Former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday (August 8) that a tougher security environment in the Taiwan Strait means Japan, the United States and others need to show strong resolve to come to Taiwan’s defence if it were attacked. Aso, who is the most senior Japanese political official to visit Taiwan since 1972, made the comments at the annual Ketagalan Forum, an event focused on regional security issues. Aso did not specify China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, as the aggressor, but said it was crucial for Japan, which is a neighbour of Taiwan, the U.S., and other counties to put a strong deterrent into action.
