Regarding Japan's Okinawa County Governor Tamaki Danny's refusal to accept that "Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs", Nakayama Yasuhide pointed out in an interview with the media before the meeting that Japan's national defense power belongs to the central government, and no matter what the local leaders say, it will not have any impact.

The media asked that the House of Representatives of the Japanese Constitutional Democratic Party asked Kishida to promise not to support Taiwan independence, and to push Taiwan as the main reason for China's military invasion of Taiwan.

Yasuhide Nakayama said that Japan is a democratic and free country, and the speeches of many political parties cannot represent the ruling party or the government. Everyone has freedom, but it does not affect government decision-making.

Zhongshan Taixiu emphasized that he believes that Taiwan has the conditions of a country, and the calculation of population also has its own calculation method. In addition, there are land and people, which are the basic elements of a country. "If Taiwan can continue to maintain a democratic and free system, there will be It is very possible to become a country recognized by Japan one day."

Yasuhide Nakayama said that China has used various methods to pressure Japan and warned against further relations with Taiwan, but Japan will not be affected in this regard.

China has always had ambitions for the South China Sea and Japan’s Nansei Islands. It has not only increased its overall defense budget, but also strengthened its defense of Okinawa, Japan. Japan has also been increasing its defense budget since the Shinzo Abe regime, and is very wary of China.

The media also asked about the possibility that the Ukrainian-Russian war prompted China to invade Taiwan.

Zhongshan Taixiu believes that the Ukrainian-Russian War does not necessarily reflect that China will invade Taiwan in the same way, which depends on various conditions.

The United States is the most powerful force in the camp of democracy and freedom in the world, and Japan will also work together to maintain the security of the Taiwan Strait. It is very important for democratic countries in the world to protect Taiwan and prevent Taiwan from becoming an international orphan.
