China and Japan have intensified their war of words over various issues ranging from Taiwan to issues related to cyber security.
As per Japanese media reports, the draft of Japan’s new cyber security strategy for the first time has indications that China is conducting cyber-attacks to steal information from military-related and high-tech companies. On the matter of Taiwan, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso said Tokyo and Washington should jointly defend Taiwan if it is attacked by the Chinese military.
According to Japanese media reports, Aso has signalled that Tokyo would consider a Chinese invasion of Taiwan an existential threat to its security, allowing Japan to help defend the self-ruled island with the United States.
Reacting angrily to Aso’s comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said such remarks are extremely wrong and dangerous and runs counter to the One-China policy under which Beijing asserts that the estranged island of Taiwan is part of the Chinese mainland.
