Taiwan Crisis: The “Real Threat” Japan’s Diet Has Finally Spoken About
Japan’s political landscape shifted decisively when Prime Minister Takaichi addressed the Taiwan contingency in the National Diet.
What had long been whispered as a distant geopolitical risk suddenly became an issue of national survival.
Behind the scenes, China’s military activity, diplomatic pressure, and economic retaliation are accelerating—despite Japanese media barely reporting any of it.
Below is the full English translation of the Japanese article, faithfully rendered.
■ China’s Large-Scale Military Exercises Are Already Underway — and Japanese Media Stay Silent
While Japan debates the matter, China has already moved several steps ahead.
Beijing is conducting high-intensity military exercises around Taiwan and the East China Sea—drills widely interpreted as “invasion rehearsal patterns.”
These include:
- Mass fighter incursions
- Naval encirclement
- Missile positioning along the southeast coast
- Electronic warfare training
- Cyber probing directed at Taiwan
Despite the scale and frequency, major Japanese media hardly report these developments, leaving citizens unaware of how tense the region has become.
■ Osaka’s Chinese Consulate Targets Prime Minister Takaichi on Social Media
A diplomatic shock came when the Chinese Consulate-General in Osaka issued a public SNS statement criticizing Prime Minister Takaichi’s stance on Taiwan.
This was no minor incident.
A senior Chinese diplomat openly condemning Japan’s head of government is an extremely unusual act—
a move typically used to prepare domestic justification before escalating pressure.
From that moment, Japan–China relations deteriorated rapidly.
■ China Responds with Travel Bans and Import Restrictions on Japan
Following the SNS incident, China initiated measurable retaliation:
- Travel bans and restrictions for Chinese citizens visiting Japan
- Import controls and tightened inspections on Japanese products
- Regulatory pressure on Japanese corporations operating in China
This pattern mirrors previous Chinese coercive actions taken against Australia and South Korea.
Japan is now entering the same phase—covert economic pressure applied before overt confrontation.
■ Diet Statement Confirms: “A Taiwan Emergency = A Japan Emergency”
The Diet session made explicit what security experts have warned for years.
Any conflict involving Taiwan automatically draws Japan into the frontline.
Reasons include:
- U.S. Forces Japan bases are essential for Taiwan’s defense
- China lists Okinawa bases among priority first-strike targets
- Japan’s energy and trade rely on sea lanes passing Taiwan
- A blockade would cripple Japan’s economy within weeks
Japan has now acknowledged the unavoidable truth:
If Taiwan falls, Japan’s national security and economy collapse with it.
■ The Crisis Has Already Begun — Even Without a Shot Fired
No invasion has occurred—yet。
But the “pre-war sequence” is already in progress:
- Cyberattacks
- Disinformation operations
- Trade pressure
- Diplomatic provocation
- Military encirclement
- Strategic resource manipulation
- Media suppression
These steps match multiple classified invasion simulations.
Japan now stands at the beginning of a historic geopolitical shift.
Conclusion
The Diet’s acknowledgment marks the moment when Taiwan contingency planning transformed from theory into state policy.
What unfolds next affects not only Taiwan—
but Japan’s security, economy, and daily life.
Next time—
we follow another fragment of truth, side by side.
I will return to the story again.
