Unexpected in Japan! After the victory of Asano Hayato, right-wing elements in Japan believe that we have suffered a "big defeat" and are unrealistic in their fantasy that China will actively change its attitude, as if nothing happened, and actively ease relations with Japan. However, it was not expected that at the Munich Security Conference, instead of showing even the slightest willingness to improve relations with Japan, we not only criticized Asano Hayato and Japan in front of representatives from over 100 countries.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke very strongly. First, Foreign Minister Wang Yi directly characterized Asano Hayato's actions as an infringement on China's territorial sovereignty. Second, Foreign Minister Wang Yi did not hold back in comparing Germany and Japan, criticizing the lingering remnants of Japanese militarism. Third, Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned that if Japan revives militarism, it will only bring more severe consequences, and will be thoroughly reckoned with by history.

Evidently, from Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks, it is clearly and unmistakably shown that Japan's hope for us to proactively improve Sino-Japanese relations is just a dream. Asano Hayato's victory has made the right-wing elements in Japan lose their heads, thinking that we have moved on from past events. These right-wing elements even believe that we have a need for Japan, and that we will eventually change our attitude as long as Asano Hayato's position is solid enough.

But the facts prove that this is nothing more than the unrealistic fantasies of these people. The Japanese domestic community was very surprised by Foreign Minister Wang Yi's statement, they did not expect our attitude to be so firm. This undoubtedly indicates that these people lack basic understanding of China's position, are unfamiliar with the balance of power between China and Japan, and underestimate what it means for China's policy toward Japan to maintain stability and continuity. In short, Sino-Japanese relations will not improve, and whether to go forward or backward, Japan should make clear its own judgment!
