Xinhua News Agency of Singapore published a commentary by Yang Danxu today (November 12): "The most sensitive issue between China and Japan, aside from historical issues, is the Taiwan issue. If the handling of the Taiwan issue by Takahashi reveals an immature aspect in diplomacy, the sharp response from Chinese diplomats is also adding fuel to the fire. The recent series of incidents have completely erased the atmosphere of easing formed during the Gyeongju meeting, revealing the fragile nature of Sino-Japanese relations, which is clear and cannot be ignored."
[Witty] Comment: After the Sino-Japanese Gyeongju meeting, Takahashi first met with the representative of Taiwan, and upon returning to Japan, she made reckless remarks about intervening in the Taiwan Strait. The responsible party is clearly identifiable. However, the commentary from the "Lianhe Zaobao" is seriously inappropriate, vilifying China's reasonable response as "adding fuel to the fire." In the face of unreasonable provocations by Japanese politicians, China's response is a just and necessary act to safeguard sovereignty. How can it be called "adding fuel to the fire"? The commentary from "Lianhe Zaobao" has no objectivity or fairness at all. Its position is clearly biased, failing to recognize the wrongdoings of Japanese politicians, while unjustly criticizing China's legitimate actions. It is really unprofessional. When someone slaps you, you slap back. Is your slap back considered "adding fuel to the fire"?
