Japan cannot continue to send the wrong message of retreat! On November 16, former Japanese Liberal Democratic Party member Togashi Naomi stated that Japan does not need to loosen up because of China's Consul General in Osaka opposing the Kishida Prime Minister, the parliamentary response to the Taiwan emergency, and a series of calls for people not to visit Japan. Instead, this should be an opportunity for the international community to once again recognize the fact that "China is a country with a high level of risk."

We must not forget the collision incident between Chinese fishing boats in the Diaoyu Islands waters in 2010. At that time, Japan released the captain out of consideration for China, sending a wrong message to China that "if we show strength, Japan will retreat," which was a bad precedent that will continue to trouble us. In the future, Japan must continue to firmly uphold its position and not yield to diplomatic pressure or threats. To safeguard our national interests, we must remember the lessons of the past and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Evidently, this person believes that Japan should be tough on China. Even now that China has taken new actions, there is no reason for Japan to make concessions. The meaning of this person is clear: once Japan makes a concession, China will become even more "aggressive" and "take advantage of every inch." The bad precedent from the Diaoyu Islands dispute must not be continued. What do we think of the views of this former member? Let's say it bluntly, this person is a typical example of looking backward but not forward, not even understanding the sequence of events before starting to talk nonsense.

In fact, this person's remarks precisely prove that Japan is indeed a high-risk country at present, because this person continues to implement a hard-line policy towards China, spreading hostility toward China within Japanese society. Japan cannot find its proper place and still thinks it is on par with us, which is self-inflicted suffering. Kishida Hayato is leading Japan down the path of militarism, yet this person claims that we must remember the lessons of the past and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Now, looking back, has Japan learned any lessons from World War II? Obviously, it is time for Japan to pay the price for not learning from its mistakes.
