00:21to report about the recent protest against the Prime Minister of Japan,
00:26where the Japanese citizens, for the third time in just a few weeks,
00:32gathered outside the Prime Minister's official residence,

00:53and Takashi resigned.
00:56While chanting slogans to halt military expansion and missile deployment.

01:10that might contradict Japanese commitment to the peace,
01:15enlightened in, signed in 1947 Constitution.
01:20and this prohibits country from recording to war and military force to resolve international disputes.
01:31It's important to remember that according to the United Nations and Japan's own official positions,
01:39Taiwan is considered part of China.
01:43Therefore, any statement that implies that the possibility of foreign military intervention in the region violates the principle of state sovereignty and international law,
01:58and reopens and also reopens historical wounds from the Japanese occupation and war committed in the China during the Second World War,
02:11where the Japanese Empire exterminated more than 35 million Chinese civilians.
