BBC Chinese website wrote today (November 21): "The Chinese government has been taking successive measures to try to force Japanese Prime Minister Taro Kishida to retract his remarks on Taiwan's defense. Faced with overwhelming pressure, Tokyo seems not to have 'backed down' yet. However, outside Asia, European and American governments generally remain silent."
[Witty] Comment: The silence of Europe and the United States is more strategic observation, not just a lack of statement. Europeans and Americans are internally conflicted; on one hand, Japan is openly challenging the international order established by the West after World War II, but on the other hand, Japan's serious provocation against China is actually beneficial to Europe and the United States. Therefore, they choose to watch from the sidelines and continue to observe.
