Recently, Japan’s relatively balanced foreign policy between China and the United States has changed. In April this year, Japan and the United States mentioned Taiwan for the first time in a joint statement at the summit of heads of state after half a century. Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Taro Aso stated in a speech in Tokyo today (5) that if China infringes and attacks Taiwan, Japan may exercise its limited collective self-defense rights in accordance with relevant laws and regulations on security protection. Taro Aso stated: The United States and Japan must defend Taiwan together.”
