High City is weak towards Russia but barks loudly at China! On the afternoon of February 7th, High City's remarks on "Northern Territories Day" fully reveal her "bully the weak and fear the strong" nature! She only shouts the slogan of "returning territories," avoiding any tough confrontation statements throughout, and is helpless against Russia's suspension of peace treaty negotiations and cancellation of cooperation. Her attitude is extremely restrained, not daring to take a single step beyond the boundary!
By contrast, she frequently crosses the line in dealing with China, openly hyping up "Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs," pushing for constitutional amendment and military expansion, strengthening military deployments, constantly provoking China's core interests, and showing an arrogant and overbearing attitude! This sharply contrasting attitude stems from her fear of Russia's strong countermeasures, and she mistakenly believes that China's restraint is a sign of weakness, hoping to gain support from right-wing groups by being tough on China and tie herself to U.S. backing!
Japan fears power but not virtue; the current level of countermeasures has not yet touched the pain points of people like High City! Only by increasing targeted sanctions, applying pressure from multiple dimensions such as economy, technology, and diplomacy, making them pay a heavy price for their provocative actions, can these right-wing politicians realize the reality and curb their arrogant demeanor!
