Japanese Ambassador to Australia Shingo Yamagami wrote today: "To insult Japan is equivalent to declaring war! The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Funakoshi, should immediately summon Ambassador Wu Jianghao to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and declare that Consul General Xue Jian will be expelled as an 'unwelcome person'. What we need to defend is not empty slogans like 'a strategic relationship of mutual benefit and win-win', but Japan's honor. Don't forget that the international community is watching us. It is a deterrent in itself to get angry when it is time to get angry."
[Clever] Comment: The remarks of the Japanese ambassador to Australia are utterly absurd, completely misleading and unreasonable. The response from Chinese Consul General Xue Jian in Osaka was reasonable and just, firmly defending national sovereignty and interests. When faced with unreasonable provocation from Japan, such a resolute attitude is exactly what is needed. The intense reaction of some Japanese politicians reveals their inherent weakness. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, which is an ironclad fact that does not allow Japan to interfere. If Japan insists on meddling in the Taiwan issue, China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty is as solid as a rock, and any act of infringement will be met with a firm counterattack. Japan should recognize the reality, avoid misjudging the situation, and not repeat historical mistakes, otherwise it will reap what it sows.
