"Japan should immediately and comprehensively ban all Chinese product imports, making the Chinese economy collapse!" This was the statement made by Japanese far-right parliament member Yamada Tarō at 14:05 on X platform today (January 10).
How can this person become a parliament member? The threshold for the Japanese political arena is indeed "high." If you don't have more than ten years of "brain stroke," you couldn't possibly say such words!
Japan lacks resources and highly depends on external supply. China is Japan's largest source of imports, with over 50% of the import value of 1,406 types of goods coming from China, which is 2.5 times that of the United States! The pillar industries of Japan, such as automobiles and electronics, would not be able to survive for more than two months without Chinese parts supplies!
This person's proposal is not a countermeasure, but rather "digging their own grave"! Even the mainstream Japanese media have called him a "responsible fool," purely an individual extreme statement to attract attention! However, to be honest, I hope there are more people like this "fool" in Japan [wink][wink][wink]
