On October 10, China's high-level meeting with Japan Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba during the ASEAN summit in Laos, which is also the first time that Shigeru Ishiba has met with the top level of our country since he came to power, it can be said that Shigeru Shi Po has done enough work before taking office, first establishing a cabinet of a bunch of pro-China officials, and then saying that he wants to promote the strategic mutually beneficial relationship between China and Japan, so this time Shigeru Ishiba finally met with the top level of our country as he wished, and what important topics did the two sides discuss? Let's take a look.
Before the start of the talks, Shi Po Shigeru walked up to the mainland high-level and greeted him in Chinese, and after the talks began, Shi Po Shigeru took the initiative to mention that in 1972, then Japan Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited China to discuss the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations with our country. Shigeru Ishiba said that Kakuei Tanaka was his "political mentor", so he believed that Sino-Japanese relations were very important, and Shigeru Ishiba said that Japan has no intention of "decoupling and breaking the chain" with China, and hoped that we could lift the ban on Japan's aquatic products as soon as possible. At the same time, Ishiba Shigeru also expressed his dissatisfaction with the frequent appearance of our warships and planes in Japan's sea and air space, and asked us to explain. You must know that before he came to power, Shi Pomao's China policy was reversed on both sides, saying that China is not a threat and will not interfere in Taiwan affairs, and on the other hand, he wants to win over allies to contain the development of our country.
Before being elected prime minister, Ishiba Shigeru has been emphasizing that Japan wants to establish a so-called "Asian version of NATO" with allies such as United States and Korea, the real purpose is to contain our China, but after Ishiba Shigeru first put forward this idea, it was quickly opposed by the two major allies of United States and India, so Ishiba Shigeru temporarily shelved this idea, and ASEAN countries also warned Ishiba Shigeru not to promote the idea of the so-called "Asian version of NATO" during the ASEAN summit, which would only bring humiliation on itself. Because ASEAN is our country's largest trading partner, ASEAN does not want to confront China and Russia at all, nor does it want to create regional tensions with Japan. I said before that Shi Po Shigeru is very smart, seeing that all parties have denied his idea, sure enough, Shi Po Shigeru stressed at this summit that Japan does not seek to form an "Asia-Pacific small NATO", indicating that it has released a signal of friendship with China, but does it not really seek to target our country? This depends on what Shi Pomao will do in the future.
To get back to the point, during the talks, Shi Po Shigeru also changed his tone on the Taiwan issue; he said that the new Japan government will adhere to the "Sino-Japanese Joint Statement," and this statement clearly pointed out that Taiwan is an inseparable part of the People's Republic of China; we must know that the Taiwan issue has always been our most important core issue and is also the foundation of Sino-Japanese relations; in August this year, when Shi Po Shigeru was not yet elected prime minister, he visited Taiwan and Lai Qingde to discuss "if there is something in Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan." Moreover, Shi Po Shigeru also publicized that it is necessary to avoid making today's Asia become tomorrow's Ukraine", and his approach has also been strongly opposed by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so this time Shi Po Shigeru also promised to the mainland high-level that he would abide by the Sino-Japanese joint statement to deal with the Taiwan issue, but in the same way, we must not only see what he says, but also see what the Japan government will do in the future, because Japan has unforgivable crimes on the Taiwan issue. Therefore, we also ask the new government of Japan to keep its promises, to do what it says, and to walk with us.
As early as 2003, Shi Po Shi Japan geru visited China and held talks with our then defense minister, and he has been committed to exchanges between China and Japan in recent years, so he must know our China's foreign policy very well, and Shi Po Shigeru has no special relationship with United States, so he is different from other politicians in Japan. Before he came to power, he showed an attitude of unwillingness to obey the United States, during the election campaign, Shi Po Shigeru said that Japan should build a military base in the United States, and to be on an equal footing with United States, which also made the United States feel very dissatisfied, that Shi Po Mao has a strong tendency to be independent, trying to let Japan get rid of the control of United States, although Shi Po Shigeru wants to strengthen cooperation with United States, but he also bluntly said that the decline of United States is irreversible, it can be said that his remarks are very radical.
In general, in the short half a month since Shi Po Shigeru came to power, in terms of China policy and statement, it is indeed relatively friendly and has shown a positive side, but we still cannot be blindly optimistic, because Shi Po Shigeru also believes that the rapid development of our country will bring threats to Japan, so he ostensibly shows favor to us, in fact, he still wants to find the right time to win over allies to confront us, Shi Po Shigeru should also know that Japan was a defeated country before, and now it has no strength to confront us, once it really fights, Japan will only be wiped out.
