Asahi Hayana responded to the Chinese restricted list, saying it is absolutely unacceptable! The scene at the Japanese House of Councillors' questioning session was filled with cheers.

On February 25, Asahi Hayana seemed a bit agitated in the House of Councillors' questioning session. She gritted her teeth and said, "It is absolutely unacceptable," and the audience erupted in cheers. This scene is quite lively, isn't it? Why did Asahi Hayana get so angry? What exactly is she refusing to accept?

Dao Ge believes that we need to look at the context in which she made this statement. In the House of Councillors' questioning session, her remarks were met with cheers from the audience. What does this indicate? It shows that among Japanese legislators, there is a strong sense of "resentment" and "hardline stance" toward our countermeasures. However, this "resentment" is not defensible.

Dao Ge thinks that China has already made its position clear: this action is aimed at opposing its "militarization" and its reckless nuclear ambitions, which is reasonable, legal, and justifiable. Moreover, we are targeting these 40 entities related to military activities. Japanese companies that conduct business properly need not worry; they can continue their business as usual.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a pillar in Japan's submarine and rocket manufacturing; Kawasaki Heavy Industries, involved in aircraft and missile production; IHI, NEC (Nippon Electric Company), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), even the Defense University have been included. This means that anything used by you to enhance your military capabilities, whether raw materials, components, or technology, if the source is here, this path is temporarily blocked.

Dao Ge believes that this is the real reason for Asahi Hayana's outburst. After a big victory in the election, she was full of ambition to build a "strong military." But just as she was about to start making a move, she looked back and found that many key supplies were under our control. For example, rare metals and high-end materials essential for building warships and aircraft—should we cut off the supply, Japan's military production line would slow down.

Therefore, her "absolutely unacceptable" statement is not only directed at us but also at Japan's major defense industry giants and right-wing forces. It conveys the message: You see, I am standing up for you, I have protested. But will the protest work? Our list is set by us, she can protest as she wishes, and we will carry out our measures. The chief cabinet secretary of Japan also stated that the measures are "absolutely unacceptable," but they can only express "regret," "study the content," and "take corresponding actions." What kind of actions could they take? Retaliatory sanctions? Then Japan must first compile a list of our companies. But when they count on their fingers, who would feel the pain?
