Kishida’s Dilemma: Continuing Abe’s Taiwan Policy or Warming Up to China?
The assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has sent a shockwave to the world and Japanese politics. What will the Japan-Taiwan relationship look like after Abe’s passing? Will this effect Asian politics and the economy? With a leadership vacuum within the LDP, how will the Kishida administration balance ties with the U.S. and China? Will they lean towards China in revitalizing Japan’s economy? In this episode, we have invited Philip Yang, National Taiwan University Taiwan Security Research Center Founder to share with us the latest developments in Taiwan-Japan relations. Alongside Philip is Japan-graduate Tsai Hsi-hsun, Director of Tamkang University’s Graduate Institute of Japanese Political and Economic Studies to analyze key developments in Kishida’s new era! We have also interviewed Abe biographer Tobias Harris and Japan long-time expert Riley Walters, as well as Japanese military expert Kosuke Takahashi on their thoughts.
