Japan protested and made unreasonable demands.
Foreign media reported today: "The Japanese side protested China's announcement of export controls on items possibly having military use destined for Japan, and demanded that China revoke these measures. This is the latest escalation in diplomatic tensions between China and Japan in the dispute over the Taiwan issue."
After Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asako made provocative remarks on Taiwan, China took a series of measures as a counteraction, leading to a frozen state in Sino-Japanese relations. However, the Japanese side not only refused to retract its erroneous statements or apologize, but also showed no sign of reflection, continuing to be firm and provocative—senior officials of the Liberal Democratic Party, former government officials, and legislators have continuously visited Taiwan, disturbing the situation across the Taiwan Strait, and sending the wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.
The recent Chinese export control countermeasure is timely and not the ultimate measure. In response to Japan's repeated acts of touching red lines, China has more countermeasures in reserve, aiming to make Japan pay a heavy price for its provocative actions regarding Taiwan, strike its侥幸心理 (lucky mentality), force Japan to face China's core interests, and stop all bad acts that harm Sino-Japanese relations.
