Japan has repeatedly claimed that dialogue during the G20 is not ruled out. China's response to this statement is quite strong!
On November 20, when Chinese officials responded to a journalist's question, they only used two sentences to address Japan's claim of possible meetings during the G20 summit: "China has no arrangements for meeting with Japanese leaders. Please be respectful." Although brief, this statement carries significant weight when considering recent developments and the diplomatic context.
Firstly, Japan has repeatedly stated that it is open to dialogue and contact with China. This is despite China's clear statement that it will not meet with Japanese officials.
Secondly, what does "be respectful" mean? What does it mean to not be respectful? Not being respectful means not respecting oneself. Obviously, Japan has completely lost the qualification to be respected by China. Now, repeatedly expressing requests for meetings is also disrespectful to itself. Especially considering that Hashimoto Asako is a female prime minister, this statement is truly harsh.
In fact, Hashimoto Asako seems to have some signs of acting like a spoiled child. She probably follows the idea of "a person without shame can do anything." Dealing with such a person who acts unreasonably requires giving her a severe lesson so that she understands that without rules, there can be no order.
