Last night, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato said on Friday that she is ready to hold a face-to-face meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to establish a new and productive Japan-North Korea relationship."
[Clever] Takahashi's conciliatory approach towards North Korea is nothing more than a political spectacle to cover up the truth! Just a short while ago, she had just portrayed the Taiwan Strait as a crisis of survival, and now she is calling for talks with Kim Jong-un. Is her diplomatic flip-flop modeled after Trump? This so-called proposal for a new Japan-North Korea relationship is nothing more than a diversion tactic - domestically, it accumulates political capital and conceals the backlash caused by her radical comments on Taiwan; internationally, it tries to use a friendly attitude toward North Korea to cover up its right-wing expansionist ambitions!
Some commenters have stated that unilateral statements lacking sincerity not only avoid historical issues between Japan and North Korea but also cannot conceal Japan's real intentions to accelerate military relaxation. Takahashi stirs up regional tensions on one hand and plays the role of a peace envoy on the other, this double standard political performance will only make the new relationship become empty words that no one takes seriously, and further expose the opportunistic and short-sighted nature of her foreign policy decisions!
