[旧金山讯] 2025年的国际局势动荡多变。台湾海峡局势持续升温，日本首相高市早苗在国会中明确提出：“台湾有事即日本有事”。此番表态不仅象征日本外交与安全政策的深刻转折，也成为民主世界关注的焦点。面对中共军事扩张、流氓外交与地区紧张局势，美国和日本在印太防务合作中愈趋紧密，而台湾的安全更成为全球民主国家必须面对的核心议题，也成为当今全球民主国家最关键的政治讯号之一。
面对中共的武力扩张、流氓外交与强硬恫吓，美国、日本与印太民主国家全面加强合作，台湾的安全，也从区域议题上升为世界民主国家必须共同面对的核心命题。
在此时刻，11月22日美西时间12点，中国民主党旧金山党部联合民主人士在中共旧金山领事馆前举行集会，公开宣示：“支持日本协防台湾，呼吁全球民主阵线共同制衡中共极权扩张。”
本稿将旧金山民主人士的集体判断、历史分析与价值主张加以整合呈现。
一、日本政策重大转折：一个民主国家的历史抉择
2025年11月，日本首相高市早苗在内阁会议中公开表示：若台海发生冲突，将可能启动“存亡危机事态”，让自卫队以集体自卫参与对台湾的防卫任务。此举象征日本在战后七十余年后，终于作出关乎地区安全的重大转身。促成这一转折的背景主要包括：
1. 中共不断升级对台威胁。军机绕台、灰色地带冲突、认知战、经济胁迫等事件接连发生。中共正企图以长期压迫改变现状，动摇台海稳定。
2. 日本走出战后状态，迈向负责任的民主国家。摆脱军国主义阴影后的日本，已在民主、法治及和平主义道路上走过七十余年；但中共扩张正迫使日本意识到，仅靠被动防卫已不足以保护自己。
3. 民主国家的印太再布局。美国、日本、澳大利亚、欧洲民主国家已形成新的安全结构。而台湾，是这条链条上不可取代的“自由节点”。日本的选择并非好战，而是民主国家在威权扩张面前的必然抉择。
二、台湾不是“内政问题”——是文明世界的界线
中国民主党旧金山党部在公开宣示中强调：“台湾问题不是主权争议，而是文明选择。不是族群冲突，而是制度对决。不是区域事件，而是全球安全的支点。”
台湾若被中共吞没，民主世界第一道防线将被突破，接下来将遭受更猛烈的威胁：国际秩序会动摇，海上航道会不稳，民主国家的战略安全将被迫退让，极权国家将获得更大空间扩张。
守住台湾，就是守住自由世界的未来。
三、发言人观点：旧金山民主人士的政治表达
以下为本次集会部分与会者的发言节选和核心观点：
高应芬：人民自决权，是民主世界的底线
中国民主党党员，长期参与旧金山民运行动，本次集会主持人高应芬女士强调：台湾以选票、言论自由、开放媒体证明：华人社会完全可以民主化。台海问题的本质，是制度选择问题，而不是民族，族类，土地问题。民主国家有责任保护台湾免受武力恫吓。高应芬指出：“守护台湾，就是守护每个渴望自由的中国人。”

缪青：台湾是第一岛链的支点，是文明与暴政的交锋点
中国民主党旧金山党部宣传部副部长，本次活动主要召集人。
他强调：台湾是自由世界在亚洲的核心支点，失守台湾等于打断全球民主链条。日本协防台湾不是挑衅，而是负责任的大国行为。中共的流氓外交、对外渗透、对内极权，是全球不稳定的根源。缪青呼吁：“民主国家必须拒绝向中共威胁下跪，必须集体抵制其流氓外交。”

陈森锋：从历史与道义看日本角色的正当性
中国民主党员陈森锋。他指出：“今天的日本是民主国家，而非战前帝国。”台海不是领土问题，而是自由与专制的生死对决。中共若侵台，就是对整个民主世界发动战争。陈森锋强调：“协防台湾是维护和平，而不是制造冲突。”

李树青：和平不是退让，是民主国家的共同防卫
中国民主党党员李树青说道：“今天站在一起，是为了表达明确立场：台海和平是亚太稳定的基础。”日本按照国际法，与盟友合作维护和平，是负责任的民主国家姿态。他提出三点信念：和平比对抗更能保证未来，伙伴合作比孤军奋战更安全，法治与规则才能有效阻止胁迫。
李树青呼吁：“支持日本，坚持和平原则，以国际合作保护台海安全。”

