In a potential Taiwan crisis, Japan will likely play a role similar to Poland's in the Ukraine war because of geography and needs to prepare for such a scenario, a retired three-star lieutenant general in Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force told Nikkei Asia in an interview Thursday.
Koichiro Bansho said that if China launches a military operation to seize Taiwan, Japan is the only country that can serve as the gateway for the international community to provide supplies to the Taiwanese to defend themselves.
"The Philippines will likely not take on such a role, and Australia or Hawaii are too far," he said.
