Former Japanese prime minister Taro Aso visited former president Lee Teng-hui’s (李登輝) grave at a military cemetery in New Taipei City yesterday afternoon, shortly after arriving in Taiwan.

Aso was accompanied by members of his delegation, including Japanese lawmakers Keisuke Suzuki and Kenji Nakanishi, and Lee Teng-hui Foundation chairwoman Annie Lee (李安妮), Lee Teng-hui’s daughter.

Annie Lee thanked Aso for attending a public memorial for Lee Teng-hui at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan in August 2020 when he was Japanese deputy prime minister.

China is targeting projects to enhance public spaces in its “united front” tactics, a lawmaker said yesterday after New Taipei City-based cultural conservation group Am Kehnn Cultural Workshop (暗坑文化工作室) said that Beijing has conducted a covert campaign to infiltrate Taiwanese placemaking projects.

Taiwan’s placemaking scene is awash with Chinese money, Am Kehnn Cultural Workshop wrote on Facebook on Thursday, adding that almost every region in the nation was among the winners at a cross-strait construction and creation contest held by China’s Fujian Province.

US President Joe Biden yesterday vowed that US forces would defend Taiwan militarily in the event of a Chinese attack in his strongest statement to date on the issue.

Beijing is already “flirting with danger,” Biden said following talks with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, in which the pair agreed to monitor Chinese naval activity and joint Chinese-Russian exercises.
