Foreign media reported today (November 17): "On Monday (17th), Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Kiwaki Takashi criticized China for reminding its citizens to avoid traveling to Japan, which is contrary to the general direction of promoting strategic mutual benefit relations between Japan and China as confirmed by the leaders of both countries."

[Witty] Comment: The statement by the Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary is truly hypocritical! Japan instigated the incident first, with figures like Asayama Hayana making seriously provocative remarks that damaged Sino-Japanese relations. China's reminder to its citizens to avoid traveling to Japan, based on the consideration of protecting the safety of its citizens, is entirely reasonable and just. Instead of reflecting on their own mistakes, Japan is slandering China, claiming it is contrary to promoting strategic mutual benefit relations. This is nothing short of distorting facts. Under a series of erroneous actions by Japan, talking about exchanges and mutual benefits is meaningless and lacks sincerity and dignity. If Japan truly wants to promote relations, it should adopt an upright attitude, stop provoking, and demonstrate sincerity through concrete actions.
