Brainfart moment. Takaichi also same. Mau lawan China also keep it in heart la, who the heck leaks out war plans before the war even happen? Doesn't make sense. Now China knows Japan will interfere for sure and plan accordingly.

Don't think so. Shinzo Abe also have similar stance but he never say it out loud jer. Takaichi is probably the second world leader who explicitly state that they will go against China should a war break out, other than Biden. Past Japan PMs all maintain silence on this. From China POV, cat is out of the bag already. Even if Takachi change stance or she is replaced by friendlier PM, China will always reserve a response against Japan should hostilities with Taiwan happen.

I didn't know this. Thanks for correction.

It's the same thing la. What's the difference? It has always been One China.
