Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sparked heated discussions this week after making remarks about potential military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Residents of Taiwan shared candid reactions with CGTN Stringer in Taipei, with one person stating: "Nobody likes war. In war, the people are the ones who really suffer." 💔
The comments come amid heightened regional tensions, with Beijing repeatedly emphasizing that Taiwan has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. Analysts warn the Prime Minister's statements could strain China-Japan relations, which are built on four key political documents recognizing this historical consensus. 🌏
While some residents expressed concern about possible economic impacts, others emphasized cross-strait stability. "We just want peaceful development and better livelihoods," said a street vendor interviewed near Taipei 101. The situation remains fluid as diplomatic channels work to address the remarks. 🔄
