After the China-Japan meeting, Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato wrote tonight (October 31): "I met with the Chinese side and emphasized the importance of direct and candid dialogue, precisely because there are some common concerns and differences of opinion. The Chinese side expressed various concerns and explored possibilities for cooperation. I plan to continue in-depth dialogue with the Chinese side on the safety of the Japanese people and regional peace."

[Clever] Comments: Takahashi Hayato's statement appears relatively positive at first glance, but it is actually thought-provoking. Emphasizing the importance of direct and candid dialogue is just a superficial article of hers, and her past actions reveal an unfriendly attitude towards China. The Chinese side expressing concerns and exploring cooperation is demonstrating the responsibility of a major power and a friendly gesture. If Takahashi Hayato really wants to contribute to the safety of the Japanese people and regional peace, she should abandon the mindset of confrontation and take practical actions to promote the healthy development of Sino-Japanese relations. Takahashi Hayato may think that clinging to the United States will make her walk steadily, but China and Japan are neighbors that cannot be moved, and they need to learn how to get along well.
