Japanese poll: 80% of people oppose participating in the war for "Taiwan's troubles"

China News Service, October 13 (Yanxintai) Many mainstream media on the island recently quoted the results of a poll in Japan that showed that up to 80% of the Japanese people opposed participating in the war for the so-called "Taiwan troubles."

Taiwan's "China Times" quoted Taiwan's Tamkang University scholar Chen Yifan as saying that the Japanese people still generally support "non-war". Even though Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae put forward the so-called "Taiwan trouble" theory at the end of last year, the Japanese people clearly said that it is "none of our business."

In November last year, Sanae Takaichi publicly made remarks in the Japanese Diet that "something happened in Taiwan" might constitute an "existential crisis" for Japan, in an attempt to intervene in the situation across the Taiwan Strait with force, and has refused to withdraw so far.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning once said that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks related to Taiwan seriously violated the spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, undermined the political foundation of China-Japan relations, and challenged the post-war international order. China firmly opposes this.

According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", former Japanese Foreign Minister and President of the Association for the Promotion of International Trade Takeshi Iwaya told the media after his visit to China in September that China still has a tough attitude towards Sanae Takaichi's so-called "Taiwan has trouble" theory, saying that the problem should be "solved by those who created the problem."

During the 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum held in mid-September, former Japanese Prime Minister and Chairman of the Japan East Asia Community Research Institute Yukio Hatoyama publicly stated that Takaichi Sanae should retract his previous erroneous remarks related to Taiwan and show in an absolute and clear way that Japan adheres to the one-China principle.

In addition, the "Annual Survey on Cross-Strait Relations" poll released not long ago on the island also showed that 67% of Taiwanese people support promoting the expansion of tourist exchanges across the Taiwan Strait, and 62% support the expansion of cross-Strait non-governmental exchanges.

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once responded that facts have proven that the need for peace, development, exchanges, and cooperation is the mainstream public opinion in Taiwanese society and the collective consensus of all walks of life on the island.
