According to a report by Sankei News, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology approved social science textbooks, including history and geography for middle school, in March this year. The textbooks include content supporting communist ideology and system, notably stating that 'Taiwan is part of China.' This move is seen in the context of China's increasing coercion, Russia's ongoing aggression in Ukraine, and North Korea's missile launches disrupting international order and peace. The depiction of Taiwan in the textbooks as part of China could lead to misunderstandings among students, potentially reinforcing China's claim of 'One China' and aggravating tensions.
