Why It Matters

2025年11月7日,日本首相高市早苗在國會指出,中國對台動武或封鎖可能構成日本的「存亡危機事態」。此舉打破了日本長期在安全議題上的模糊態度。

Font size

2025年11月7日,日本首相高市早苗在國會發表挺台言論,至今已過了一年。

昨天是11月7日。

一年前(2025),日本首相高市早苗在國會表示,如果中國對台灣發動武力攻擊或海上封鎖,可能構成日本的「存亡危機事態」,日本在符合條件下可以行使集體自衛權。

這句話引起中國強烈反彈。北京透過外交和經濟手段施壓,要求撤回發言。然而,一年過去了,高市首相始終沒有退讓。

我認為,她的發言至少帶來了三個重要變化。

第一,改變了台日關係。從友好鄰邦,走向「安全共同體」。

過去幾十年,台日關係主要建立在經濟、文化、觀光與民間交流之上。雙方情誼深厚,但對安全問題始終保持模糊。

安倍晉三前首相卸任後,曾提出「台灣有事就是日本有事」。高市更進一步,以現任首相身分在國會發言,把台灣安全與日本的集體自衛權連結起來。

這並不代表日本承諾出兵保衛台灣,卻讓台日關係從情感上的友好,進入共同安全利益的新階段。

第二,改變了日本的國家定位。從戰後的謹慎退讓,走向主動承擔國際責任。

二戰結束後,日本受到戰敗歷史與和平憲法的約束,在國際安全問題上長期採取謹慎、克制,甚至被批評為綏靖的態度。尤其在面對中國時,日本經常顧慮經濟利益,不願在敏感問題上明確表態。

高市首相的發言,象徵這種思維正在轉變。

日本不再只想避免捲入衝突,也開始正視維護區域和平應承擔的責任。國際社會眼中的日本,正從經濟大國,走向更積極參與安全事務的國家。

第三,改變了亞洲的戰略格局。台灣問題不再只是兩岸問題。

北京長期主張台灣問題是中國內政,外國不得介入。但高市指出了一個現實:如果台灣發生戰爭,直接威脅到日本的生存與安全,日本怎麼可能置身事外?

這使台海安全與日美同盟、印太戰略更加緊密地連結,也讓中國在考慮對台動武時,必須正視日本可能採取的行動。

過去,日本擔心因為台灣問題而得罪中國。現在,日本開始思考:如果因為害怕得罪中國,而不敢正視台灣的安全,最後受到威脅的,會不會就是日本自己?

高市首相的發言,不只是對台灣的表態,更象徵日本正在重新定位自己在亞洲與世界的角色。
