Japan is losing its composure! Japan has made a statement, calling for the improvement of Sino-Japanese relations! On January 13th, according to Japanese media reports, Tsuchii, president of the Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), stated at a press conference that we believe this enhanced export control measure targeting only our country is a clear act of economic coercion, which we deeply regret. There are many uncertainties at present, so I cannot make a hasty judgment, but I am concerned that if the tightening of regulations truly expands, it will have a significant impact on many industries.
Tsuchii said that Sino-Japanese relations are one of the most important bilateral relationships. I hope communication can be achieved through dialogue between the two governments. The Japan Business Federation hopes to seek opportunities for dialogue with Chinese high-level officials, ministers, and business people to improve Sino-Japanese relations. Obviously, after our countermeasures, the Japanese industry and business sectors are clearly losing their composure. Although Japan claims that we are engaging in so-called "economic coercion," Japan's position of wanting to improve relations with us is clearly evident.
However, our countermeasures are reasonable and just, and are by no means so-called economic coercion. Japan seeks dialogue with us, but as the saying goes, "the person who tied the bell must untie it," Japan needs to find the reasons within itself. Takahashi Hayana's attitude has already placed Sino-Japanese relations in an adversarial state, yet Japan has been indifferent to our firm stance. Clearly, under the situation where political relations are shaken, there will no longer be an option of "cold politics but warm economy." Japan should take good care of itself!
