China condemns Abe Shinzo for remarks on Taiwan

China blasted former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo on Wednesday, after he warned about the consequences of attacking Taiwan. Speaking virtually at a Taipei forum, Abe said that neither Japan nor the U.S. would stand by if China were to invade Taiwan. After his address, China’s foreign ministry summoned Japan’s ambassador in Beijing to lodge stern representations. At a press conference, a Chinese spokesman said that anyone who challenges Beijing’s bottom line “will inevitably be met with bloodshed.” Abe Shinzo (Dec. 1) Former Japan PM A Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency, and therefore an emergency for the Japan-U.S. alliance. It was this statement by Abe that triggered an outcry from Beijing. Wang Wenbin Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman On the issue of Taiwan, Japan’s former prime minister is talking nonsense and flailing his arms about. He’s making absurd suggestions about China’s internal affairs. Anyone who dares to tread again on the path of militarism, and challenge the Chinese people’s bottom line will inevitably be met with bloodshed. China’s protest didn’t end there. Following Abe’s virtual address at a Taipei forum, China’s Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, summoned Japanese ambassador to China Tarumi Hideo. China’s CCTV blasted Japan, even bringing up the Sino-Japanese wars in the process. With tensions at fever pitch between China and Japan, and China and Taiwan, the U.S. is closely monitoring the Indo-Pacific. Speaking to a Washington-based think tank on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth identified three potential sources of conflict in the region. Christine Wormuth U.S. Secretary of the Army Japan, for example, is worried about the Senkakus. We have a treaty with Japan. There’s obviously been quite a lot of discussion about China’s very aggressive actions right now toward Taiwan, with the various violations of their ADIZ. So that is something I think that the department thinks about, and then, you know, there’s unfortunately all sorts of possibilities for misunderstandings or miscalculations in the South China Sea Area. Wormuth says that the U.S.’ most important task ahead is to prevent the outbreak of a war in the Taiwan Strait. Christine Wormuth U.S. Secretary of the Army The best strategy is to make sure that our deterrent posture is sufficiently strong, that President Xi, you know, every day to the extent that he might think about trying to forcibly reunify with Taiwan, will decide that today is not the day to do that. As China ramps up its military harassment of Taiwan, international support for the island is growing in tandem.
