It must be gratifying for the Taiwanese to be relegated down by their former colonial masters….

About as much as the Indian delegation at Eliz II's funeral in London.
"UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has expressed gratitude for the representation by Indian President Droupadi Murmu at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, saying it was really noticed"

It's great and quite reasonable to invite Taiwanese officials to the state funeral. Japan-Taiwan is a special bilateral relation.
Fighto!
Good. Free Taiwan has every right to pay their respects in the same manner as every nation at the Funeral.
It must be remembered also how incredibly popular PM Abe was among the Taiwanese.
Since when have Communist China not been enraged by anything Japan does? Who cares about them anyway.

and at about ¥ 1.6B for the funeral……..that comes out to a bit over ¥370,000 per person.
what are they each getting? MacBooks and an iPhone as participation gifts?

Wrong. The UN doesn't recongnize Taiwan as a nation because it has declared independence and sovereugnty, and has not applied for UN membership.
Wrong again. Taiwan has been owned by the Dutch, Spain, China (Qing Dynasty) before it became a Japanese colony.
