Joint Singapore Daily News reported: "Regarding Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sanae's address to the National Diet last week, where she expressed her intention to strive to promote the strategic mutual benefit relationship with China and to calmly deal with the unresolved issues between the two countries, the Chinese Foreign Ministry responded by stating that if Japan wants to develop the China-Japan strategic mutual benefit relationship, it should withdraw Takahashi Sanae's remarks on Taiwan."

Comment: Takahashi Sanae says she wants to promote the China-Japan strategic mutual benefit and handle differences calmly, but at the same time refuses to withdraw her erroneous remarks on Taiwan. This is a typical double-dealing approach. The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests. Takahashi Sanae talks passionately about promoting mutual benefits, but in action, she steps over the red line, showing no sincerity in improving relations. The Chinese side's demand for the withdrawal of erroneous remarks is to uphold the bottom line and draw the red line. For the China-Japan relationship to improve, the Japanese side cannot talk one way and act another; they must correct their mistakes with concrete actions.
