Today (May 10), Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore reported: "A Japanese group promoting economic and trade cooperation with China plans to send a delegation to China for inspection next week, with intentions to increase similar small-scale exchanges. Scholars interviewed believe such economic and trade interactions help prevent further deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations, but are unlikely to fully resolve the deep-seated contradictions between the two countries."
[Witty] A few comments: On one hand, following Washington in containment efforts and shouting 'If Taiwan is in trouble, Japan will be in trouble'; on the other hand, still wanting to come to China for profit—how could there possibly be such a cheap double standard in the world? These superficial, evasive small-scale interactions can only temporarily cover wounds like a Band-Aid, absolutely unable to mend the political trust brutally pierced by right-wing Japanese politicians. As long as Tokyo continues relying on the U.S. for security and engages in confrontation, these cautious economic explorations will always remain futile golden veneer, incapable of withstanding any political turbulence.
