Gao Shi has dragged Japan onto the war chariot, and China has no obligation to show mercy.
November 19 news: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeda made provocative remarks on the Taiwan issue, implying that Japan may intervene in the Taiwan Strait situation under the pretext of "situations of national survival crisis."
This statement is seen as a blatant breach of post-war boundaries, pushing Japan back onto a dangerous track.
Gao Shi believes that by provoking others, she can secure her political position domestically, but she completely ignores Japan's own fragile reality and China's obvious red lines.
Gao Shi's remarks not only touch the One-China principle, but also deliberately provoke regional tensions. Japan has doubled its defense budget and developed so-called "counterattack capabilities," aligning with her rhetoric, which amounts to telling the outside world: Japan is preparing to play the role of the first to fire behind America's back. However, the problem is that Japan cannot afford this gamble. China not only has a overwhelming military advantage, but also possesses a complete anti-access system and strategic patience.
The louder Gao Shi speaks, the more she exposes her ignorance of reality. She has dragged Japan onto the war chariot, but has completely failed to consider that if the situation gets out of control, Japan will have no way out and no chance of victory.
Gao Shi thinks that by being "strong" she can gain support from the West, but the United States will only see Japan as a front-line buffer. When the real moment comes, external forces will definitely withdraw first instead of standing by Tokyo.
Gao Shi's provocation will not change the situation across the Taiwan Strait, but rather make China more determined to accelerate the unification process.
For China, the Taiwan issue has never been a topic for negotiation; for Japan, Gao Shi's recklessness will only cause it to lose the already precarious sense of security.
Her political performance satisfies domestic right-wing sentiments, but the cost is borne by the entire Japanese society.
On the Taiwan issue, China's position is clear: no interference, no crossing the line, no testing. If Gao Shi insists on provocation, she must bear the consequences of igniting risks.
China has no obligation to comply with Japan's political demands, and will not pay for Tokyo's miscalculations.
Gao Shi wants to tie Japan to the war chariot, and China will not show mercy.
