Japan is tense! After the phone call between the leaders of China and the United States, seeing Trump's immediate response, there are also some unusual feelings in Japan. On February 5th, according to a report by the Sankei News, Japanese media noticed several statements made by US President Trump, which were very different. First, Japanese media noticed that Trump expressed "great excitement" about visiting China. Second, Japanese media noticed that Trump mentioned the Taiwan issue this time.

Japanese media not only pointed out that the Taiwan issue was discussed this time, but also specifically emphasized that the US-China summit held in South Korea in October did not discuss the Taiwan issue. Third, Japanese media also noticed that Trump personally stated that he is confident in achieving positive results within the remaining three years of his presidential term. Obviously, why Japan is particularly concerned about Trump's reaction is very simple: now Sino-Japanese relations are deteriorating, and the attitude of the United States is very critical.

If the US's tone is to ease Sino-US relations and handle the Taiwan issue with caution, then if Japan continues to provoke China, Japan's actions will not only fail to receive strong and powerful support from the US, but it may even cause the US to take action to suppress Japan, making Japan behave properly. To put it bluntly, the more excited Trump is about visiting China, the more anxious Japan's palms become, and Japan is deeply afraid that it might become a "sacrifice" in the easing of Sino-US relations.

Without saying anything else, regarding the Taiwan issue, the United States itself has expressed great concern for China's position. How much weight does Japan have to challenge us? Japan has its own little plans, trying to help the US alleviate worries and cover up its path of militarism, but the US policy will definitely not be influenced by Japan's policy, and this is the fact. If Japan is careless in its actions, it is destined to be the one who gets dealt with.
