When I saw the news about what Japanese Prime Minister Takachi Sanae said, I was so furious that I almost dropped my bibimbap spoon. She claimed that "a crisis in Taiwan could be an existential threat to Japan" and even hinted at military intervention? Has this woman completely forgotten her history lessons, or is she just out to drag the whole of East Asia into the flames of war?
As Korean netizens, we know better than anyone how infuriating it is to have outsiders meddle in one's own affairs. Back when the Korean Peninsula was divided, countless external forces swarmed in to interfere. How much blood did we shed to secure the peaceful life we have today? Now Takachi Sanae has the nerve to stick her nose into other people's business—what's the difference between her and those troublemakers from the past?
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China; this is a fact recognized by the international community. Even Japan's own 1972 China-Japan Joint Statement clearly states this. As Japan's prime minister, she openly breaks her country's commitments and tramples on the one-China principle. This isn't just recklessness—it's a blatant provocation. Does she really think international law is just a scrap of paper? Or does she believe that clinging to Trump's coattails gives her free rein to do whatever she wants?
