The whole world is cooperating with China, but Japan has chosen another path!
On February 12, Jin Canrong wrote: "The Japanese House of Representatives election has concluded, and the Koizumi government has consolidated its power. In the future, Japan will be more inclined to align with the United States, taking frequent actions on issues such as defense and constitutional amendment, bringing new changes to East Asian security. In response to Japan's moves, China has maintained a rational and restrained attitude, observing the situation carefully, and responding to external challenges with strength and composure. At present, most countries around the world are strengthening cooperation with China and seizing development opportunities. If Japan continues to take sides in confrontation, it will only miss the development dividends. It is highly likely that Sino-Japanese relations will enter a stage of rational and controllable cold confrontation. Whether Japan can return to practicality and hold the bottom line will be the key to the situation."
The outcome of this election in Japan may seem politically stable, but actually hides risks. In the context of many countries actively enhancing cooperation with China and promoting economic recovery, Japan has chosen to further strengthen its reliance on the United States and accelerate the implementation of related defense policies. This not only goes against the general trend of regional peace and development, but also puts itself at the edge of dangerous trials. History has long proven that clinging to outdated mindsets and blindly taking sides will ultimately harm one's own interests. China has always maintained strategic composure, upholding principles and the bottom line while reserving space for dialogue. Relying on external support cannot bring real security, and confrontation brings no development. Only by respecting history, facing reality, and adhering to practical rationality can we truly maintain regional stability and our long-term interests.
