社评：套上马甲也无法改变高市涉台言论的非法性

Group 1 - Japanese Prime Minister Kishi Sanae's recent comments on Taiwan suggest potential US-Japan joint action in the event of a crisis, indicating a provocative stance towards Taiwan and a challenge to post-war international order [1][2] - The comments reflect a strategy to bind the US-Japan alliance under the guise of fulfilling alliance obligations, while fundamentally seeking justification for Japan's military intervention in Taiwan [2][3] - The remarks have led to significant backlash, with a reported 45% decrease in Chinese tourists visiting Japan by December 2025, and a 40% drop in sales of duty-free goods, indicating direct economic impacts on Japan's tourism and manufacturing sectors [2] Group 2 - To navigate the current situation, Japan must return to a correct stance on Taiwan, ceasing to manipulate the issue for domestic political gain, which reflects a misguided historical perspective [3][4] - Japan's reliance on the US as a shield against criticism is flawed, as the legal framework of the US-Japan alliance cannot override the principles of national sovereignty outlined in the UN Charter [3][4] - Japan's interpretation of collective self-defense in relation to Taiwan represents a significant deviation from its pacifist constitution and could lead to severe consequences if provocations continue [4]
