安倍元首相、中国を再び批判　国際フォーラムで講演―台湾

　【台北時事】安倍晋三元首相は１４日、台湾や米国、日本のシンクタンクなどが台北で開催した国際フォーラムでビデオ講演し、「中国のように巨大な経済体が、軍事における冒険を追い求める場合、控えめに言っても自殺的になる」と強調した。台湾統一を目標に掲げ、軍事的威圧を強める中国を再び批判した。
　安倍氏は、「中国に対しては、領土拡張を追い求めてはならないと強く言うべきだ。隣国を挑発したり、しばしば追い詰めたりする行いは控えるべきだと言うべきだ」と発言。台湾や沖縄県の尖閣諸島、南シナ海の周辺で軍事活動を活発化させている中国を強くけん制した。その上で、日米台などの民主主義陣営の結束を呼び掛けた。（2021/12/14-11:37）

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday criticized China again over the country beefing up its military coercion against self-ruled Taiwan.
   "An adventure in military affairs, if pursued by such a huge economy like China's, could be suicidal to say the least," Abe said in a video lecture at an international forum held in Taipei by think tanks from Japan, Taiwan and the United States, and others.
   Stressing the need to strongly tell Beijing that it should not pursue territorial expansion, Abe added that China should refrain from provoking and cornering its neighbors.
   Through these remarks, the former prime minister apparently warned against China's stepped-up military activities near Taiwan, the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan, and the South China Sea. The Senkakus are claimed by China, which calls them Diaoyu.
   Abe also called for solidarity among the democratic camp consisting of Japan, Taiwan, the United States and others.
