With a Sushi Lunch, Taiwan President Shows Support for Japan in China Dispute

TAIPEI—Taiwan President Lai Ching-te posted pictures on social media of himself eating Japanese-sourced sushi on Thursday to show his support for Japan in a bitter and worsening diplomatic dispute with China.

According to two government officials in Tokyo, Beijing has indicated it will halt Japanese seafood imports following a rise in since Japan’s new prime minister suggested Tokyo could intervene militarily if the Chinese communist regime attacked Taiwan.

“What are you eating? Now is perhaps a good time to eat Japanese food,” the president said in the post on his Facebook and Instagram accounts showing him sitting on a sofa holding up chopsticks and a plate of sushi.

“It fully shows the firm friendship between Taiwan and Japan,” he said of the sushi, which included ingredients from Taiwan such as cuttlefish as well as yellowtail from Kagoshima in Japan and scallops from the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

中國槓上日本  臺灣總統吃壽司相挺

11/20，在日本與中國的外交爭端越演越烈的情況下，臺灣總統賴清德於社群媒體上發布自己享用日本壽司的照片支持日本。

據兩位東京政府官員透露，儘管日本海鮮進口中國數量遞增，但自從日本新首相暗示如果中共攻臺，東京可能以軍事干預後，北京方面已表示將暫停進口。

總統賴清德在臉書和IG帳號上發布照片寫道：「你們在吃什麼呀？現在或許是享用日本料理的好時機。」照片中，他坐在沙發上，手拿筷子與一盤壽司。

賴講到壽司時表示：「這充分展現臺灣與日本間的堅固友誼。」壽司的食材包括臺灣產的花枝、日本鹿兒島產的鰤魚以及北海道產的干貝。
