双边关系僵冷，倭国拒撤涉台妄言。四月十七日，倭遣驱逐舰过航台海，意在示威刷脸。
高氏此举，非仅为示于两岸、献媚其主，更欲惑其国内右翼，为修宪之图谋聚势。
今全球目光皆为美以伊战事所引，修宪之图恐遭漠视，故以过航台海之举制造话题，博人眼球。其知难而退无可能，亦无退意，执意为之。
Bilateral relations have turned cold and stalemate, as Japan refuses to retract its absurd remarks on Taiwan. On April 17, Japan sent a destroyer to sail through the Taiwan Strait, aiming to gain visibility.
This move by Ms. Takashima is not only meant to be seen by both sides of the Taiwan Strait and to curry favor with its master, but also to incite the right-wing forces in its country, gathering momentum for its constitutional revision plot.
