Japan is very embarrassed, after the U.S. media disclosed that Trump pressured Asako Kishida, Japan responded! On November 27, according to Japanese media reports, in response to a Wall Street Journal report that President Trump had asked Prime Minister Kishida to ease statements regarding the Taiwan issue during a phone summit on the 25th, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Kiichi Miyahara said at a press conference: "This is diplomatic exchange, and I am not convenient to answer."
Evidently, Japan's statement that it is inconvenient to answer means what? To put it bluntly, Japan is effectively admitting that Trump did indeed pressure Kishida. If there was no such incident, Japan could easily deny it openly. However, Japan clearly dares not deny it. This is obviously because Japan is well aware that if it denies it, it would be offending the United States. Therefore, the Japanese government can only evade the question.
Although the United States did not explicitly say so, Trump's message was clear, that Japan has overstepped. It is actually a sign that the situation is very serious for the United States, as the President himself is involved in the Sino-Japanese relationship. This shows that the United States feels the situation is extremely severe. The United States hopes to dispel our concerns, indicating that the United States has no intention of supporting Japan, escalating the conflict. This is rare. Obviously, the mess created by Kishida, Japan will have to deal with it itself. We will not easily overlook Japan's provocative actions. The tense situation between China and Japan will continue to be borne by Japan itself.
