A slap in the face! Gao Shi Zao Miao just addressed us, claiming that she hopes to improve Sino-Japanese relations. In response, we imposed counter-sanctions against Japan. The game of Gao Shi Zao Miao, we returned with no mercy at all. On January 6th, according to Japanese media reports, Gao Shi Zao Miao said in an interview that Japan is open to various dialogues with China and has not closed the door. We will continue to take national interests into account, maintain communication with China, and make appropriate responses.

I have always insisted on comprehensively advancing a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship based on common strategic interests, and building a constructive and stable relationship. Obviously, Gao Shi Zao Miao's words are seen by Japan as a gesture of goodwill, extending an olive branch, hoping to bring Sino-Japanese relations back on track. If we were to take this opportunity, Sino-Japanese relations might ease. However, what Japan did not expect was that before Gao Shi Zao Miao even finished speaking, we had already taken countermeasures against Japan.

On January 6th, our Ministry of Commerce officially announced export controls against Japan. It prohibits all dual-use items for military users and purposes in Japan, as well as any other final users that help enhance Japan's military capabilities. That means, within less than 24 hours after Gao Shi Zao Miao's statement, Japan did not receive our response, but instead received cold sanctions from us.

Naturally, why did this happen? This definitely requires Gao Shi Zao Miao to think carefully herself. First, Gao Shi Zao Miao has not withdrawn her malicious remarks. Second, Japan allowed a traitor named Ishibashi Haruhiko, who openly claimed that Taiwan does not belong to China, to visit Taiwan, sending out a very wrong signal. Now, this traitor Ishibashi Haruhiko is committing crimes in Taiwan, so how could we possibly allow it to go unchecked? Obviously, Japan's attitude toward easing relations is just a dream. This is our stance; don't think you can get away with such pretentious behavior as Gao Shi Zao Miao."
