Japan turns away from post-WWII pacifism as China threat grows

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is a man on a mission.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, he has imposed sanctions on Moscow, agreed to pursue a nuclear-free world with the Pope and taken a diplomatic tour of Southeast Asia and Europe to rally world leaders to protect democracy.

But it's not just democracy in Ukraine that he's trying to protect - Kishida sees parallels between Russia's actions in Europe and China's expansion in the Indo-Pacific, a region stretching from America's Pacific coastline to the Indian Ocean.

Hilarious to me that the same people arguing #Taiwan is a part of #China are citing the "one China policy" of the very same US State Dept that these same people say is constantly lying about #Russia and #Ukraine. Taiwan was never part of mainland China. Taiwan is its own nation, with its own currency, elections, economy, currency, trade relationships, energy supply, culture, language and embassies / consulates. I know this personally. I lived there for two years. Anyone claiming Taiwan is part of China is laughably ignorant and yet somehow fully aligned with the lying US State Dept. The United Kingdom has a much stronger claim to ownership of the United States of America than China's claim to Taiwan.
