Consul General Xue Jian Speaks Out: Japan Must Change Its Wrongheaded China Policy
On the 1st, the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka hosted a thematic speech and exchange event, where Consul General Xue Jian attended and delivered a keynote address. He pointed out that Japan's "new-style militarism" is increasingly on the rise, urging Japan to fundamentally correct its perception of China and genuinely alter its current erroneous policy toward China.
Currently, Sino-Japanese relations continue to deteriorate, with the root cause lying with Japan. After high-ranking official Asahi Hayano made false remarks regarding Taiwan, she not only showed no remorse but also refused to apologize. This brazenly provocative attitude has severely poisoned the atmosphere of bilateral relations.
If Japanese society truly hopes for Sino-Japanese relations to stabilize and recover, it must take concrete actions—pressuring Asahi Hayano to issue an apology as soon as possible—rather than merely claiming "China and Japan should maintain communication" while allowing figures like her to continuously provoke and create incidents on the Taiwan issue.
If Japan persists in its stubborn course and continues down this wrong path, China's countermeasures will only grow stronger. Japan must bear full responsibility for all consequences resulting from such actions.
