Chinese Parliamentary Committee Meeting" to continue to assist in deepening the so-called "Taiwan-Japan relations" and to be Taiwan's "international backing".
Regarding Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with Keiji Haya this time, Taiwan's "Central News Agency" reported that the itinerary was not made public, but Tsai's Office released a message after the meeting. However, when the news was announced, Tsai Ing-wen's statements attracted satirization from netizens on the island. Some people bluntly said that Tsai Ing-wen was flattering the Japanese again, and there was no cure.
Some people also mocked Tsai Ing-wen for saying, "There is (Japan) your home." Some people even questioned whether it is the fault of the people to ban the import of food in the Fukushima nuclear disaster area in Japan? Some people also said that the farmers on the island were suffering and there was a problem with the control of imported agricultural products by the Taiwan authorities. "Tsai Ing-wen has not yet realized it!"
This time Tsai Ing-wen and Keiji Haya meet are not the first time that Taiwanese authorities officials have made similar statements recently. Tse Changting, the Taiwan authorities' "representative to Japan", said on the 12th that if Taiwan loses to Japan in the lawsuit, it will violate WTO rules. Any case will be unfavorable to Taiwan in the future. "It will be more difficult for others (Japan) to support us." However, his statement was also sarcastic, "It's too obvious to make a profit" and "It's really a traitor to the DPP."
