On this occasion, Takahashi Sanae has stirred up trouble, and it seems that we have somewhat "intentionally" roasted Takahashi Sanae on the volcano! Why do I say this? On one hand, our warning was very strong, and we also took substantial countermeasures. On the other hand, in diplomatic settings, our attitude was very firm, and regarding Japan's protest against our "impolite" diplomacy, we did not respond at all, making Japan's protests seem weak and ineffective.
From Takahashi Sanae's perspective, whether to withdraw or not is a very difficult choice. If she withdraws, given our firm and high-handed diplomacy, her approval rating may crash as a result. If she does not withdraw, our countermeasures will certainly be intensified, putting Takahashi Sanae in a difficult position again. If Japan retaliates against our countermeasures, Japan will inevitably face political isolation and economic losses.
Moreover, Japan's tough stance will only make neighboring countries more vigilant about Takahashi Sanae's position. As Japan's domestic economy faces pressure, the voices opposing Takahashi Sanae will inevitably grow louder. If Japan takes no action against our countermeasures, this will also be interpreted as weakness within Japan. In short, no matter whether she yields or remains firm, it is poison for Takahashi Sanae now.
For us, we are definitely prepared to thoroughly hurt right-wing figures represented by Takahashi Sanae this time. Because, for us, if we don't hurt these people, the right-wingers will become even more arrogant, and "Taiwan independence" forces will follow suit, creating a联动 effect, which is extremely unfavorable for us to take back Taiwan. Obviously, for Japanese right-wingers, we have every reason to achieve everything in one stroke. Since we have seized this opportunity, we cannot easily let it go.
