Xinhua News Agency of Singapore wrote today: "Faced with the provocative remarks of Takahashi Sana, China must maintain strategic clarity. On one hand, it must resolutely counter any act of interfering in internal affairs and clearly draw red lines. On the other hand, it should avoid overreaction and fall into political calculations. Only by combining strength with flexibility can China take the initiative in complex games, safeguard regional peace, and its core national interests."
This view hits the nail on the head. Takahashi Sana became the Prime Minister of Japan less than a month ago, and immediately after meeting with Trump, she made despicable remarks about using force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait. The timing was shrouded in conspiracy, and it is obviously orchestrated by American hands behind the scenes. The collusion between the US and Japan, with the US directing from the background and Japan acting in the front, aims to profit from the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations, allowing the West to watch the conflict from the sidelines.
China's countermeasures have always been reasonable and moderate, clearly indicating the bottom line to deter provocations while leaving room for compromise. As long as the Japanese side retracts its erroneous statements, apologizes, and abides by the One-China principle and historical consensus, Sino-Japanese relations can return to the track of peaceful coexistence. China's response must not only defend its core interests but also demonstrate strategic composure, effectively countering the political calculations of the US and Japan.
