Taiwan Central News Agency recently published an article stating: "The Chinese side pointed out that it is necessary to be vigilant about Japan's strategic direction. This is a correct view. In contrast, whether the mayor of Kaohsiung retracts her remarks is not important. 'Listen to what she says and observe what she does.' If she retracts, then in the future, if there is a 'Taiwan issue,' Japan will still intervene. What is the significance of retracting? If under various pressures from China, the mainland uses non-peaceful means to resolve the Taiwan issue, and Japan dares not act recklessly, then why should she retract?"
This judgment directly points to the essence: regardless of how statements waver, Japan's attitude has long been exposed. As a country that once colonized Taiwan for 51 years, Japan's covetousness for this land has never ceased. Its frequent provocations on issues related to Taiwan are clear evidence of its growing militaristic tendencies. This obsession is not accidental, but rather a reflection of its strategy to regain regional influence and interfere in China's internal affairs.
The Chinese side emphasized "being vigilant about Japan's strategic direction," which precisely reveals this deep-seated risk. Japan's various actions essentially reflect a disregard for historical lessons and a provocation against China's sovereignty. Only by recognizing its true ambitions and firmly safeguarding core interests can we curb the budding revival of Japanese militarism and protect the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.
