The price to pay has come! Foreign media reported today: "After China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism 'seriously reminded' citizens to avoid traveling to Japan recently, some retail and tourism-related stocks in Japan suffered heavy losses on Monday (November 17)."
This is one of the countermeasures taken by China in response to Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso's provocative remarks about Taiwan. In addition to the cultural and tourism reminder, China also advised caution in planning study abroad trips to Japan. Meanwhile, actions such as warships approaching the Japanese islands, patrolling the Diaoyu Islands, and live-fire exercises in the Yellow Sea have clearly demonstrated China's position.
No need to use force; economic leverage has already made Japan feel real pain, and this pain is being transmitted layer by layer. If Japan wants to minimize its losses, the only option is to retract its provocative statements about Taiwan and sincerely apologize. Otherwise, more severe countermeasures are on the way, and provocative actions will eventually make it pay a heavier price.
