台湾有事で集団的自衛権行使も　麻生氏

　麻生太郎副総理兼財務相は５日、東京都内で講演し、中国が台湾に侵攻した場合、安全保障関連法が定める「存立危機事態」に認定し、限定的な集団的自衛権を行使することもあり得るとの認識を示した。存立危機事態は、日本と密接な関係にある他国が攻撃され日本の存立が脅かされる明白な危険がある事態で、集団的自衛権を行使する際の要件の一つ。
　麻生氏は「（台湾で）大きな問題が起きると、存立危機事態に関係してきても全くおかしくない。そうなると、日米で一緒に台湾を防衛しなければいけない」と述べた。（2021/07/05-18:14）

Japanese Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso said Monday that his country could exercise its right to collective self-defense in a limited way if China invades Taiwan.
   If a major problem occurs in Taiwan, this could be recognized as a threat to Japan, Aso said.
   "In such a case, Japan and the United States will have to work together to defend Taiwan," he said in a speech in Tokyo.
   Referring to recent remarks by Chinese President Xi Jinping that realizing reunification with Taiwan is a historic mission, Aso said the situation is becoming extremely tough.
   Instead of attacking Taiwan militarily outright, China could instigate people there to riots and then suppress them, Aso said.
