Although, if the Chinese Communist Party tries to take Taiwan, Japan has promised to defend its island neighbor. According to Japan\u2019s defense minister on Thursday, a free Taiwan is integral to maintaining peace and stability in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Most energy imports to Japan go around Taiwan, leaving it in Japan\u2019s best interest to keep Taiwan free of China\u2019s control. However, China isn\u2019t only posturing against Taiwan, but also a Japanese island chain in Taiwan Straits.<\/p>\n<p>The CCP has claimed the islands for themselves, but Japan hasn\u2019t recognized the claims and said they would push back against China if the claims were acted on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Senkaku Islands are an integral part of Japanese sovereign territory, both according to international law and looking historically,\u201d said Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi. \u201cThere is no territorial dispute relating to the Senkaku Islands between Japan and other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2523750\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2523750\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2523750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/senkaku-526x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"This aerial shot taken on September 15, 2010 shows the disputed islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China in the East China Sea.
