On the blue-colored poster of HRP, it’s written in traditional Chinese, “Japan will never abandon Taiwan. Now is the time to establish a Japan-Taiwan alliance.”

 
In the conference, Enatsu stated, “It was a wrongful act, from the spirit of “Bushido”, for Japanto one-sidedly sever its diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
We, Japan, should take a step forward to strengthen our relations with Taiwan and establish a mutual alliance.” “The current relationship between Japan and Taiwan is vulnerable. It is based on exchange between the people of the two nations, not on law. Therefore, we have drafted a Taiwan Relations Act.”

HRP considers the Japan-Taiwan tie as an important factor in protecting Asian freedom from the hegemonism of the Chinese Communist Party. HRP has established the “Happiness Realization Party Japan-Taiwan Local Assembly Members Group” (Chairperson: Kazumi Furukawa, a city council member of Koga, Ibaraki Prefecture) and has been deepening its relations with Taiwan. This time, HRP has drafted the “Taiwan Relations Act” to further strengthen its relationship with Taiwan. HRP will expand its activity to legislate the Act.
