最近一段时间，新任日本首相高市早苗关于台湾问题的言论在国际社会掀起了轩然大波。台湾问题是中国内政早就是国际共识，也是日本政府对华的基本政 治承诺，为何高市一上任就突破了底线？背后折射出日本政坛怎样的危险转向？又将把中日关系带向何方？ 11月7日，日本新任首相高市早苗口出狂言，在日本众议院预算委员会会议这样一个正式场合下，作为一国首相，在回答议员提问时竟公然表示："台湾有 事"可能是日本行使集体自卫权的"存亡危机事态"。言外之意是，日本可能会以武力介入台海。高市早苗上台还不到一个月，这番言论瞬间让她成为东亚地 缘政治的焦点。 中国社会科学院日本研究所所长 杨伯江：在野党和执政党双方都可以借用这个平台向对方发起政治上的进攻，这次日本领导人的发言，应该说开了一个非 常恶劣的先例，第一次把这个"存亡危机事态"应用于中国的内政问题，也就是台湾问题上，这一点是中方所完全无法接受的。 "存亡危机事态"，是日本前首相安倍晋三在十年前，强行通过"新安保法"时炮制的一个法律概念。该法规定，即使日本没有遭到直接攻击，但若美国等密切 相关国家遭武力攻击进而威胁日本国家存亡时，自卫队便可行使集体自卫权。但具体标准是什么，一直语焉不详。 ...
