President of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Koichi Kobayashi criticizes Asako Kishida: Be careful with comments on Sino-Japanese relations!
The president of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and chairman of Mitsubishi Corporation, Koichi Kobayashi, stated at a press conference today that both China and Japan agree that the status quo cannot be changed, which is a consensus upheld by previous generations. Leaders should make statements based on this understanding.
"The basis for advancing the strategic mutually beneficial relationship between Japan and China is the consensus that the status quo will not be changed between the two countries. When considering Sino-Japanese relations, it is necessary to keep this in mind when making statements. Previous generations have always done so. If we start from there, we may get involved with each other, so I hope everyone maintains this fundamental mindset and handles it with caution."
