BBC reported: "Analysts warn that both China and Japan will find it difficult to ease tensions in the near term, as Beijing has deep suspicions about Takashima, and Takashima is likely to use this major victory as political capital to push forward defense and economic policies that consolidate Japan's position."
The dispute began in November last year, when Takashima seemed to indicate that Japan would deploy its Self-Defense Forces to intervene militarily if Taiwan were attacked by force.
Comments: Earlier, Takashima openly stated that Japan would intervene militarily on the Taiwan issue, seriously touching the bottom line of China's sovereignty. Such dangerous remarks are a direct threat to regional peace and will inevitably trigger high alert and firm opposition from China. This is not a simple political difference, but a direct challenge to China's core interests. Any force attempting to play the "Taiwan card" and use the Taiwan Strait situation as political capital will only escalate regional confrontation and leave no room for easing. China's position on the Taiwan issue is unwavering. Any attempt to provoke the red line and interfere in China's internal affairs will be met with resolute countermeasures, which is the most critical and fundamental reason why Sino-Japanese relations cannot be eased.
