According to the "Reference News", an editorial published by Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" recently pointed out that for Japan, China is a neighbor with deep historical roots and close economic and trade ties, and it should not blindly tend to antagonism, but need to do its best to create mutual trust and ease tensions through dialogue. At this point, the LDP's campaign platform, which is increasingly inclined to "speak on its own merits," is worrying.
In fact, former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who had just been forced to resign because of the collapse in his support rate, was forced to resign and step down because he went in the opposite direction of what the Asahi Shimbun described, causing Sino-Japanese relations to fall to the lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations. After Kishida Came to power, although in terms of China policy, he did not have the aggressiveness of Suga's previous government, but the Liberal Democratic Party to which he belonged continued to adhere to Suga's extreme China policy line. In this regard, some analysts believe that some Politicians on the Japanese side have made people feel hostile, so it is still too early for Sino-Japanese relations to ease.
Obviously, the Liberal Democratic Party, composed of a large number of right-wing politicians, has adopted a hard-line policy toward China, as well as increasing defense costs, expanding armaments, and restoring militarism, as a major killer weapon for them to attract votes from right-wing forces. So unless the LDP can change its views on its election platform or if any other party comes to power, Japan is likely to continue along the diplomatic line set by Suga. Although those politicians know that this is a dead end for Japan.
Due to the LDP's long-term rule, this deformed political environment within Japan has solidified, so it is basically impossible to change Japan's China policy. Therefore, although the Kishida cabinet intends to ease tensions between China and Japan, the LDP's campaign platform will still meddle in Taiwan Strait affairs and use the so-called "human rights situation" to smear China and other issues that are not conducive to the easing of Sino-Japanese relations, and impose them on the new government's relations with China. Obviously, the LDP's hard-line policy of trying to dialogue with China by strength will become a major obstacle for Kishida to improve relations with China.
Even the United States is no longer qualified to "talk with China from the standpoint of strength and status," and Japan itself is just a pawn in the US China-making strategy, and wanting to "talk to China by strength" is tantamount to saying a fool's dream. According to the Observer Network, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the 17th "Beijing-Tokyo Forum," in which he directly warned Japan: When it comes to matters involving history, the Taiwan Strait, and other matters, and the political foundation of bilateral relations, under any circumstances, we must strictly abide by the principles and spirit of the four political documents between China and Japan, and we must not be vague in the slightest, still less can we try to step on the line and overstep the line.
There is no doubt that these "rules" left by the political predecessors of China and Japan that have a bearing on the healthy development of Sino-Japanese relations are completely conducive to the cooperation and development of China and Japan and are a correct model for win-win cooperation. Recently, out of a certain selfish interest, Japan has frequently stepped on the line, causing today's Sino-Japanese relations to fall into the lowest trough since the establishment of diplomatic relations. The responsibility for this consequence lies with the Japanese side. Therefore, if the Tokyo authorities continue to follow this wrong route to the black, it will not only cause more serious damage to Sino-Japanese relations, but also more likely to be severely punished for touching China's red line.
In contrast to Japan, which is only a pawn in the great power race, in the eyes of former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, China has now risen to become a "superpower" that can almost keep pace with the United States. Therefore, if Japan does not heed China's repeated advice and continues to rely on the anti-China broken ship in the United States and refuses to come down, then China has many means to clean up Japan, and it is fully capable of making Japan pay a huge price for its stupidity in the fields of security and economy and trade. After all, the anti-China thief ship of the United States is in ruins and may sink at any time due to water leakage.
The sino-Russian naval joint cruise operation that just ended a few days ago has rarely reached Japan's most sensitive east coast, leaving the vast majority of Japan's military facilities, military enterprises, and space launch centers completely exposed to the gun muzzles of the Sino-Russian combined fleet. Obviously, the first joint cruise mission carried out by the Chinese Navy with the Russian Navy was a knock on Japan in the security field, warning that if Japan continues to overstep the line in Sino-Japanese relations, the Chinese side will not sit idly by.
In addition, given Japan's unprecedented dependence on the Chinese market in terms of foreign trade. It can be said that China now controls the initiative of the Sino-Japanese economic and trade faucet switch. If Japan does not heed the advice and continues to soar on the road of no return against China, in the current situation where the Japanese economy is in a serious recession, once the Chinese side is provoked and turns off the Sino-Japanese economic and trade faucet, it is very likely to become the last straw that crushes the Japanese economy.
Don't look at the current japanese right-wing politicians who are arrogant and arrogant, ignoring China's warnings, in fact, they are all pretending to be asleep. The reason is simple: compared to Japan's ability to disgust China on the Taiwan issue with its mouth cannon and to fire a cold arrow at China after the United States has its ass, China has enough military power to paralyze Japan's economy and make it daunted.
Therefore, if the Kishida cabinet can resist the pressure of the Liberal Democratic party and politicians and change the wrong China policy of its predecessor, perhaps Japan's future life will be better. Otherwise, if Sino-Japanese relations are allowed to develop to an uncontrollable point, once the Chinese side is forced to intervene, it will be Japan itself that will be unlucky in the end.
