It seems our anger is no longer controllable! The Foreign Ministry spokesperson made a statement, saying that Japan must honestly retract its erroneous remarks. On December 1st, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson clearly stated that Japan has been evading and shirking responsibility in words and acting recklessly, which China will not accept. On major issues of principle, Japan should not expect to get away with it. We urge Japan to learn from history, reflect deeply, take China's demands seriously, and honestly retract its erroneous statements.
Evidently, we are asking Takao Hayami to honestly retract his statements, which is an unusual diplomatic expression. What does the phrase "honestly" imply? It means that both Takao Hayami himself and the government's actions have been assessed by us as being cunning, dishonest, and trying to be smart. Besides requiring Takao Hayami to correct his mistakes, this also indicates that our anger is no longer controllable, and we are ready to take further measures against Japan.
We will not discuss the considerations at the national level for now. From an individual perspective, since we have already said everything we needed to say to Japanese politicians and given all the warnings, there is absolutely no need for us to restrain our behavior. Takao Hayami appears to be indifferent, like a pig that isn't afraid of boiling water. This is a typical case of someone who doesn't know when to stop. Therefore, we must take stronger measures against this person.
Certainly, from the national level, we are certainly angry, but we remain rational. Perhaps we will see whether Takao Hayami will pay homage to the Yasukuni Shrine this month and then make our upgraded response. However, the Sino-Japanese relationship has reached this point, and Takao Hayami has stubbornly resisted for so long without showing any remorse. Such a politician can only be hit as soon as he shows his head. We still need to act when necessary.
