TOKYO, April 10 (Reuters) - Japan has been following China's military drills around Taiwan consistently and "with great interest", a top government spokesperson said on Monday. "The importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is not only important for the security of Japan, but also for the stability of the international community as a whole," Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters. China began three-day drills around Taiwan on Saturday in response to President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
