Now, less than half a year before the official election day of the US election, it can be said that the battle between the candidates of the two parties in the United States will become more and more anxious. Given the tempers of the two presidential candidates, Biden and Trump could burst into strange remarks at any moment. Recently, Biden said another sentence that offended several countries, saying that Japan, Russia, India and other countries are experiencing economic development difficulties because "they are xenophobic, they don't want immigrants." Biden said this to express that the United States needs immigration, and the American people should not oppose immigration. He just wanted to give an example to counter Trump's immigration policy.
When Biden said these words, he was obviously a little anxious, and accidentally let Japan lie down, and the Japanese government had to come out to respond to this remark. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi responded to Biden's remarks, saying that Biden's remarks were "regrettable" and that such remarks were not based on an accurate understanding of Japan's immigration policy. But Japan still feels that Biden is not trying to damage relations between the United States and Japan, and he cited this example just to explain the important role that immigrants play in driving economic growth in the United States.
The words spoken by the Japanese official are full of language art, on the one hand, he does not dare to offend the United States, and on the other hand, he does not want others to misunderstand Japan's immigration policy, and wants to make a good impression on everyone. But there may be a deeper meaning behind the artful response of Japanese officials.
Recently, Japan and the United States have been getting closer. This kind of event, which does not have a real impact, will basically not make Japan too dissatisfied with the United States. Japan's main goal now is to gain the support of the United States to develop its own military and technology. What the Japanese official means is that Biden does not understand Japan's policies, but Japan understands all the thoughts of the United States. The meaning of the words is that Japan is the country that understands the United States best, it doesn't matter if the United States does not understand Japan, Japan can understand the meaning of these practices of the United States, and the Fumio Kishida government also supports Biden's interpretation of immigration policy.
As a comparison, if we look at India, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar also responded to Biden's statement, because Biden also added India to the end, saying that India's economy is not developing now because of the immigration policy. But in response to the US, Jaishankar said that India's economy has not stagnated and India is very open. This is the message that only normal countries can send, but Japan is different, it wants to use this method to please the United States and let the United States help it to claim hegemony.
This is the deepest thinking of the Japanese government, there are not many ways they can use to promote economic development, many methods are useless, they no longer even care about the temporary economic development, they are willing to use the yen to open the way for US hegemony, and they are willing to be US pawns. Since what Japan wants to do most now is to develop its military, it proves that Japan has now set a direction for development, that is, to strive to become a military power, and the purpose of becoming a military power is naturally to use its military strength to dominate Asia and even the world. It can be said that Japan's militarism has really risen, and even for the sake of military hegemony, it does not hesitate to overdraft its economy, and it can also disregard its own face. Although he did not dare to offend the United States, his statement revealed that the United States did not understand Japan's attitude, as if it was to achieve the goal of US-Japan cooperation, and disdained Biden's "mistakes" in his remarks. The Biden administration is willing to work with such a country that is kind on the surface, but is bad behind the scenes, and once such a country grows, I am afraid that the United States will not have a good time.
