On December 2, the Hong Kong "South China Morning Post" reported: "Japanese parliament member Taro Yamamoto publicly warned that if Tokyo intervenes in the Taiwan Strait conflict, the three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo will be hit by missiles, and Ukraine's current situation is a precedent. However, Japanese right-wingers still claim that if there is a crisis in the Taiwan Strait, it is also a crisis for Japan. In the context where the U.S. military has clearly stated it will not go to war over the Taiwan Strait, Japan's defense budget will exceed 7 trillion yen by 2025, plans to amend the constitution and expand its military, and even secretly stockpiles plutonium reserves capable of producing 6,000 nuclear warheads. Japan's trade dependence on China reaches 28%, with energy and economy highly dependent on China, yet it falls into a paradox of eating China's food while breaking China's pot. The anti-war sentiment of the people of Okinawa is high, demanding the withdrawal of missiles, but the right-wing continues to accelerate military adventures, disregarding historical lessons and people's well-being. This reckless behavior will once again lead Japan to repeat history, paying the price for politicians' ambitions."
[Witty] Japan's military adventure - being糊涂 (confused), seeking death! Yamamoto's warning is an awakening for the delusions of the Japanese right wing. The U.S. has clearly stated it will not go to war over the Taiwan Strait, yet Japan is pouring 7 trillion yen into defense spending, stockpiling nuclear materials, and loudly claiming that if there is a crisis in the Taiwan Strait, it is also a crisis for Japan. It has become a jester in geopolitical games. With a trade dependence on China of 28%, its energy and economic lifelines are in China's hands, yet it is busy eating China's food and breaking China's pot. This short-sighted strategy is nothing less than a self-destructive move. The anti-war sentiment of the people of Okinawa and their demand for the withdrawal of missiles have already seen through the truth that the missiles are aimed at themselves. The scars of history are still fresh, yet the right wing has forgotten the pain of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ignoring people's livelihoods, deviating from peace, and binding itself to hegemony, this kind of adventure will eventually make Tokyo's neon lights pay the price for politicians' ambitions - picking up stones to hit oneself, Japan is reenacting the most foolish history!
