On April 20, local time, Japan convened a plenary meeting of senators, and Yoshihide Suga issued a congressional report on his previous visit to the United States.

A Japanese congressman asked Yoshihide Suga: “Will Japan follow the US military strategy towards China and intervene in the Taiwan issue?” Yoshihide Suga responded and emphasized that although the joint statement mentioned Taiwan, Japan would not. There will be considerations of military involvement in the conflict in Taiwan.

I have to say that Japan turns its face faster than it turns a book. At this time, Taiwan is probably more panicked. The Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party, which “kneeled” at the sight of the United States and Japan, never thought that there would be today.

Japan’s Taiwan issue has reversed, fearing security threats

Some analysts pointed out that Japan’s “ambiguity” attitude on the Taiwan issue is because if it clearly states its position, it will pose a threat to Japan’s own security.

According to “Multidimensional News”, the joint statement of the US-Japan summit mentioned and clarified the Taiwan issue for the first time in 52 years. This is the second mention of the Taiwan issue since 1972 after the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between China and Japan.

In front of the “big brother” of the United States, the “little brother” of Japan followed “everything China must turn against” and declared that “it is expected that those involved can peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue through direct dialogue.” The United States’ high threat to China is naturally Japan’s consistent position. To “the stability and peace of the Taiwan Strait is of great significance.”

When asked why the Taiwan issue should be mentioned in the joint statement, Yoshihide Suga said that “this is taking into account the changes in the military balance between mainland China and Taiwan and other factors.”

Right now, when Japan was asked about “Japan can provide support to the US military no matter what the situation is,” Yoshihide Suga responded that “it is difficult to generalize.”

It is hard to imagine that Japan has to be “cautious” on the seesaw that balances China and the United States to avoid stepping on thunder.

Japanese analysts pointed out that Yoshihide Suga is in a predicament on the Taiwan issue. If he does not say anything, it may have a bad influence on the “Japan-US Alliance”. However, Yoshihide Suga must be clear to his own nationals at this time. Said that Japan will not go to war for Taiwan.

It can be seen that in this “U.S.-Japan summit”, the United States hopes that Japan can show a clear attitude to support “Taiwan independence”, but Yoshihide Suga often uses words such as “peace and stability” to express it. It seems that Japan I also know that China is not easy to mess with on the Taiwan issue.

Taiwan keeps provoking, the United States keeps arguing, and allies can hide if they can.

The current situation in Taiwan makes people worry when they look at it. The Taiwan authorities “reverse every time China”, “Taiwan independence” forces continue to provoke, and the United States does not forget to fan the flames on the other side of the ocean. The Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, which has been seeking the “protection” of the United States, has been “a slave-like” and has continued to please. However, the United States has also discovered that in the face of China’s strength, the United States has long been unable to dominate Taiwan’s destiny.

At present, the international situation is chaotic and the US “hegemony” status is at stake. The Biden administration is still reluctant to let go of the “pawn” of Taiwan.

The United States has been trying to pull its allies to accumulate energy, but the funny thing is that whether it is the United Kingdom, which loves to contribute to the flames, or the Japan, which is always standing at the feet of the United States, one silently turns and the other turns.

Obviously, the Biden administration will not act rashly when seeing such a situation. In the end, only the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party is incapable of “screaming.”

It has to be said that the Taiwan authorities are completely “asking for themselves”, and it is even more ridiculous to use the Taiwan military to compete with the mainland. Even after the U.S. deduced the mainland’s “invasion of Taiwan” scene recently, the “Red Army” representing the mainland won, and the “Blue Army” representing the US military was defeated many times. The Taiwan military even took a boxed meal every minute.

As far as the Biden administration is concerned, if it really “starts”, it will have to abandon Taiwan. It is not worthwhile to trigger a war because of Taiwan.

China will be unified

The mention of Taiwan in the US-Japan joint statement has already touched China’s red line.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country clearly pointed out that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. We demand that the United States and Japan take China’s concerns seriously, abide by the one-China principle, immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, and immediately stop harming China’s interests. China will take some necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

In the future, the two sides of the strait will be reunified, the conspiracy of the Tsai Ing-wen authorities will be smashed, and the American dream of dominating the world will come to an end. (Translated new)

Sheet South China Morning Post Taiwan announced on April 22 that it would protect its own security, after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said that Tokyo would not engage in the military if Taiwan was attacked. Ms. Au Giang An (Joanne Ou) – spokesperson for Taiwan External Relations – said on April 22: “Self-protection of security is an unshakeable task for us and Taiwan will take on your own responsibility to protect people’s homes and protect this island ”.

