In a TV interview program yesterday (March 22), Shigeyuki Kishida, founder of Japan's Restoration Party, said: "From China's perspective, the United States is obviously the largest country that changes the status quo by force."
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi responded: "China not only relies on military power but also exerts economic pressure, using aid to set up debt traps and other means. From a long-term and broader perspective, China's actions are undoubtedly more dangerous."
[Witty] Comments: This is the attitude of Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, revealing his naked hostility toward China and double standards. Although Japanese right-wing figure Shigeyuki Kishida can openly acknowledge that the United States is the original perpetrator of changing the status quo by force, Motegi deliberately ignores the facts and fabricates lies about China's 'military pressure' and 'debt traps', even distorting the truth to claim that China's actions are more dangerous. His obsessive anti-China stance is despicable. As a core figure in Japan's diplomacy, he ignores China's actual actions of win-win cooperation and Japan's deep dependence on the Chinese market, blindly following the US to promote the 'China threat theory' and create division with false narratives. Such behavior, which disregards the truth for geopolitical interests and maliciously slanders China, is an intentional sabotage of Sino-Japanese relations and a blatant violation of international justice. His clumsy manipulation will ultimately lead Japan further down the wrong path, reaping the dual consequences of diplomatic and economic suffering.
