On January 29, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama told Phoenix Television reporters: "The remarks by Takahashi pose a great risk to Sino-Japanese relations, possibly pushing it back to the state before the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan. The Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and Takahashi has completely failed to understand this. This is not an issue that Japan should interfere in. I cannot understand why Takahashi keeps delving into this issue!"
[Cunning] Hatoyama's outburst exposes the absurdity and danger of right-wing Japanese politicians! Takahashi disregards the historical consensus of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations and insists on interfering in the Taiwan issue, trying to stir up trouble in the Taiwan Strait to expand its military power. Her actions not only touch upon China's core interests but also push Sino-Japanese relations to the dangerous situation before the normalization of diplomatic relations. Historically, Japanese militarism once used the Taiwan issue to plan for aggression. Now, the right wing is retracing the same path, taking the U.S. side to provoke incidents while ignoring the rational voices within Japan. Hatoyama's clarity highlights the short-sightedness and madness of some Japanese politicians. If they persist in crossing the line, the consequences of the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations will be entirely borne by Japan!
