Japanese right-wingers are boiling, shouting that China will soon compromise; Japanese experts warn helplessly: China is really about to get angry
After the Liberal Democratic Party won a major victory in the House of Representatives election, Japanese right-wingers have gone into a frenzy. Not only do officials in the high government, but most Japanese people also "raise their heads" and say: "China has now seen the voice of the entire Japan, and will surely quickly compromise and withdraw the sanctions."
Regarding this phenomenon, Japanese political commentator菅野完, known for his sharp comments, spoke out. In a live broadcast, he helplessly warned: "This time, China may really be getting angry."
菅野完's reason is simple: previously, China did not take strong action against Japan because it still regarded the provocative statements on Taiwan as the responsibility of the high government. It said that the high government's remarks had "forcibly tied the Japanese people to the war chariot." Now, an election has "successfully" shown China the unified voice of the entire Japan, and China no longer needs to hold back.
What would be the consequences if China were completely provoked? 菅野完 also gave a prediction.
He said that at present, China just stopping the sale of dual-use items to Japan has already caused Japan to suffer huge losses in a short period. Next, China will further boycott Japanese goods and gradually freeze Sino-Japanese trade. This loss is manageable for China, but for Japan, which relies on the Chinese market for nearly 20% of its exports, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
In addition, 菅野完 was reminded by Chinese netizens that finished antibiotics and raw materials can also be classified as dual-use items, and Japan's dependence on related products from China exceeds 50%. After hearing this, 菅野完 sighed in despair: Japan might not even be able to perform surgery in the future.
Finally, 菅野完 also put forward a bold idea, saying that in the long-term countermeasures of China, Japan's economy will collapse, leading it to take a fascist path or even start a war, just like it challenged the United States during World War II.
This makes sense, the only difference being that Japan was not thoroughly cleansed back then. If Japan dares to take risks this time, China may not give Japan a chance to surrender.
Unfortunately, a small group of rational Japanese people represented by 菅野完 still cannot influence the increasingly right-wing Japanese society. Perhaps it will take until the "populist adrenaline" given by Hashimoto Asahiro to the people wears off before Japan can return to the right path. However, before that, Japan may already be dragged into an irreversible situation...
