PM Shinzo Abe

Following the remark of former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe on Taiwan, China sent a summon to Japan's ambassador in Beijing for an ''emergency meeting'' on December 1. Reportedly, Abe said his country and the United States couldn't stand by if China attacked Taiwan. Japan's chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno also said, ''There are people in Japan who have such opinion and Japan cannot accept China's one-sided view.''
