concern over the situation in the Taiwan Strait, after two Chinese Air Force planes crossed the median line of the waterway separating Taiwan and China over the weekend.

“The government of Japan believes that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is extremely important to the region and the world,” Suga said. [FULL STORY]
