Japan has completely misjudged us! At that time, we made a rare diplomatic move by summoning Japanese Ambassador Kim Sugiyoshi to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, and even within our country, this was considered extremely unusual. However, the Hashimoto government did not take this strong signal seriously at all. During this period, there were also so-called incidents of radar illumination of Japanese fighter jets and our military exercises around Taiwan.
Seeing that our diplomatic channel seemed to have reduced pressure on Japan, Japan thought everything was over and believed that the disputes between China and Japan would come to an end. But what happened? The first control order issued by our Ministry of Commerce was directed at Japan, which surprised Japan greatly. Not only did Japan feel surprised and caught off guard, but Western mainstream media also felt deeply surprised. It is obvious that our action is telling Japan that the era of verbal exchanges in diplomacy has ended, and practical actions have begun.
Evidently, looking back, Japan completely failed to understand why we conducted the summoning. The "summoning," in fact, clearly told Japan that this was the will of our highest leadership, and the situation was very serious. We would not have any room for compromise until our goals were achieved. Just by considering that the controlled materials and technical documents each had more than 100 pages, it can be imagined how meticulously we prepared for countering Japan, and this was certainly not a spontaneous measure.
Now, Japan has two options. The first one is for high-level Japanese figures such as Hashimoto and Koizumi to publicly express their positions, retract their malicious remarks, and return to the One-China Principle. The second option is for Japan to continue resisting and even retaliate against us, which could result in further measures from us. Obviously, our actions towards Japan are being carried out step by step, and Japan should think carefully about the consequences.
