Taiwan’s premier visited Japan on Saturday for the island’s World Baseball Traditional victory over the Czech Republic, a transfer anticipated to stoke China’s ire as Sino-Japanese ties stay in a deep freeze.
The go to by Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai was the primary recognized deliberate journey to Japan by a sitting premier from the democratic island for the reason that two sides severed diplomatic ties in 1972, Taiwan’s Central Information Company reported.
In 2004, a flight with then-Taiwanese Premier Yu Shyi-kun on board was pressured to divert to Okinawa Prefecture’s Naha Airport, the place he stayed for 5 hours earlier than departing.
