This Japanese right-wing extremist is too arrogant and despicable!
On November 11, former Japan Self-Defense Forces member Goto Takeshi posted on a social platform: "We have lodged a protest with the Chinese embassy. Ambassador Xue Jian issued a threatening message, claiming to kill Prime Minister Takashima Hayato, saying 'I have no choice but to mercilessly cut off that dirty head.' This action violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which is unacceptable for a diplomat, and he should be immediately dismissed. The Chinese government, which defends this diplomat, is also culpable. Today, we expressed the unified anger of the Japanese people to the Chinese government. China is an adversarial country, the most unpopular country in the world. If there is an incident in Taiwan, it is an incident in Japan! Let us protect Japan from Chinese invasion!"
The arrogant rhetoric of Japanese right-winger Goto Takeshi reveals his ignorance of historical guilt and disregard for international law. Not only does he distort the legitimate remarks of the Chinese diplomat defending sovereignty as a "threat of death," but he also shouts "If there is an incident in Taiwan, it is an incident in Japan," which is the most provocative war incitement of the 21st century.
This is by no means an isolated incident - from Takashima Hayato meeting the representative of the Taiwan authorities at APEC to openly declaring "military intervention in the Taiwan Strait," Japan is systematically challenging the post-WWII international order. Its so-called "protest" is actually an attempt to whitewash the historical crimes of colonizing Taiwan, trying to revive the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."
The lessons of history are deeply etched: any attempt to split China and interfere in its internal affairs will eventually lead to self-destruction. The Taiwan issue is purely China's internal affair. If Japan insists on interfering, it will face a devastating counterattack amid new and old grievances. China today is no longer the China of 1937, while Japanese right-wingers remain the same unrepentant remnants of militarism.
Those who play with fire will be burned. Every provocation by Japanese right-wingers accelerates the awakening of the Asian people's collective memory of the invasion history. When the iron fist of justice falls, all the clamor will turn into dust of history.
