"If the four political documents between China and Japan are taken into consideration, her remarks are absolutely groundless. The documents confirm that Taiwan is a part of China, so the Taiwan question is China's internal affairs. I think her erroneous remarks show that she completely ignores historical facts, and doesn't understand the historical context at all."

"What was the basis for Japan's post-war revival? That is not going to war and not investing a large amount of funds in armaments. It is precisely based on such a principle that we have come this far. And if Japan changes this, what kind of society will it become? If Japan ignores history and only thinks about problems from the present perspective, it will be in great danger. That would show Asia that Japan has not truly reflected on its history."

Storyline


Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks on China's Taiwan region show her disregard of historical facts and ignorance of the historical context, said a Japanese lawyer.

Citing the four political documents between China and Japan, Masatoshi Uchida, the lawyer, said that the Taiwan question is entirely China's internal affairs.

"If the four political documents between China and Japan are taken into consideration, her remarks are absolutely groundless. The documents confirm that Taiwan is a part of China, so the Taiwan question is China's internal affairs. I think her erroneous remarks show that she completely ignores historical facts, and doesn't understand the historical context at all," he said.

Noting that Japan's post-war development could not have been achieved without the path of peace, Uchida said that it will be dangerous to Japan if the government deviates from the principle, ignores the lessons of its war history, and continues to push for military expansion.