李凯：台湾让中共恐惧的不是土地，而是自由
中国民主党党员。他的发言强烈而直白：“台湾自古以来属于中国”是中共包装侵略的谎言。中共武统不是为了民族，而是为了摧毁华人民主社会。台湾让中共恐惧的，是自由选票、自由媒体、自由公民。“李凯喊出：“台湾越亮，中共越虚弱。捍卫台湾，就是捍卫文明。”

刘静涛：民主世界必须给台湾最坚定的支持
中国民主党党员，中国民主党旧金山党部弗里蒙特支部主任刘静涛的发言简短有力：“台湾是民主台湾，民主国家不可对中共的威胁保持沉默，即使一句恐吓，也必须得到民主世界的清晰回应”。刘静涛呼喊：“为民主争自由！为民主争自由！”

高俊影：守护台湾，四项支持
中国民主党党员，高俊影女士以口号式表达立场：
支持台湾保卫民主；
支持日本协防台湾，巩固第一岛链；
支持民主国家对抗极权扩张；
支持中国人民争取自由、摆脱暴政。
她特别强调：“台湾是民主前线，守护台湾就是人民在争取自由。”

四、守卫台湾，就是守卫未来。
旧金山的民主人士在此刻发声，并不是一场孤立的抗议，这是在全球威权扩张下，民主阵营的共同觉醒。在台湾承受压力、亚洲重新布局、极权主义不断伸张的时代，任何民主国家都无法再回避一个问题：你是站在自由一边，还是向极权退让？
守卫台湾，就是守卫文明；
守卫自由，就是守卫人类的未来。
集会后，参与者前往旧金山日本城，表达对日本政府与高市早苗首相坚定协防台湾立场的拥护和感激。
《在野党》将继续关注台湾局势、中国自由运动，以及亚太民主安全的整体发展。

Support for Japan’s Defense of Taiwan: A Shared Responsibility and Historical Choice for the Democratic World
San Francisco Pro-Democracy Community Issues a United Declaration
By Miao Qing,Reporter for Opposition Party
Edited by Li Jing Chief Editor: Luo Zhifei
Proofreader: Xiong Bian Translated by Peng Xiaomei
[San Francisco] The year 2025 has witnessed an increasingly volatile international landscape. Tensions in the Taiwan Strait continue to escalate. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated unequivocally in the National Diet: “A contingency in Taiwan is a contingency for Japan.” This declaration marks not only a profound shift in Japan’s foreign and security policy but also a pivotal moment drawing global democratic attention.
In the face of the CCP’s military expansion, rogue diplomacy, and regional coercion, the United States and Japan have tightened their security cooperation across the Indo-Pacific. Taiwan’s security has become a defining issue for all democratic nations—arguably the most consequential political signal in today’s world.
At this critical turning point, on November 22 at 12 PM PST, the China Democracy Party San Francisco Branch and pro-democracy activists held a demonstration in front of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, publicly declaring: “Support Japan’s defense of Taiwan. Call on the global democratic alliance to jointly counter the CCP’s authoritarian expansion.”
This report synthesizes the historical analysis, political judgment, and value positions expressed by the San Francisco pro-democracy community.
I. Japan’s Historic Policy Shift: A Democratic Nation’s Moment of Choice
In November 2025, Prime Minister Takaichi stated that if conflict erupts in the Taiwan Strait, Japan may invoke a “survival-threatening situation,” enabling the Self-Defense Forces to participate in collective defense of Taiwan. This represents Japan’s most significant strategic shift since World War II. The key factors include:
The CCP’s escalating threats toward Taiwan. Airspace incursions, gray-zone coercion, cognitive warfare, and economic intimidation seek to alter the status quo and undermine regional stability.
Japan’s transition from a postwar pacifist state to a responsible democratic powerAfter seven decades of democratic development, Japan recognizes that passive defense is no longer sufficient in the face of CCP expansionism.
Democratic nations’ Indo-Pacific restructuringThe US, Japan, Australia, and European democracies are forming a new security architecture. Taiwan is an irreplaceable “freedom node” within this network. Japan’s shift is not an act of aggression—it is a rational and inevitable decision in response to authoritarian expansion.
II. Taiwan Is Not an “Internal Affair”—It Is the Boundary Between Civilization and Authoritarianism
The China Democracy Party San Francisco Branch emphasized: “The Taiwan issue is not a sovereignty dispute—it is a civilizational choice. It is not an ethnic conflict—it is a confrontation of political systems. It is not a regional matter—it is a cornerstone of global security.”
If Taiwan falls to the CCP: The first line of defense for democracies collapses; Global order becomes destabilized; Maritime routes become vulnerable; Democratic nations are forced to retreat strategically; Authoritarian regimes gain momentum for expansion
Defending Taiwan is defending the future of the free world.
III. Voices from the Demonstration: Political Statements from San Francisco’s Pro-Democracy Activists
Below are key viewpoints expressed during the rally:
Gao Yingfen: The Right of Self-Determination Is the Bottom Line of the Democratic World
A long-time activist and event moderator, Gao emphasized:
“Taiwan has proven through elections, media freedom, and open society that democracy is fully achievable in Chinese communities. The essence of the Taiwan issue is the choice of political systems, not ethnicity or territory. Defending Taiwan is defending every Chinese person who longs for freedom.”

