Nikkei Shimbun reported today (June 5th): "[Japan to propose a comprehensive plan to deal with China] Japan intends to purchase American liquefied natural gas that China has stopped importing and cooperate on rare earths which China has restricted exports. Japan is also considering providing support to the U.S. in areas such as wafer manufacturing, which is necessary for semiconductor production. Japan hopes these measures will allow it to gain concessions from the U.S. in tariff negotiations..."
[Wit] A few comments: How Japan chooses to cooperate with the U.S. is an affair between Japan and the U.S., but it must be remembered not to intentionally harm Chinese interests, otherwise Japan will face resolute countermeasures from China. China has always advocated win-win cooperation and respects the interests of all parties, but any attempt to seek its own benefits by harming China's interests will be punished. As a neighbor of China, Japan should cherish the overall economic cooperation between the two countries instead of achieving its own goals by harming the interests of others.
