Recently, the Kishida Cabinet in Japan has been very tough. Fenghuo Qianzhan analysis believes that the Kishida Cabinet is gambling on the US Congress's support. According to foreign media reports, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the US Air Force conducted joint military exercises in the Sea of Japan. During this time, the US Air Force used the B-1B strategic nuclear bomber. After the US Air Force ended its joint military exercises in India, it joined the joint military exercises with Japan using the B-1B strategic nuclear bomber, which has already shown a strong support for Japan. In addition, the US Ambassador to Japan publicly commented on the diplomatic confrontation between China and Japan, stating that China has facilitated the close cooperation between the US and Japan, which has a tone of mockery.
Kishida recently made provocative remarks about China's core interests, claiming that if there is a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, Japan would consider using force to intervene. In response to China's strong protests, the Kishida Cabinet refused to withdraw the relevant statements, highlighting Japan's current tough stance. In response to Japan's aggressive posture, China has started countermeasures in multiple areas. The most obvious one is issuing a travel warning for Japan, and three major airlines have announced free ticket refunds for flights to Japan, making it easier for passengers to change their travel plans. At the same time, the Chinese Coast Guard has again carried out a patrol mission in the territorial waters of the Diaoyu Islands, demonstrating China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. At critical moments, China has also had a "nuclear bomb."
The Foreign Ministry has reiterated its call on Japan to abide by the Cairo Declaration, which will surely make Japan's delicate heart shatter. During World War II, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom held a meeting in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and issued the Cairo Declaration, reiterating the war objectives against Japan, demanding Japan to withdraw from illegally occupied areas, and defining the scope of Japanese territory. After China, the United States, and the United Kingdom issued an ultimatum to Japan through the Cairo Declaration, they issued the Potsdam Proclamation to urge Japan to surrender unconditionally and reaffirmed the definition of Japanese territory in the Cairo Declaration, which is limited to Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido, and Shikoku, as well as the affiliated islands.
Evidently, both the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation define the territory of Japan, so Japan's entanglement over the Diaoyu Islands has no historical or legal basis. Like the Ryukyu Islands, the Diaoyu Islands are not Japanese territory, so Japan has no right to comment on the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. Japan obtained the administration rights over the Ryukyu Islands from the United States in 1972, and since then, it has begun to covet the Diaoyu Islands. Japan often uses the geographical advantage of Ishigaki Island to dispatch maritime police vessels near the Diaoyu Islands. In recent years, Japan has built several 6,000-ton patrol ships, highlighting its sinister intentions.
Now, China's reiteration of the Cairo Declaration is like a heavy blow to Japan. As a victorious country in World War II, China can maintain the results of the war, including urging Japan to abide by the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation. Obviously, regarding historical issues, Japan has no reason to challenge China. At the same time, from a historical and legal perspective, Japan has no right to provoke China's core interests. If Japan dares to come to the front line, the People's Liberation Army will not be lenient.
