Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in advance of warning to China that Tokyo and Washington would not be alert if Beijing attacked Taiwan was a message to President XI Jinping to reduce his disputes in Taipei.
Speaking almost in the forum organized by a Taiwan Tank think on Wednesday, Abe said: “Armed invasion of Taiwan will be a big danger for Japan. Taiwan’s emergency is a Japanese emergency, and therefore an emergency for the Japanese-US alliance. People in Beijing , President XI Jinping in particular, should not have a misunderstanding in recognizing this. “Abe is the biggest chief of the Liberal Democratic Party in power and remains a very influential figure in the party and the nation of Island.
The ABE PM statement came when Japan had decided to improve and expand its cruising missiles to achieve objects of more than 1000 kilometers from the current capabilities of 100-200 km. Developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, missiles will be deployed in the second half of this decade with multi-spectrum capabilities. Basically, the Japanese plan is to prevent competition for increasing missile development in the Asia Pacific region.
Given the Japanese heritage in Japan, China and South Korea will be nervous about the plan to develop this missile but the reality is that Beijing in hyper-aggressive mode in the region. It has mobilized medium distance ballistic missiles that can target any city in Japan and US bases in Guam. Chinese propaganda media has been named Nick-named killer of this missile ship and Guam Killer.
While the US has explained that it will take time (not determined) action if China uses the power to change the status of Taiwan, Biden administration, assisted by the US Congress, is considering a plan to spread the ballistic medium-range missile network on the first island chain that connects Okinawa (which Has a US basis) to Taiwan and the Philippines.
In the light above, Shinzo Abe’s statement should not be considered mild because it made it proved that Tokyo would spill its pacific posture (immortalized in the article nine of their constitutions) if China continues to collect its hegemonistic agenda in the Asia Pacific in the Asia Pacific as well as to the Indian sub-continent.
Just as PLA has increased the number of medium-range missiles to as high as 82 towards the enemy of Asia-Pacific, he has also deployed long-distance missiles in Tibet to suppress India and subdue Bhutan’s tiny Himalayan Kingdom. China has begun to build airbase at Burang County, right in the north of Lipu-Lekh Pass, and only the time problems when military planes and drones will be deployed at the new base. Already, PLA has deployed two S-400 air defense systems against India in Tibet and three systems to handle the possibility of a US-Japanese threat on the edge of the East.
Some Chinese observers believe that Beijing will be more aggressive to Taiwan after the February 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing because there is no games to boycott from participating countries like us and Japan in the worst scenario. The situation at the Indian-China border in Ladakh was no different from Beijing continuing the synicization of the Tibetan and Xinjiang agenda and twisting the Himalayan highlands to be a fort. The senkaku island chain which is contested only 100 km from Taiwan and Burang Airport is only 400 km from Delhi. The front two prevention can force China to leave the path that fights as a detrimental action can rotate into global conflicts.
