#Taiwan VP Bi-khim Hsiao went shopping at a 🇯🇵 store in #Taipei "to support Japanese seafood and Japanese goods 😻"
The hashtag #TaiwanJapanFriendship ( #台日友好 ) was used.
Among her purchases were #scallops advertised with a drawing of President Lai Ching-te, a nod to his #sushi lunch the other day.

Quite interesting guess from Arthur Ding, a professor at the NCCU.
But another guess: as Trump spoke to Takaichi - maybe his next stunt will be claiming "ending the war between China and Japan".

An overlooked part of Taiwan's colonial history is that the Latin script arrived long before any Chinese, brought by European missionaries during their brief colonial attempts, but adopted by some Indigenous languages for long after
"Taiwan is home to over 20 living languages, and many of them don’t require a single Chinese character. In fact, some of the most vibrant linguistic revival movements happening on the island right now rely largely on extended Latin alphabets," says 姜呈穎 of JustFont.

The Japanese PM did not do rhetorical adventurism over Taiwan, nor change Japan's stance on Taiwan. She stated the obvious, which is a blocus or a military invasion of Taiwan by China would impact Japan's national security (all while answering a question in Parliament, as suited in a democracy).
Xi Jinping has no tolerance for rhetorical adventurism from other countries on Taiwan. Relations between China and Japan may well get worse before they get better
