Yesterday, former Japanese Prime Minister Ishibashi once again issued a strong warning: If Japan dares to attack China, it will face a catastrophic disaster! Analysts suggest that this warning stems from the war memories of his family for three generations - his father experienced the cleanup of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb ruins and witnessed the tragic consequences of nuclear radiation, which made him deeply understand the cost of gambling on the country's fate. In 2025, Japan is in a deep strategic dilemma: economically, it is highly dependent on China, with $1.2 trillion in investments in China, 65% of rare earth imports, and Toyota's production capacity in China being 1.8 times that of its domestic operations, which means it cannot afford the cost of decoupling; militarily, the US does not recognize its long-range strike capabilities, and the weapons purchased from the US are overpriced and lack core technology. The radical policies of the Takashima cabinet have caused social division, with 62% of business operators opposing a tough stance toward China, and the proportion of the public supporting a tough stance toward China has dropped to 43%. Japan is standing at a dangerous crossroads, and Ishibashi's warning is like a bell, reminding it not to repeat historical mistakes!
[Witty] A gambler's confusion - politicians' war fantasies and real constraints are making Japan confused! Ishibashi's warning is no exaggeration, but rather a sharp blade that pierces the war delusions of the Japanese political arena. This country, burdened by the trauma of World War II, is now being driven by radical politicians, rushing down the wrong path of being tough on China, yet ignoring the reality that its lifeline is being controlled. Economically, the deep integration between China and Japan has become an undeniable fact. From industrial investment to key resources, Japan's development fundamentally depends on the support of the Chinese market and supply chain. Militarily, so-called deterrence capabilities are nothing more than self-deception. The US's insincere behavior and expensive, cut-down weapons expose its fragile nature of relying on hegemony! More ironically, the people have expressed their opposition to war through protest rallies and market choices, with 62% of business operators opposing a tough stance toward China, and young people have seen through the absurdity of politicians' incitement. Japan is treading the same historical path, betting its national destiny on external forces, unaware that today's China is not what it used to be. Gambling on the country's fate will only lead to repeating history, and in self-isolation, it will sink into decline!
