The ruling parties of Taiwan and Japan will host their first ever regional security dialogue on Friday -- a meeting, already condemned by Beijing, that comes amid growing Chinese aggression in the region.
Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progress Party is sending Lo Chih-cheng and Tsai Shih-ying, members of the parliamentary foreign affairs and defense committees, respectively, and also key figures for the DPP in those fields. Japan will be represented by Masahisa Sato, a lawmaker in charge of foreign affairs for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and Taku Otsuka, who heads the party's panel on defense issues.
Taiwan's DPP is scheduled to host a brief news conference following the online meeting.
Sato told the Financial Times this week that deeper dialogue was needed because Taiwan's future would have "a serious impact" on Japan's security and economy. "That is how important we feel the situation in Taiwan is at the moment."

How things have changed in just eight months.
They should have included S. Korea and *maybe* Philippines in these meetings.
also they need to include Australia.
Taiwan and Japan need to arm themselves with publicly announced nuclear weapons.
Make Red China’s planned invasions of Taiwan, Japan and South
Korea a glow in the dark event ibstead of a conventional butchers exercise.
If I was Taiwan I would be obtaining nukes to destroy the ChiCom invasion force.
Biden will just shrug after it happens or do worse like he has done in Afghanistan
.
Both these ruling parties will be gone in their respective next elections. And then these countries will cut deals with the CCP. But hey, no mean tweets am I right.
Yes they should, but time is not on the side of Taiwan. Japan sees that their fate is tied to Taiwan’s. Australia is in such turmoil right now that they might not be in a position to act swiftly.
Duarte & the Philippines seem to think that they can bargain with the Chinese dragon in the hopes that they won’t be eaten. I expect China will be moving into that nice fortified airbase that we left at Bagram. Duarte will probably dangle some basing rights at Clark AFB & Subic Naval Station. That would probably molify the CCP while they are digesting Taiwan.
Japan could make Hello Kitty nukes in a few months, with some Sailor Moon and Gundam bombs as well.
Especially now that their former ally has gone soft and unreliable.
Australia too. Wow, you’re right!
Put oatmeal-for-brains in the White House and this is what you get, tout de suite.
