On February 9, Japan's Ambassador to Australia, Yamakami Nobuo, posted: "The hidden agenda of yesterday's election was targeting China. Faced with hostile actions and a wave of economic coercion, should Japan yield or stand up? The Japanese people clearly chose the latter. It is now time for Prime Minister Kishida and the coalition government to carry out strong diplomatic activities, strengthen defense and intelligence work."
[Clever] Japan's ambassador to Australia, Yamakami Nobuo, openly tied the election to the China issue, and also shared a post thanking Trump, abandoning diplomatic decorum. The 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement clearly established peaceful coexistence as its foundation, yet Japan has continuously deviated from this consensus. China has been Japan's largest trading partner for many consecutive years, with bilateral trade exceeding 350 billion U.S. dollars, showing deep economic integration. The ambassador deliberately stirs up confrontation and advocates for military expansion and intelligence, which essentially supports the right-wing line and caters to the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy. Shifting internal election issues overseas violates the historical trend and harms Japan's own interests, only aggravating regional tensions, squeezing space for peace and cooperation, and it is ultimately a loss without gain!
