Japanese scholar Ogasawara said in a Facebook post on the 18th that the headlines of Japanese newspapers are “Taiwan”, not only the front page, but also a large report on the inside pages, all around Taiwan, “I personally have not seen Taiwan occupy such a large page”, showing that the Japan-US joint statement includes Taiwan The importance of Taiwan.
The Central News Agency reported that Ogasawara attached a photo of the front page of four Japanese newspapers, including the Yomiuri Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun, all reported on the front page of the Japan-US joint statement mentioning Taiwan.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga led a delegation to the U.S. on the 15th and met with U.S. President Joe Biden on the 16th for talks between Japanese and U.S. leaders, which lasted about two and a half hours; the talks were the first face-to-face meetings between the two sides, and a joint statement was issued after the meeting.
The joint statement on Taiwan, which China (the Chinese Communist Party) has positioned as a “core interest,” states that while emphasizing the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it promotes the peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues.
This is the first time that Taiwan has been included in a joint statement between Japan and the United States since the meeting between then Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato and U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1969, and the first time since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in 1972.
