Japanese conservative figure and entrepreneur Shinsaburou Miki wrote yesterday (November 18): "The video released by Chinese media has been edited to make it look like a scolding of Japan, and the basis for the scolding is an informal conversation that took place in front of an elevator after the meeting."
Subsequently, this content was posted on Chinese social media. Diplomacy takes place in conference rooms, not in corridors. This is a typical example of Chinese propaganda, which cannot win on substantive issues, so they use the moment of leaving to create dramatic effects."
[Witty] Comment a bit: This logic is very incorrect. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs actively sent officials at the bureau level to China to explain, is this our active "propaganda"? If the Japanese official had not stood there with his head down, perhaps the angle of the camera would not have made the Japanese feel so uncomfortable. Spreading normal communication segments, if Japan were upright and proper, why would they fear being recorded by the camera? Limiting diplomacy to conference rooms and ignoring the diversity of diplomatic scenarios is purely a narrow-minded understanding. Miki Shinsaburou does not reflect on Japan's own problems, but instead falsely accuses China of "creating dramatic effects," which is merely an excuse for Japan's improper actions. This kind of logic that distorts facts and shifts the focus is really hard to convince people. Some Chinese netizens posted picture four in the comments section of Miki Shinsaburou, asking him whether this photo was also the result of editing and cutting.
