CHINA-JAPAN: FOUR IMPORTANT JAPANESE LEGISLATORS VISIT TAIWAN

A 4-member group of Japanese Legislators including heavyweight Liberal Democratic Party
(LDP) parliamentarians Kono Taro and Ishiba Shigeru and other lesser legislators were in
Taipei City on July 28-29. Kono Taro and Ishiba Shigeru met President Tsai Ing-wen on July
29 afternoon. Ishiba and his delegation on security had a discussion with Premier Su Tsengchang and several Cabinet members, including the ministers for defense, economic affairs, and
mainland China affairs.
(Comment: Both Kono and Ishiba are political leaders of national stature and Kono was almost elected LDP president and prime minister last September. Interestingly, the Chinese have not reacted to the visit.)