Photo: TAIWAN NEWS Earlier, speaking at the National Assembly on April 20, Prime Minister Suga emphasized that although the US-Japan Joint Declaration, issued after the summit between Mr. Suga and US President Joe Biden, mentioned the issue. But Japanese forces will not engage in any military situation around the island. In response to a question from an opposition politician in the National Assembly on April 20 about the details of Japan’s commitment to Taiwan, Mr. Suga stated “no military participation is expected”. According to the SCMP Analysts say Japan’s constitution will not allow the military to enter the war in the event that China tries to capture Taiwan by force, but Tokyo can provide the United States with logistical and rear-end support. In the statement, Mr. Biden and Mr. Suga called for “peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait”. This is the first time the US and Japan have mentioned the Taiwan issue in a joint statement in more than 50 years. The two sides also said they would counter China’s “threat” in the Asia-Pacific region. The US-Japan statement has aroused strong protests from China, when it warned that Tokyo and Washington should stay away from “internal affairs” related to Taiwan. Over the weekend, the Chinese military’s Eastern Zone, which oversees the Taiwan Strait, deployed dozens of H-6K strategic bombers to participate in a nine-hour live-fire drill. , according to the China Central Television (CCTV) . Previously, the Taiwan External Relations Agency on April 22 said the US-Japan defense alliance is the foundation of peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. The agency also said the reference in the joint statement reflects the two countries’ strong consensus on security in the Taiwan Strait and Indo-Pacific. “We welcome the international community’s concern about trans-strait peace and stability … and it is our responsibility to protect our security,” the statement said. “Taiwan will continue to liaise and cooperate closely with the US, Japan and other like-minded countries in maintaining stability across the strait as well as maintaining security and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region. – Pacific “- stated clearly. China always considers Taiwan its territory and does not rule out the possibility of using force to unify. The Taiwan-strait relations have been strained since Thai Anh Van, who opposed the “one China” policy, became the island’s leader in 2016.

The statement came days after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stressed that the Japanese military would not engage in any military situation around Taiwan. The Japanese leader asserted that the mention of Taiwan in his joint statement with the United States did not make assumptions about Japanese military involvement.

(Photo: EPA-EFE) After meeting at the White House last week, Mr. Suga and President Biden issued a joint statement, which outlined “the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait”. Both leaders encouraged the peaceful settlement of cross-strait Taiwan issues. In a statement released on April 22, Taiwan’s diplomatic mission said the US-Japan defense alliance is the foundation for peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and is referenced in a joint statement. reflecting the two countries’ strong consensus on security in the Taiwan Strait and Indo-Pacific. The statement also noted Mr. Suga’s earlier assertion that the dispute in the Taiwan Strait should be settled by peaceful means. “We welcome the international community’s concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait… and it is our responsibility to protect the security of the island. Taiwan will continue to liaise and cooperate closely with the US, Japan and like-minded countries in maintaining stability in the strait as well as maintaining security and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region – Pacific”, the statement clearly stated. China has always asserted that Taiwan is an inseparable territory and does not rule out the possibility of using force to unify the island. The Chinese military’s time increased military operations near Taiwan as tensions between Washington and Beijing escalated.

An H-6K off Taiwan in 2016.

On March 26, 20 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLAAF) fighters departed from mainland China and approached Taiwan on two axes.

While most of Taiwan’s defense exploration aircraft were in the southwestern part of the island, four H-6K cruise missile bombers and one Y-8 support aircraft continued to fly towards Southeast through the Ba Si Strait separating Taiwan from the Philippines and then turns north, to an area in Taiwan’s eastern international airspace.

In other words, PLAAF bombers have surrounded Taiwan – a move that flyers Global Times China’s considered capable of deciding during wartime. “From that position, the PLA could not only attack military facilities on the eastern side of the island, but block the island completely.”

But it is far from concluded that the PLAAF can easily do this in combat. First, enemies – Taiwanese and American forces with missile batteries, air defense fighters and missile warships – must be taken into account.

Second, it is not clear whether PLAAF crews possess the skills and support necessary to reliably and safely fly thousands of kilometers across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Land combat was difficult. Air combat on the ocean is even more difficult. On the water, navigation, communication, and coordination – not to mention effective combat with an experienced, high-tech enemy – have been a big deal.

“Although the PLAAF is increasing the number of flights at sea, they acknowledge the challenges associated with training to fly in the far seas,” authors Kenneth Allen and Cristina Garafola wrote in a survey. newly funded by the US Air Force in terms of the history and organization of the Chinese Air Force.

Allen and Garafola cited a 2017 interview. Chinese pilots from the PLAAF’s Southern Command have discussed some of the issues their air force is trying to solve to improve their capabilities. combat ability in “far sea”.

Communication stories at the top of the list. “Due to limited communication measures during long-distance training, comprehensive support measures – including regular radars, command and air communications aircraft, naval ships and satellites communication – needs to be better integrated, ”writes Allen and Garafola.

They continued, “Compared to flying on land, training at sea is more likely to deviate from the designed flight path.” High-difficulty subjects related to offshore training pose new challenges to the technical and tactical abilities of many pilots. These subjects include attacking sea targets, aerial combat against different types of aircraft on land and water, aerial refueling and combat with enemy navies.

In particular, on physical challenges, flight times longer than four hours often lead to pilot fatigue.

Weather conditions during marine training are unpredictable – and gathering weather related data remains a challenge.

Long-distance search and rescue operations remain a challenging task for the PLAAF due to limited search and rescue equipment, low night vision and complex weather conditions. trash.

Long-distance flight training continues to challenge PLAAF’s maintenance assistance capabilities. Many incidents related to maritime cannot just take the option on land but apply it.

The PLAAF knows that they have water problems. “The high seas drills will become part of regular training,” said Dinh Lai Hang, a PLAAF lieutenant general, in 2017.

The PLAAF is “gradually expanding its long-distance training operations. Weapons, equipment, communications systems, supplies and aviation search and rescue skills have to keep up with mission requirements, ”added General Dinh.

The fact that the Chinese air force safely conducted sky missions near Taiwan in March could be a hint that its sea flight training efforts are beginning to succeed.

Of course, performing long-range, above-water missions in peacetime was one thing. Performing that task while someone is shooting at you is completely different.
