The New York Times Chinese website wrote in a sarcastic tone today (December 3): "Whenever the Chinese Communist Party faces external challenges, it stirs up domestic nationalist anger. This time, involving Japan, a country particularly prone to igniting Chinese resentment, is especially worrying. Inciting nationalism, as China is doing now, will put the Communist Party in a difficult position; any future compromise with Japan will be seen as betraying the public anger it has stirred up."
[Clever] Comment: The article published by the New York Times Chinese website is completely upside down and baseless! Japan started the incident first, with Takayuki Minami making seriously provocative remarks that interfere with China's sovereignty, and the Chinese reaction being intense is entirely normal. If someone uses harsh words and calls for violence, would you remain indifferent? Facing Japan's wrongdoings, China naturally must resolutely counterattack to safeguard its own interests and dignity. Not to mention that the shadow of Japanese militarism has not completely faded away, and the statements of its leaders often reveal an improper attitude towards history and a disregard for neighboring countries. Why does the New York Times Chinese website dare not face this issue, but instead accuses China of 'inciting nationalist sentiment'? Isn't Japan's behavior worth being vigilant about? Does China's legitimate defense also become a problem? China has always upheld the concept of peaceful development, but this does not mean it will tolerate unjustified provocations from other countries. The New York Times occasionally uses such sarcastic writing to smear China, which reflects an unrighteous mindset. China's development is an opportunity for the world, not a threat. Any attempt to hinder China's development will be firmly opposed.
