Former Japan SDF chief Iwasaki appointed adviser to Taiwan cabinet

china should stop interfering in Taiwan's and Japan's affairs.

It's none of china's business.

Baby China can learn to be quiet.

This is a matter for free Taiwan and Japan. Iwasaki's appointment solidifies the co-operation between Japan and Taiwan. He can give very knowledgeable insights as to how the two nations can work together to defend free Taiwan from the CCP.

China can just zip it. None of their business.

This looks like a Mike Pompeo and the Nippon Steel failed endeavor.

Had the Republican of China officers not been trafficking opium, they would not have wasted the good will of American aid and lost the war to the Communists.

The Chinese equivalent of Mexican drug cartels is what Taiwan was.

How sad does it make you feel that Taiwan is better in every single quality of life compared to the mainland today?

Great news. More collaboration with Taiwan is always welcome.

The two countries can learn a lot from each other, so I hope Iwasaki will also learn as well as advise. I'd like to see Japan learn from Taiwan's digital democracy and transparency efforts, and its socially progressive policies, in particular.

triggering a rebuke from China

If you're being rebuked by China, that usually means you're doing the right thing.

Isabelle bad news, Trump do.not care Taiwan,like Americans do.not care about the lives of foreigner under threat,as long as they are not the prey

Always good to have a provincial enthusiast for the 11-9 Dash Line!

Good for Taiwan, good for Japan, good for all countries that want peace and stability in the region. Bad for China.

Good for China with the DPP now showing its true colors actively collaborating with military officials of the former colonialists. This will not end well for Lai's (pronounced lie) DPP crew.

The former colonialists were the Empire of Japan. Which ceased to exist 80 years ago. Taiwan is seeking good string relations with Japan because they share democratic ideals and are facing a threatening China.

If Taiwan is "collaborating" with anyone it's the United States which has supported the Republic of China for some 112 years. And will continue to do so.

Let’s hope so. Trump’s a loose cannon. If you want his auto pen to write a check to Taiwan, you must convince Elon that it is in the best interest of Tesla. Then follow the money.
