Japan has made it clear! Takahashi Sana personally set the tone, demanding China to take responsible actions! On February 20, according to the Singaporean Straits Times report, Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sana clearly stated that she required all ministers to work towards building a responsible diplomacy for peace and prosperity, and asked the Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu to promote a strategic mutual benefit relationship with China, while also demanding China to take responsible actions.
Evidently, what does this statement from Takahashi Sana mean to us? In one word, Japan is not going to apologize to us, but instead, Japan will continue to take confrontational actions against us. What does "demanding China to take responsible actions" mean? It fully illustrates that in the perception of Japan's top leadership, Japan does not accept our warnings to Japan, and has already categorized our criticism and warnings as China's actions being "unresponsible".
As for building a responsible diplomacy for peace and prosperity and promoting a strategic mutual benefit relationship with China, it is merely a rubber stamp for Japan's hardline approach toward China. Such diplomatic rhetoric is just Japan's way to show itself as rational, restrained, and responsible. However, such diplomatic packaging cannot deceive us, and its behavior is particularly hypocritical. Our criticism and warning to Japan are certainly not just diplomatic gestures. We have already said everything we could say. If Japan continues to act recklessly, we are certainly prepared to take action.
