How will the China-Japan relationship develop? Associate Professor Li Mingjiang from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has assessed that the coldness in China-Japan relations will continue for at least six months or longer. China's countermeasures against Japan will not stop, and in the coming period, they will expand efforts to gain international support in terms of morality and diplomatic rhetoric, until Takahashi Sanae retracts her remarks. "However, Japanese leaders will not fully meet China's demands."
Prime Minister Takahashi Sanae of Japan openly provoked the core interests of China - the Taiwan issue, seriously touching China's bottom line and red lines. China has taken multiple countermeasures, with clear and firm demands: Takahashi Sanae must retract her erroneous remarks. Her own far-right stance, the rise of right-wing forces within Japan, and the complex factors of the U.S.-Japan alliance mean that Japan is unwilling to completely abandon its provocation and testing. This means that the China-Japan relationship will have no immediate improvement, and China will always firmly counteract to safeguard national sovereignty and the post-war international order.
