Japan’s Foreign Ministry warned on Tuesday it would make necessary preparations to support Taiwan if the Chinese regime persists in its military intimidation of the island.

When asked by a reporter how Japan’s government views Beijing’s record-breaking flyovers inside Taiwanese airspace in recent weeks, Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu said he wants the military tensions “resolved peacefully between the two parties through direct talks.”
