On Tuesday, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi told The Mainichi Shimbun that Japan would not be able to remove itself from developments in Taiwan, the stability of which is important to Japan's security and linked to the peace and stability of the international community.

The intensive Taiwan-related discussions also included remarks by LDP leadership contender Fumio Kishida on the same day. He told The Wall Street Journal that Taiwan was at the "front line of the clash between authoritarianism and democracy."

"We cannot respond except by cooperating with our ally, the U.S. It's important to conduct simulations for this," he said.

Japan's hatred toward China morally dirty: Global Times editorial - Global Times

www.globaltimes.cn

Japan cannot strategically confront China by itself, and does not have the ability to make the Taiwan question "Japan's business." Whatever they say on the Taiwan question, their goal is to win support from the US, just like the DPP authorities in Taiwan island did.

China will have to face Japan, a country in decline, for a long time. At the same time, we must bear clearly in mind that Japan is no longer the biggest obstacle to China's rejuvenation, nor is it the top threat to China's national security.

We are facing such a Japan: It is a US ally who constantly seeks global attention in the changing times while willfully provoking China. How to properly deal with it has become a long-term subject for China.

The US has been engaging in phrase mongering, hoping that the "competition" between China and the US will not evolve into a "conflict."
We have to tell them clearly with our actions that "competition" with the Chinese mainland on the Taiwan question is bound to turn into a serious conflict, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver.

PLA jets will eventually patrol over Taiwan: Global Times editorial - Global Times

www.globaltimes.cn

Given these facts the Chinese mainland has to take fundamental measures,
engaging in a resolute struggle so that to stop the situation across the Taiwan Straits from deteriorating,
deter the DPP authority and its supporters, and firmly seize the strategic initiative of the regional situation.

Sending PLA fighter jets over the island of Taiwan is a step we must take.
The move will pose a fundamental warning to the Taiwan authorities and bring about reconstruction of the situation across the Taiwan Straits.
It will be a clear declaration of China's sovereignty over Taiwan island, and create unprecedented conditions for us to further implement this sovereignty.

The "airspace" over the Taiwan island belongs to the airspace of China.
The so-called middle line of the Taiwan Straits has never been recognized by the Chinese mainland.
Therefore, there is sufficient legal basis for the PLA fighter jets to fly over the island.

As long as the mainland's determination to conduct such a patrol is unwavering, if Taiwan fires,
it would mean that the Chinese mainland will launch a destructive retaliation.
Even a war to liberate the Taiwan island will start.

The mainland fighter jets' flight over the Taiwan island must be backed by large-scale and overwhelming military preparedness.
Fighters flying over the Taiwan Straits is only a part of the Chinese mainland's determination to reset the situation across the Straits.
This will be a showdown that gives the DPP authority two choices:
either accept the patrol and refrain from the extreme anti-mainland line of colluding with the US and Japan,
or start a war by firing at military aircraft of the Chinese mainland and face the consequence of being destroyed and eliminated by the PLA.
