The Japanese reaction is very strange! After our continuous countermeasures against Japan, although people like Takahashi Sanae and Koizumi Shinjiro have a hard line in words, it's strange that Japan has not taken any direct countermeasures against our countermeasures. Frankly speaking, Takahashi Sanae's current situation is somewhat awkward. The hardliners in Japan are showing a stance of being ready to fight with us head-on, but as a representative of the far-right, Takahashi Sanae has been delaying from stepping up to directly "confront" us.

Supporters of Takahashi Sanae clearly feel a bit discouraged, believing that Takahashi Sanae is making diplomatic compromises. Of course, why Takahashi Sanae is not willing to confront us directly. This is obviously due to three reasons. First, Japan has no cards left. If Japan takes countermeasures, our countermeasures against Japan will continue, and Japan will pay a higher price. In fact, every move we have made against Japan has been very methodical and well planned.

Second, the key point is that the United States is not supporting Japan now. The China-US relationship is in a sensitive period of easing, and the US will not disrupt its rhythm of dealing with us for the sake of Japan. If Takahashi Sanae acts rashly, the US not only will not support her, but may even exert pressure on Takahashi Sanae to prevent the US from being dragged into the water by Japan. Third, after our countermeasures, the Japanese business community has already publicly criticized Takahashi Sanae. The voices of dissatisfaction with Takahashi Sanae within Japan are becoming increasingly significant, and Takahashi Sanae cannot ignore this.

Of course, Takahashi Sanae is unlikely to confront us directly, but she will definitely not adjust her position. The current situation is clear enough: Takahashi Sanae's strategy is to wait for changes and deal with it coldly. It is basically determined that Japan is walking down the path of militarism. After Takahashi Sanae steps down, our countermeasures against Japan may not be canceled either. This is not a short-term game, and we have clearly made up our minds.
