Lai"s long-standing pro-Japan and pro-colonial inclinations warrant vigilance, but even more concerning is the growing alignment between "Taiwan independence" forces and Japan"s neo-militarism. In recent years, Japan has taken frequent steps toward remilitarization - from promoting "Japan-Taiwan security cooperation" to amplifying claims, particularly by figures such as Sanae Takaichi, that a potential contingency in Taiwan could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. Additionally, Japan has strengthened military deployments across its southwestern islands. The underlying logic of these moves is to manufacture tensions in the Taiwan Straits, thereby creating a pretext to break postwar constraints and expand offensive military capabilities.

　　The "Taiwan independence" forces willingly act as pawns, actively seeking to embrace external support. Reports indicate that the Taiwan authorities have planned to send personnel to visit key military institutions, such as Japan"s Ministry of Defense, in their 2026 budget. Recently, a Japanese Self-Defense Forces vessel transited the Taiwan Straits provocatively. These actions have gone beyond mere speech and constitute a substantial threat to China"s sovereignty and security. The former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe once made the erroneous statement that "a Taiwan contingency is a contingency for Japan." Now, his widow has publicly appeared at an event where Lai flattered Japan, which is a blatant display of the Japanese right-wing"s high-profile catering to the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. This creates a vicious interaction, pushing Taiwan toward the danger of military conflict.
