Even though Japan continued diplomatic relations with Taiwan, Japan was able to conclude the fourth "non-official" trade agreement with the People's Republic of China on March of 1958. It was through this agreement, Japan hoped to increase the volume of trade with mainland China and thereby stimulate her domestic economy. Mainland China, on the other hand, considered this agreement as a good opportunity to transcend her private relation with Japan toward official recognition.Taiwan, which did not want to recognize any relation Japan had with mainland China, strongly opposed the provision in the memorundom attached to the agreement allowing the Chinese trade mission to fly its national flag in Japan. Therefore, Taiwan threatened Japan using various resources including prohibiting trade with Japan.The first purpose of this paper is to describe how the strained relationship between Japan and Taiwan was solved. The second is to analyze the decision making process in the Japanese government, especially focusing on how each minister, LDP dietman and bureaucrat acted.
