Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has openly declared that any Chinese attack on Taiwan would constitute a direct threat to Japan’s survival—and that Tokyo would be prepared to join military action to repel it.
The statement marks the strongest linkage ever made by a sitting Japanese leader between Taiwan’s fate and Japan’s own national security, instantly escalating tensions with Beijing.
During a parliamentary session earlier this month, Takaichi described a hypothetical Chinese naval blockade or invasion of Taiwan as a “survival-threatening situation.”
This phrasing invokes the right to collective self-defense according to the 2015 security legislation. Therefore, indirectly implying that Tokyo could deploy its Self-Defense Forces (SDF) in response to Chinese aggression against the self-ruled island state of Taiwan.
