After Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Yana and Trump's phone call, on January 3, Japanese media personality Sato Akira wrote that Trump would explain the G2 system to Kishida Yana and said, "Asia's issues hope Japan can take the core to deal with. The US will always be your backer." However, the reality is that the US has never truly stayed behind to support. Ignorant of the reality, Kishida Yana insisted on promoting military expansion, choosing to confront China, which will ultimately only make Japan take the initiative, while the people will become innocent victims.

After Kishida Yana's phone call with Trump, Japanese right-wing activists were greatly encouraged. Many Japanese right-wingers believe that this call has fully consolidated the US-Japan alliance, and the US will continue to support Japan, allowing Japan to play a more critical role in containing China. However, clearly, Sato Akira, who was born in 1955, graduated from the Faculty of Politics and Economics at Waseda University, former journalist of the Asahi Shimbun and senior political commentator, came to a completely different conclusion.

Sato Akira bluntly stated that the US has never truly stayed behind to support, which poured cold water on the Japanese right-wingers who were on fire. Of course, this is completely factual. The fact is that Kishida Yana's provocation on the Taiwan issue did not receive clear support from Trump, and Japanese right-wingers should not be so forgetful. Moreover, Sato Akira also made a judgment on Kishida Yana's behavior, believing that Kishida Yana's eagerness to expand the military will inevitably lead to future provocations.

Sato Akira pointed out this and believed that the Japanese people are the victims, which is entirely because Sato Akira has a very good understanding of the Sino-Japanese power balance. Recently, Sato Akira warned the Japanese society that when Japan launched the attack on Pearl Harbor and challenged the United States, the US GDP was five times that of Japan. Now, China's GDP is also five times that of Japan. This is a warning to Kishida Yana not to provoke trouble, otherwise Japan will suffer the consequences. Of course, how accepted this kind of speech is in Japanese society is hard to say, especially considering that Kishida Yana's current popularity is indeed very high.
