This Monday morning President Lai Ching-te awarded an Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon to Japanese House of Representatives Member Furuya Keiji for his outstanding contributions towards deepening Taiwan–Japan relations. Lai also said he looks forward to working with Japan in the future and having the support of Furuya, who is head of the Japan-ROC Diet Members’ Consultative Council. Together, Lai said, the two countries will help one another prosper while contributing towards fostering peace, stability, and economic development in the Indo-Pacific.

During his speech, Furuya expressed his gratitude to Lai. The Japanese lawmaker also shared how China sanctioned him back in April for his many visits to Taiwan. China’s punishment included freezing his assets in China as well as banning him from entering the country. Furuya said the sanctions will have no effect on him, as these coercive tactics are part of China’s playbook. For this reason, he believes all countries having shared values of democracy, rule of law, and human rights should strengthen their cooperation.
