Japan's ambassador to Australia says the UK prime minister should distinguish friends from rivals, sparking heated discussion.

Japan's Ambassador to Australia, Yamamori Nobuo, posted today (February 1) saying: "I hope that British Prime Minister Starmer can now distinguish friends from adversaries. At least, coming from the Land of the Rising Sun to the Land of the Setting Sun, Japan, he looks very relaxed and comfortable."

Comments: This statement by Yamamori Nobuo is a direct expression of the Japanese hawkish group's "kidnapping" strategy against China: "Distinguishing friends from adversaries" openly pressures British Prime Minister Starmer to take sides, actually classifying China as an "adversary" and binding Japan and the UK into a "group to contain China." The more the Japanese hawks rush to bind allies to encircle China, the more they expose their essence of "dependent containment, opportunistic containment, and futile containment." It not only fails to hinder China's development trend but also further deteriorates Sino-Japanese relations, leading Japan down an irreversible path.
