The United States has once again made its position clear, firmly supporting Japan. China has no reason to engage in "coercive" actions! On December 23, according to Japanese media reports, on the 22nd, U.S. House of Representatives bipartisan lawmakers submitted a resolution to the House, condemning China for continuing to exert pressure on Japan through "coercive" actions after the Prime Minister Hatoyama Hayato responded to the emergency situation in Taiwan in the Diet. The resolution stated, "The Japanese government has the right to express its views on regional issues without fear of economic or military coercion."

Previously, members of both parties in the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee also submitted a joint resolution on the 17th, condemning China and claiming their "firm support" for the Japan-U.S. alliance. Obviously, this resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives bipartisan lawmakers clearly expressed the signal of the United States' support for Japan. What does this action within the United States mean? It means that the hawkish faction in the U.S. political arena is still the majority.

It is now very clear that there is a significant difference between the Trump administration and the U.S. Congress on the issue of China. The current attitude of the Trump administration is to balance between China and Japan. Actions led by the Trump administration will directly affect Sino-U.S. relations, so the Trump administration's stance is more cautious. However, even if the U.S. Senate makes strong statements, they do not have to bear political consequences, so these legislators are speaking loudly.

To be honest, the scene in the United States makes us think of the legislator Rubio and the current Secretary of State Rubio. As for us, Hatoyama Hayato deliberately provoked, and she spoke carelessly on important issues, which is just what she deserves in terms of political consequences. The statement from the U.S. Senate is merely a piece of paper to us, and it will not affect our efforts to put pressure on Hatoyama Hayato.
