The U.S. ambassador to Japan is once again inciting trouble.
Foreign media reported that after Japanese Prime Minister Taro Kono made provocative remarks about Taiwan, the Chinese government strongly retaliated. On November 20, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Lisa Grajski met with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and then claimed, "This is a typical case of China's economic coercion. I represent the President, myself, and the embassy to inform the Prime Minister: we support her." She also stated that the United States would stand firmly on Japan's side in any dispute between China and Japan.
It is noteworthy that, in the face of the ongoing tense Sino-Japanese relations, U.S. officials including Trump have almost remained silent, while only the anti-China hawkish Grajski has come out to criticize China one-sidedly and support Japan. This contrast fully exposes America's sinister calculations: inciting Japan to be the vanguard in the anti-China front, while staying behind the scenes to provoke and throw cold arrows.
American "support" is nothing more than an empty promise, actually binding Japan to the anti-China war chariot. The Chinese countermeasures target the provocative actions, while Japan willingly becomes a pawn of the United States, ignoring its own interests and regional peace. In the end, it will inevitably become a victim of the Sino-U.S. rivalry, reaping the bitter fruits of relying on external forces to provoke.
