On November 7, Japanese new Prime Minister Sanae Takeda hinted that "if there is a situation in Taiwan, it would be a matter for Japan" during a speech in the Diet.

In this week, China and Japan have engaged in multiple rounds of confrontation on this issue, with public opinion reaching a boiling point.

After some time of bullets flying, the Chinese official finally took action yesterday.

The response from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson was quite lengthy and contained a lot of information. To make it easier for everyone to read, I will not copy it all here but only interpret the essential content after removing diplomatic jargon.

"Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeda recently made explicit provocative remarks about Taiwan in the Diet, implying the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. After China expressed serious negotiations and strong protests, she still persisted in her stance and refused to withdraw."

This passage shows that Takeda is set in her anti-China position, and Sino-Japanese relations are bound to experience a series of confrontations and shocks during her tenure.

Of course, Sino-Japanese relations have not been good for many years, and even getting worse is not a big deal.

For many Chinese people, there is a small hope that Japan would dare to challenge China, hoping they wouldn't back down.

If Sino-Japanese relations are good, we might not be able to deal with them easily. Only when Sino-Japanese relations are damaged by these far-right forces can we deal with them without any constraints.

"Roughly interfering in China's internal affairs, challenging China's core interests, and infringing on China's sovereignty, China firmly opposes and does not tolerate this. The Japanese side must immediately correct their actions, retract their offensive statements, otherwise all consequences must be borne by the Japanese side."

From this sentence, you can see the anger of the Chinese side and its firm attitude.

Especially the statement "must immediately correct and retract the offensive statements" is quite unusual.

A major country saying 'must' is an absolute statement, which means it must follow through on its words and act accordingly.

If Takeda does not take back her 'excrement', the Chinese side has actions to take - "all consequences must be borne by the Japanese side".

This indicates that if Takeda continues to be stubborn, the Chinese side will definitely have corresponding actions.

I personally think that we will most likely take action on the Okinawa issue.

If China really wants to make Japan suffer, there are many ways, and Okinawa is just one of them.

After World War II, the United Nations defined Japan's territory as only four areas. How many islands outside of their own does Japan currently occupy?

Previously, people didn't say anything, so they thought the world didn't know. It was just that people didn't want to bring it up.

Now that the relationship has been broken, the Chinese, a world power, will talk about the issue of Japan's territory. I believe another world power, Russia, will also be very interested, and many countries will be willing to use this issue as a leverage to extort Japan.

"Today, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeda mentioned again the so-called 'crisis of survival', what is her real intention? Is she trying to repeat the mistakes of militarism? Is she again wanting to be enemies with the Chinese people and Asian people? Is she trying to subvert the post-war international order?"

This sentence is quite harsh, going beyond just attacking the person.

After the end of World War II, the Japanese have always presented themselves as a peaceful image and a model student of the international community, and even convinced themselves of it.

"Is she trying to repeat the mistakes of militarism?" and "Is she trying to subvert the post-war international order?" These two sentences are very targeted, revealing the true face of Japan.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone's face or expose their secrets. We are hitting the Japanese face and exposing their secrets, without any hesitation.

Think about it, we are telling the Japanese what they have hidden in their hearts, and they will certainly be angry but unable to retaliate.

I personally think that this part should not be hidden in the official response of the Foreign Ministry, as it is easy to miss if not read carefully.

That's why I have interpreted this part in great detail.

Our officials and media should take this part and do more articles.

We need to remind the Japanese that they are a disgraceful defeated country of World War II, and the post-war international order is built upon defeating Japanese fascism.

Takeda's provocation on the Taiwan issue is preparing to reverse the results of the victory in World War II, and it is attempting to return to militarism.

"If the Japanese side dares to militarily intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, it will constitute an act of aggression, and China will surely strike back! We will resolutely exercise the right of self-defense granted by the UN Charter and international law, and firmly safeguard our national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

This sentence is decisive, clearly informing Japan of the consequences of intervening in the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

This expression may still seem unsatisfactory to some people. I understand the feelings of the public, most Chinese people hope to use this opportunity to eliminate Japan, solving this thousand-year-old problem once and for all.

Please think carefully, the meaning of the Foreign Ministry is essentially that, but the diplomatic language is too polite to be direct.

This sentence defines Japan's military intervention in the Taiwan Strait as an act of aggression, so the way to fight against the aggression and how the war will be conducted will not be determined by Japan's will.

Japan can start a war, but it cannot decide when or where the war will end.

Take the Second World War as an example, it did not end with Japan withdrawing from the Pacific battlefield or the Chinese battlefield.

If Japan really dares to take military risks on the Taiwan issue, I believe most Chinese people are willing to sacrifice everything to sink Japan, and continue fighting until Japan completely surrenders.
