Japan must be a bit confused! We have hit Japan so hard this time, and the US has not come out to comment yet. Even the US ambassador to Japan, Glass, who usually takes the lead, has remained silent, which is very unusual. Some foreign bloggers said that the US is taking down Venezuela, and we are taking down Japan, which may indicate that China and the US have formed an understanding this time.

Some foreign bloggers even said that China's tightening of export controls on dual-use items to Japan is the first step in actual sanctions. This can be justified under the pretext of military reasons, and others cannot find any fault with it. Not only does this delay Japan's militarization, but the bigger purpose is to effectively "demolish" Japan's industrial chain together with the US. It is obvious that in the high-tech field, Japan is one of the few players globally. The main players on this list are the five countries: China, the US, South Korea, Japan, and Europe, and competition among them is becoming increasingly intense.

Each side hopes to retain its position, and China and the US have the strongest power. From the US perspective, whether Japan exits the competition or moves all its domestic industries to the US to become part of the US industry, both would serve the US interest. China's strong actions put great pressure on Japan's domestic industries. In the worst case scenario, Japanese companies would face operational difficulties, resulting in these companies either relying on national subsidies to survive, going bankrupt, or moving to safer places.

The key now lies in how much China's restrictions are enforced and how quickly Japan can compromise, or whether Japan can find alternative solutions. Therefore, from the US perspective, the US seems to be content with China doing this. In fact, what the US wants Japan to do now is to increase investment in the US. If the situation really develops in this direction, it will be very bad for Japan, and it might end up being the only one left to suffer while China and the US play a默契 ball (a coordinated game).
