Fuji TV News Network (FNN) reported that Biden reiterated his commitment to military intervention in order to defend Taiwan in response to questions from the media at a joint press conference after the U.S.-Japan summit on the 23rd. The successive U.S. governments did not say whether they would defend Taiwan when China invaded Taiwan by force, and adopted “strategic ambiguity”, so Biden’s speech was accused of gaffe, but former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pointed out that Biden was not gaffe, but “said his ideas.”

U.S. President Biden once again stated at a joint press conference after the U.S.-Japan summit on the 23rd that if China invades Taiwan, the U.S. will intervene militarily. In this regard, Shinzo Abe said today (26) at a rally of the Liberal Democratic Party he led: “Some people are discussing whether Biden is gaffe, but the same speech, this is the third time Biden has spoken. Usually reporters The questions that may be asked are predicted before the meeting, so I think Biden should have said what he thinks.”

Abe also emphasized that the “strategic ambiguity” of the United States has not changed, but Biden said that he would do that (the US military protects Taiwan). When Biden held a summit meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on the 23rd, Kishida announced that Japan’s defense spending (defense spending) would increase by a considerable amount. Abe believes that “this is a great achievement.”

Regarding Japan’s defense spending, Abe pointed out that the defense spending in the initial budget for 2023 should include 6.5 trillion yen to 7 trillion yen (about NT$1.53 trillion to 1.65 trillion). The government’s cabinet meeting in early June will decide the basic policy of economic and financial operation and reform, and will demonstrate its determination to thoroughly protect people’s lives, property, territory, territorial waters, and airspace. It is a matter of course that Japan’s defense spending is guaranteed to be 2% of its gross domestic product (GDP).
