 Shinzo Abe's speech about Chinese invasion of Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

Japanese long time prime minister Shinzo Abe delivered an important speech about Chinese invasion of Taiwan the other day. Chinese foreign minister's aide called Japanese ambassador , Hideo Shui, in Beijing to protest Abe's statement. Both Abe's speech and Shui's brief statement have created a heavy wave of international politic in regard to Taiwan that I believe is the most interesting development of Taiwan issue for a long time. I hear and read Abe's speech in Chinese translation and I wish I can read the original Japanese edition and I believe that is a very interesting article with his sincerity and good logic to maintain the world peace.

As I have described recently about Taiwan as well as Manchuria and Manchukuo on my blog. Both Taiwan and Manchuria were under Japanese rule before WWII, 1895-1945 for Taiwan; 1932-1945 for Manchuria. Just a few days ago, an You Tube program has reminded me that most of the Chinese coastal provinces were under Japanese rule as well, 1938-1945. As a matter of the fact, all Eastern Asia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Lao, Thailand, Singapore, Malaya, Burma, Indonesia, Philippines, even to the India border were all fallen to Japanese control. Eventually, Japan was surrendered. China has never been stronger than Japan in history. 

All politicians understand wars are not good for the peace; therefore, NATO has been established to prevent Germany from attacking the others in Europe. NATO and European Unions try to tell Putin of Russia not to invade Ukraine. Russia has plenty of land to rule likes China doesn't need to annex Taiwan to make it great. Taiwan has never been part of PRC.

It is true that Abe says when China attacks Taiwan just like attacking Japan because that Taiwan is so closed to Japan. Japan must have self defense. U.S. and Japan have a mutual defense treaty and both must response Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Does it scare off Xi of China? Only Xi can tell. He is very busy to be an emperor nowadays.

Abe is good at arithmetic that he figures it right that Taiwan has 25 years of democracy, since 1996. Before that was under Chiang Kai-sek's martial law and Nationalist Chinese rule neither free nor China.
