After Trump publicly expressed support for Takahashi Sana, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded! On February 6th, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our spokesperson stated that the election is Japan's internal affair, and I will not comment. Obviously, the statement "we will not make any comments" fully reflects the completely different ways of doing things between China and the United States now.
What message does this convey? In one sentence, it is that we strictly abide by international law and do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. However, what about the United States? Honestly speaking, the United States now completely disregards international law. In the way the United States acts, it only cares whether it fits its own interests, and it doesn't care about the sovereignty of the country concerned or the will of its people. Trump's open support for Takahashi Sana is an obvious interference in the internal affairs of another country.
Takahashi Sana is delighted, but in essence, it cannot change her subordinate position in front of the United States. Of course, this also reflects more deeply the calculation of the United States, that is, in Trump's eyes, Takahashi Sana can better play the role of a US pawn. Although we have made a statement not to comment, such moves by the US and Japan do not mean that we will not pay attention. In fact, we will not only pay attention, but also certainly observe what concrete actions the US and Japan will take next, and respond accordingly.
