"I tend to believe that Takaichi's actions were deliberate, and here's why: even before she made these remarks, her cabinet meetings had already extensively discussed how to revise or abandon the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles.' Therefore, it is evident that Takaichi is exploiting the false premise of 'a Taiwan contingency' to fabricate disputes between China and Japan. This is precisely why I assert her actions are intentional -- using Taiwan as a pawn and a tool."

"I believe that when Sanae Takaichi, stated in the National Diet that 'a Taiwan Strait contingency could constitute an existential crisis situation for Japan', her remarks were extremely reckless, inappropriate, and entirely unnecessary. From the perspective of many people in the Taiwan region, it appears that Sanae Takaichi is deliberately stirring up trouble. Her statements are to serve the interests of Japan's right-wing factions and militarism, while the potential consequences may ultimately be borne by the Taiwan region. Therefore, I believe a growing number of people in the Taiwan region will publicly express their dissatisfaction with such dangerous rhetoric from Sanae Takaichi.”

What people in the Taiwan region needs is stability. The people here need to make a living, and the youth need to have hope for the future. That's what truly matters."

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent erroneous remarks concerning Taiwan have sparked criticism from scholars and residents in the region, who accuse her of deliberately stirring up trouble and jeopardizing regional stability.
Professor Chiu Yi from Chinese Culture University in Taiwan, China, believes Takaichi is trying to create tensions with China.
"I tend to believe that Takaichi's actions were deliberate, and here's why: even before she made these remarks, her cabinet meetings had already extensively discussed how to revise or abandon the 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles.'

This is precisely why I assert her actions are intentional—using Taiwan as a pawn and a tool," he said.
Echoing this sentiment, Professor Yu Tzu-hsiang from the Shih Hsin University in Taiwan said Takaichi's statement that "a Taiwan Strait contingency could constitute an existential crisis situation for Japan" was provocative and rash.
