Recently, a number of Japanese lawmakers arrived in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands, known in Taiwan as Diaoyutai Islands, for so-called inspections, a move that sparked an outcry from China. China has made it clear that the Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory, and the actions of the Japanese parliamentarians are undoubtedly a challenge to China's sovereignty. On the Taiwan side, Ma Ying-jeou has emphasized in his expositions many times that the Taiwan region has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, but so far the Taiwan authorities have not shown any signs in this incident.
When Lee Teng-hui was in office, he never advocated that Diaoyu Dao or Diaoyu Tai belong to the Taiwan region, but Ma Ying-jeou's doctoral dissertation at Harvard University held that Diaoyu Dao or Diaoyu Tai belong to the Taiwan region is indisputable. The three parties of "China, Japan and Taiwan" have a huge dispute over the Diaoyu Dao and the Diaoyu Dao issue, and they have been circling in the same place until now.
The actions of the members of the Japanese Diet at this time have strong political motives and performance intentions. The incident occurred after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to the United States, and the formation of an unconventional alliance among the Philippines, the United States, and Japan, which led to immediate action and clear intentions. They took the initiative to provoke and tried to provoke incidents. In this regard, this marks an important sign of the beginning of the rise of Japanese militarism or its right-wing forces.
This is also what Fumio Kishida secretly supports, because such an action is not an ordinary action, and there is no need to choose this time at all. Especially at this time, Blinken and Yellen have visited China one after another, why do they come here in such a busy season? The sea area is vast, why do they have to cause trouble over the Diaoyu Islands? In a nutshell, this is a related plot that they have carefully planned. From the Singapore meeting, Fumio Kishida's visit to the United States, and the "US-Japan-Philippines" alliance, to Yellen, Blinken, and other anti-China actions, this series of incidents should be the result of consultations between the United States and Japan. Therefore, with regard to the Diaoyu Islands and related issues, we should regard the incident caused by the Japanese parliamentarians as an episode in the whole process, or to some extent, they are trying to stir up waves here and create trouble for themselves on the basis of the differences between "China and Japan".
The issue of the Diaoyu Islands is undoubtedly an extremely sensitive issue between China and Japan. Against this background, the choice to take such action at this time is undoubtedly a deliberate provocation. Historically, China and Japan have had many disputes over the Diaoyu Islands. The series of actions by the United States, Japan and the Philippines in the South China Sea, especially on the Taiwan issue, show a clear point in time, and some of the actions of Japanese parliamentarians are clearly provocative. Chinese officials have expressed strong protests against this. However, compared with the past Ma Ying-jeou administration, the Taiwan side seems to have taken a blind eye to the issue.
Now that Tsai Ing-wen is about to step down, whether it is the Tsai Ing-wen administration or the Lai Ching-te administration, on the issue of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, they will probably maintain the attitude of Lee Teng-hui when he was in power. Their attitude of completely giving up is also a sad thing for the people in the Taiwan region.
