The tension in the Taiwan Strait has also made Japan's overseas Chinese in Taiwan. The Japanese parliament informed the Taiwan government to discuss how to evacuate once the People's Liberation Army takes action by force.
The news was revealed to Japanese MPs to Japanese media. The Japanese MP has begun discussions with the Taiwan government. If a force conflict occurs in the Taiwan Strait and the mainland takes action by force, how to evacuate about 20,000 Japanese citizens currently living in Taiwan.
Japanese Kyodo News reported that some Japanese MPs said that the Japanese parliament and the Taiwan government have agreed to discuss how to evacuate Japanese citizens in Taiwan and reach an agreement.
It is reported that the agreement was reached by a delegation of Japanese MPs when they visited Taiwan in August. Japanese MP Minor Kihara said that Japan has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan and cannot be directly contacted by the official, so the parliamentary delegation will act instead of the Japanese government.
htmlOn August 22, Representative Minor Kihara, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, who has been promoting Japan-Taiwan relations, visited Taiwan with the Japanese parliamentary Taiwan group "Japan-Chinese Parliamentary Members' Meeting". He was one of the members of the delegation.According to statistics from the Japanese Taiwan Exchange Association, a Japanese institution in Taiwan, there are about 20,000 Japanese citizens in Taiwan, including short-term stays.
In the past, when an emergency occurred in a certain country in the world, the Japanese government usually sent a self-defense force to assist in evacuation of Japanese citizens with planes. However, the Chinese government has always advocated that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and Japan cannot determine whether the evacuation plane of the Self-Defense Force is allowed to land in Taiwan if there is a war in the Taiwan Strait.
According to Kihara, while private jets and ships can be used for pre-war evacuation, Japanese MPs and senior Taiwanese officials have never held a comprehensive discussion on this.
Given that there is no diplomatic relationship, Japan and Taiwan cannot have official contact, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot conduct direct negotiations with Taiwan. Therefore, the Japanese parliament and enterprises will hold a closed-door meeting with Taiwan, with Taiwan's ministerial officials participating to discuss Taiwan's possible pre- and post-war evacuation plans.
It is reported that during Japanese MPs visiting Taiwan from August 22 to 24, Kihara met with Japanese and Chinese MPs’ Chairperson and Representative Keiji Koya, and met with Taiwan’s Su Zhenchang and Wu Zhaoxie. There is no detailed information on how to discuss.
Japan once occupied Taiwan, and there was a long period of Japanese occupation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Japan announced in 1972 that it had severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and established diplomatic relations with Beijing, recognizing a China. Since then, Japan and Taiwan have maintained a private-sector-led economic relationship, and have extensive exchanges among the people in the fields of education, art and sports.
Peosi After insisting on visiting Taiwan, the Taiwan Strait entered an unusual period, but the "strategic ambiguity" of the Biden administration in the United States has not changed. When Secretary of State Blinken expressed his statement on the situation in the Taiwan Strait, he also emphasized that "I hope that the differences between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can end peacefully, rather than resolved by coercive means or by force." However, most wise people believe that the place where conflict between the United States and China is most likely to occur today is Taiwan Strait .
U.S. political and diplomatic scholars Green and Termiji recently wrote an article in Foreign Affairs to analyze what impact will the possible U.S.-China conflict if Taiwan is captured or even established a PLA base.
In an article titled "The Consequences of Conquest: Why Indo-Pacific Power Depends on Taiwan", it pointed out that Taiwan ranks first among all the difficult problems that may trigger a hot war between the United States and China. Just as General MacArthur calls Taiwan the "never sunk aircraft carrier ", Taiwan is the gateway to Philippine Sea and is also a key place to defend Japan, the Philippines and South Korea from threats and attacks. But analysts believe that the problem may be that it is difficult to guarantee that the war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will not be a protracted war. The only thing that can be confirmed is that if Beijing takes over Taiwan, China's military status will also improve significantly.
There should actually be multiple options for solving the Taiwan issue. China has not yet given up on the path of peaceful resolution, but what is hotly discussed has become the only possibility of war.
