In a recent interview with CGTN, Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, offered a critical analysis of Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi’s recent remarks, calling them “very serious and dangerous threats” against China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Gao points out that Takaichi’s stance fundamentally violates commitments and princlples in three norms: historical commitments, political pacts, and domestic law. He details that her remarks constitute a breach of Japan’s unconditional surrender terms in 1945 and the one-China principle agreed upon during the 1971 normalization of relations. Her attempt to treat Taiwan as independent is illegal under international law.

Gao notes that Takaichi’s threat to dispatch Japanese forces to Taiwan is a direct violation of the Japanese Constitution, which prohibits sending military personnel abroad for combat missions. He points out that such actions risk invoking the UN Charter’s “enemy state clause,” potentially authorizing military action against Japan if it is deemed a threat to China.
