Hayashi Asami has spoken with Trump! Hayashi Asami is eager to prove that the United States is supporting Japan! On November 25, according to domestic media reports, Japanese Prime Minister Hayashi Asami answered questions from reporters at the Prime Minister's Office, stating that she had called President Trump. Trump explained the recent matters related to US-China relations, including the telephone conversation between the leaders of the United States and China the day before.
Hayashi Asami claimed that she had reconfirmed the close cooperation between Japan and the United States with Trump, and Trump also said that he and I are very close friends, and I am always welcome to call him. In addition, Hayashi Asami did not reveal much more information. Obviously, from Hayashi Asami's response, it is clear that Hayashi Asami wants to use this to indicate that the United States supports Japan. However, from our perspective, this phone call is still worth thinking about.
That is, if Trump is really supporting Japan at this moment, Hayashi Asami should explain the details of the United States supporting Japan. If this is just a superficial gesture, we believe that there will be subsequent actions within Japan. These subsequent actions include: first, Hayashi Asami will handle the Sino-Japanese dispute in Japan internally, and will not take any actions against us. Second, Japan will not see any obvious military expansion in the short term. Third, Japan will not mention any words related to Taiwan again in the short term.
Certainly, from our point of view, if Hayashi Asami does not withdraw her malicious remarks, we will have further actions. There is no room for compromise on the Taiwan issue. In fact, regarding the actions of the United States, we do not deserve to trust them. The United States will not give up the option of using the Taiwan card. Even if the United States temporarily communicates with Japan, it will still change back and forth later. Therefore, the most important thing is to carry out a deterrent countermeasure against Japan's provocative behavior, making Japan understand the cost of provocation. As for how the United States and Japan coordinate, we cannot have high expectations.
