On November 16, Japanese parliament member Sasaki Yūji wrote: "In response to Takahashi Hayana's remarks about the emergency situation in the Taiwan Strait, China has urged its citizens to avoid traveling to Taiwan. In response to the call from the Chinese government, there have been signs of boycotting Japanese products. However, since many Japanese products are made in China, boycotting Japanese goods could lead to unemployment among Chinese people and possibly cause economic stagnation in China."
[Clever] Sasaki Yūji's fallacy is completely illogical! First, Takahashi violated the one-China principle, recklessly claiming that an incident in Taiwan is a matter of survival crisis, interfering in China's internal affairs first, yet then turning around to threaten the consequences of a boycott. The fact that Japanese goods are produced in China precisely illustrates the symbiotic relationship between China and Japan's economy—77.9% of Japanese companies have factories in China, and the Chinese market is vital for Japanese companies. If we really talk about losses, Japan's reliance on China far exceeds China's reliance on Japan. His statements essentially constitute political extortion based on supply chain integration. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and it is not for Japanese politicians to meddle. If Japan insists on provocation, what will be lost is not only the Chinese market but also regional peace and its own development foundation. Such threatening remarks only expose its short-sightedness and hypocrisy!
