FAQ about KONOTaro
Q. Is Kono Taro"pro-China" or "Politician who panders to China"
A. It is nothing more than a malicious rumor spread online during the 2021 LDP leadership election.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense under the Abe Shinzo administration, I raised alarms about China’s military expansion and the growing debt trap through the Belt and Road Initiative.
I dedicated myself to deepening the Japan-U.S. alliance and expanding the QUAD (Japan, U.S., Australia, and India) to realize the vision of a "Free and Open Indo-Pacific."
