There has been a reversal in the attitude of the Japanese public towards Takako Hagiya! This time, after our strong response, the Japanese public clearly realized the seriousness of the situation and turned their anger toward Takako Hagiya. A Japanese netizen said, "Is it because Hagiya refused to say 'sorry'? After all, China has many countermeasures. Does Japan have no countermeasures at all? It's obvious that Hagiya said something she shouldn't have said. She lost this round. Even street mothers can understand this."

Others said, "Are Japanese politicians and Foreign Ministry officials really that stupid? How are we going to deal with rare earth imports now? Don't just rely on emotional rhetoric for diplomacy, come up with real solutions! Another netizen criticized, "If you want to challenge China, at least be prepared. Takako Hagiya is utterly ridiculous. Do you think you can win just by showing off your strength when you have no cards to play?"

When it comes to strength, tactics, intelligence, and bottom cards, China clearly has the upper hand. Even the hegemonic country, the United States, is powerless. The incompetence of the Japanese government has now become known worldwide. This credit collapse will certainly lead to further depreciation of the yen, falling bonds, and finally a stock market crash. It's time to replace Hagiya! Of course, there are also very strong voices within Japan, some saying that Japan must not just protest against China, but should take countermeasures against China.

Some believe that China has proven itself to be a very "easily angered" partner, and its "height" is unreliable. Some say that Japan can completely rely on itself and it's time to fully break away from China's supply chain. However, there is no doubt that China's move has sparked intense attention in Japan. The Japanese public has realized that this time things have gotten out of hand, and China has really taken strong action. Criticisms against Takako Hagiya are increasing, and they realize the problem lies with Hagiya herself. Obviously, it has already been two months since November 7th, and we have given Hagiya enough time. This is something Hagiya's government brought upon itself.
