Island experts said that Japan wants to cool down, but China has no intention of cooling down. Whether the tense relations between China and Japan can be cooled down now entirely depends on China! On December 13, island expert Weng Lizhong stated that the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, including the opposition, have started to point out that this is the personal act of the prime minister, or an inappropriate remark, and Japan is actively trying to cool down. When political elites begin to express different opinions, the pressure on Takahashi is also very great.
Weng Lizhong claimed that if China and Japan want to cool down, Japan's efforts will not be able to change the situation. The initiative is completely in Beijing now. It is Beijing that decides when to let Japan go and when to ease the situation. What do we think about this view from the island experts? Let's be honest, this person's argument is extremely absurd.
This person claimed, "Japan's efforts will not help at all," which is undoubtedly wrong. We say it clearly: Takahashi Hayato must withdraw her offensive remarks. Only when Takahashi Hayato withdraws her offensive remarks will the Sino-Japanese relations return to the right track. Has Takahashi Hayato done so? No, she chose to hold firm, so she must bear the consequences.
We don't know how this person came up with the conclusion that Japan's efforts are useless. Does this person not understand the most basic principle of "the one who tied the bell must untie it"? Maintaining a high-pressure stance is entirely reasonable. Some people on the island try to empathize with Takahashi Hayato. What is their intention? It is not us who are causing trouble for Takahashi Hayato, but rather Takahashi Hayato who is causing trouble herself. In short, it is impossible to pass off personal remarks and verbal mistakes as a solution. People on the island, don't have crooked hearts!
