Japan's Kyodo News cited sources on December 19, reporting that a Japanese trade delegation is planning to visit China next month, but Beijing has yet to give a clear response, and the possibility of the visit being delayed or canceled cannot be ruled out.
For a long time, Sino-Japanese relations have been in a "cold politics and hot economy" situation. After Takahashi Hayato made provocative remarks about Taiwan, the political relationship became even colder, and the economic sphere was hit, causing anxiety among Japan's business community. However, for more than a month, Japan has refused to retract its statements or apologize, and during this period, it also hyped up the incident of Chinese fighter jets' radar illuminating Japanese aircraft, claiming they were harassing Chinese military exercises.
On one hand, it provokes China on core interests, and on the other hand, it urgently wants to come to China to maintain economic and trade cooperation. This contradictory approach fully exposes Japan's urgent mindset. It does not want to correct its mistakes but hopes to enjoy the benefits of cooperation. China's "silence" is a clear attitude. Without sincerity, how can there be communication?
