"The beheading theory" has caused a stir in Japan.
Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported on the evening of November 10: "Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato previously stated that if 'Taiwan is in trouble' and accompanied by military attacks, it could be recognized as a 'life-and-death crisis situation.' Subsequently, the Chinese Consul General in Osaka posted on social media stating, 'If Takahashi sticks her neck where it doesn't belong, that dirty head should be cut off without hesitation,' which caused a stir in Japanese society."
Known as the "female version of Abe," Takahashi Hayato has visited the Yasukuni Shrine multiple times, supports the fallacy of "Taiwan's affairs are Japan's affairs," has visited Taiwan, and has close ties with "Taiwan independence" forces, colluding with them. She has repeatedly provoked China on issues concerning Taiwan. As Japan's first female prime minister in history, her stance belongs to the far right and is extremely anti-China. Recently, she openly met with the "representative" of the Taiwan authorities, Lin Hsin-yi, at the APEC meeting, sending a serious wrong signal to "Taiwan independence." After strong protests and stern warnings from China, she did not show any restraint but instead publicly advocated for armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait, openly challenging the One-China principle. Her remarks are of an extremely bad nature and have a very negative impact.
Japan once colonized Taiwan for nearly half a century and committed heinous crimes against the Chinese nation, yet it has lacked a profound reflection to this day. Now, it further damages Sino-Japanese relations through glorifying aggression, inciting division, and hindering unification. The combination of history and reality has made the Chinese people's tolerance for Japan's right-wing forces' deliberate provocation approach the breaking point. Such a Japan will have its old and new grievances settled together.