Miao Qing: Taiwan Is the Strategic Pivot of the First Island Chain
Deputy Director of Propaganda and main organizer of the event.
“Taiwan is the core anchor of the free world in Asia. Losing Taiwan would break the global democratic chain. Japan’s defense of Taiwan is not provocation—it is responsible leadership. The CCP’s rogue diplomacy, external infiltration, and internal authoritarianism are the root causes of global instability. Democracies must refuse to kneel to the CCP’s rogue diplomacy.”

Chen Senfeng: Japan’s Role Is Legitimate from Both History and Moral Responsibility
“Today’s Japan is a democratic nation—not the imperial state of the past. A CCP invasion of Taiwan would be an attack on the entire democratic world. Defending Taiwan is defending peace, not creating conflict.”
Chen Senfeng, Member of the China Democracy Party (Photographed by Miao Qing, Opposition Party)
Li Shuqing: Peace Is Not Surrender—It Is Collective Defense by Democracies
“Peace in the Taiwan Strait is the foundation of Asia-Pacific stability. Japan’s cooperation under international law reflects the responsibility of a democratic power. Partnership, not isolation, ensures real security.”
Li Shuqing, Member of the China Democracy Party (Photographed by Miao Qing, Opposition Party)
Li Kai: What the CCP Fears About Taiwan Is Not Land—It Is Freedom
“The CCP’s claim that ‘Taiwan has always been part of China’ is political propaganda for aggression. The CCP’s push for armed unification is not about the Chinese nation—it is about destroying the democratic society of the Chinese people. What terrifies Beijing is not territory—it is democracy, free media, and free citizens. ‘The brighter Taiwan shines, the weaker the CCP becomes.’”Li Kai, Member of the China Democracy Party (Photographed by Miao Qing, Opposition Party)
Liu Jingtao: The Democratic World Must Give Taiwan Its Strongest Support
Liu Jingtao, a member of the China Democracy Party and Director of the Fremont Chapter of the Party’s San Francisco Branch, delivered a brief yet powerful message:
“Taiwan is a democratic Taiwan. Democratic nations cannot remain silent in the face of the CCP’s threats. Even a single act of intimidation must receive a clear response from the democratic world.” Liu Jingtao shouted: “Fight for freedom in the name of democracy! Fight for freedom in the name of democracy!”

Gao Junying: Four Commitments to Protect Taiwan
Support Taiwan in defending democracy
Support Japan’s defense cooperation with Taiwan
Support democratic nations resisting authoritarian expansion
Support the Chinese people in their struggle for freedom
“Taiwan is the frontline of democracy. Defending Taiwan is defending the freedom of all people.”
Gao Junying, Member of the China Democracy Party (Photographed by Miao Qing, Opposition Party)
IV. Defending Taiwan Is Defending the Future
The San Francisco rally was not an isolated protest—it was part of a broader awakening among global democracies facing authoritarian expansion. As Taiwan withstands pressure, Asia reshuffles, and global authoritarianism rises, every democracy must answer one question: Do you stand with freedom? Or will you retreat before tyranny?
Defending Taiwan is defending civilization.Defending freedom is defending humanity’s future.
After the rally, participants marched to San Francisco’s Japantown to express gratitude toward the Japanese government and Prime Minister Takaichi for their commitment to Taiwan’s defense.
The Opposition Party will continue reporting on Taiwan affairs, China’s democracy movement, and the broader security landscape of the Indo-Pacific.
Participants in the rally included:Zhao Changqing, Miao Qing, Hu Pizheng, Liu Jingtao, Zhuang Fan, Li Shuqing, Chen Senfeng, He Cong, Gao Yingfen, Zhang Zuo, Wei Renxi, Zhang Shancheng, Lu Zhanqiang, Li Kai, Chen Huailuo, Wang Zhanshi, Gao Junying, Zhao Yu.(Names listed in no particular order.)
