According to Britain's “Financial Times” quoting several senior US officials on the 7th, Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae did not receive public support from the US as expected after making erroneous remarks about Taiwan, which made the Japanese government feel frustrated and panicked. On November 7, Sanae Takaichi claimed that if mainland China used force against Taiwan, it might constitute an “existential crisis situation” for Japan, implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Takaichi Sanae's move sparked anger on the Chinese side, and the Chinese side immediately made serious negotiations and strong protests. The report said that while Japan is facing strong pressure from China, the US has not publicly claimed support for Japan. In November, US Ambassador to Japan George Glass only generically stated that “the US government supports Takaichi Sanae,” and no other public support for Japan was expressed. On the contrary, according to reports from the US “Wall Street Journal” and Japan's “Weekly Wenchun” magazine, US President Trump asked Sanae Takaichi to restrain his remarks against Taiwan, and the wording was quite harsh. “It seems that he also said something equivalent to 'don't meddle in the Taiwan issue'.” According to the Financial Times, the Japanese government is very frustrated and disappointed by America's “indifference.” An anonymous US diplomat revealed that Japan's ambassador to the US, Yamada Shigeo, has asked the US to increase its open support for Japan. However, the analysis of several senior US figures revealed a very negative signal for Japan.
