The Wall Street Journal says US President Donald Trump has advised Japan's Prime Minister Takaichi to tone down her support for Taiwan to avoid upsetting China. Professor Tsai Hsi-hsun of Tamkang University weighs in on what this might signal.
00:00So Japan's Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae has softened her rhetoric on Taiwan somewhat,
00:05saying she didn't mean to get specific, but she hasn't retracted her original statement.
00:10What significance do you see in that?
00:30So she might be softening her rhetoric around Taiwan, but she's not retracting her statement.
00:50Is that going to be enough to mollify Beijing?
00:52Or do you see tensions between China and Japan continuing to be high?
01:00Or is that the Chinese people have already faced this issue or not to be stopped?
01:08Because the Chinese people have actually felt the same threat to China.
01:14So it's just to have this opportunity to let the people be able to see it.
01:18And not like the past, the Chinese people have a little bit of a eye on the eye on the eye.
01:23The Chinese people have no idea how they have seen the same.
01:26What can Taiwan do to maximize its self-interest and make the best of the situation in this triangle of global powers and the friction between them?
01:56We don't want to be together, but what do we do? What do we do?
02:00We can always be able to communicate with our own position and support our troops.
