'The peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits is critical to the security of Japan as well as the region,' a Japanese official told Newsweek.
Japan cut official ties with Taiwan in favor of mainland China half a century ago in 1972, the same year that Washington and Beijing signed the first of three joint communiques that would ultimately lead the U.S. to do the same seven years later. Both Washington and Tokyo maintain informal relations with Taipei, however, angering Beijing, which continues to claim Taiwan as its own and has threatened reunification by force if diplomacy did not work.
And while Japan, like most U.S. allies, has avoided speaking directly on Pelosi's controversial travel to Taiwan on Tuesday, the first trip of its kind for a House of Representatives speaker in 25 years, the country did join the rest of the G7, which includes Canada, the, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the U.S., in condemning China's military response.
