Japan's sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine are necessary, even if they squeeze energy supplies, because Tokyo one day could need allies to counter China in East Asia, said Taro Kono a former defence chief and ex-foreign minister.
TOKYO - Japan's sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine are necessary, even if they squeeze energy supplies, because Tokyo one day could need allies to counter China in East Asia, said Taro Kono a former defence chief and ex-foreign minister.
Taiwan, which Beijing consider a renegade province, lies only around 100 kms from the nearest Japanese island. It's capture by Beijing would also put Chinese forces within close to maritime trade routes that sustain Japan's economy. Kishida appears to have public backing for sanctions on Russia, although many people want the government to impose additional measures, according to an opinion poll published by public broadcaster NHK on Monday. Of 1,223 people it surveyed 42% agreed with the sanction with 40% wanting more.
