The PLA military plane routinely cruised around Taiwan, and Japanese politicians were anxious to hold the pot: This was to cooperate with Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine, and also falsely claimed to sanction China
Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, some Japanese right-wing politicians and "Taiwan independence" diehards on the island of Taiwan have begun to forcibly link the Ukrainian issue with the Taiwan issue, speculating that "the mainland will take over the 'armed reunification' of Taiwan" and "the mainland is cooperating with Russia." On the 24th, the routine entry of a PLA military plane into Taiwan's so-called "southwest airspace" was once again brought up by Japanese politicians to say something, and even the Australian defense minister was also mixed in.
According to Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" report, today, Masahisa Sato (pictureD1), president of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, went so far as to claim at a departmental meeting that the PLA military plane's entry into Taiwan's "southwest airspace" on 24 July was cooperating with Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine, and also called on Japan to have a strong sense of "parties" and always prepare countermeasures, including economic sanctions.
Sato Masahisa's remarks are really ridiculous; first, he forcibly contacted the routine operations of the PLA military plane, and his brain supplement ability is really first-rate; second, Japan is not a "party" at all in the Taiwan Strait issue; moreover, Japan intends to impose economic sanctions on China. Is he serious?
However, it is not only Masahisa Sato who is mad, Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton also linked the Russian-Ukrainian crisis to the situation in the Taiwan Strait, in an interview he claimed that Chinese mainland is using the situation in Russia and Ukraine to observe the reaction of all parties, in order to decide what kind of action to take against Taiwan, and also said that the West should unite to deal with China's "armed reunification." This is not the first time that Dutton has made a big fuss about the Taiwan issue, China's red line is in governance, the Taiwan Strait issue is China's internal affair, and any force that wants to intervene will completely fail. （bear）
