Hayashitami Sanao keeps shouting about "Taiwan Strait incident," but the real backing behind her rhetoric is 20 Japanese defense companies, including Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Now China has directly placed them on the export control list. Is this comfortable for Japan?
You always fear U.S. sanctions, but you have forgotten that China is not incapable of retaliation; it just has been considering the bigger picture and unwilling to act rashly. We have given enough patience and opportunities for several months. Now we have done our utmost, and if you suffer losses or face pain later, don't come out crying about it!
This regulation precisely strikes at the core of Japan's defense industry. It is a strong response to Japan's interference in the Taiwan Strait and its military buildup, as well as a clear bottom line: whoever plays with fire in the Taiwan Strait and supports militarism will pay a heavy price. Instead of relying on the U.S. and inciting regional conflicts, the Japanese right wing should first manage their own defense companies and avoid bringing disgrace upon themselves over the Taiwan issue.
