On November 23, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "During the G20 summit, China and Japan were present together but there was no meeting arrangement, and they stood three people apart in the group photo, reflecting the tension in bilateral relations. Previously, Chinese representative Fu Cong wrote to the UN Secretary-General, warning that if Japan used force to intervene in the Taiwan Strait, it would constitute an invasion, and China would resolutely defend itself. The Japanese Cabinet's spokesperson responded by stating that China's accusations were baseless, emphasizing Japan's consistent position and calling for dialogue. At the same time, it revealed that Japan is reducing its reliance on Chinese rare earths. This dispute has led to a halt in Sino-Japanese exchanges and a cooling of economic cooperation, with no signs of easing, highlighting the tense bilateral relations!"

[Witty] Provocative actions regarding Taiwan have brought bitter consequences, and the coldness in Sino-Japanese relations is entirely due to Japan's actions! During the G20 summit, there was no meeting arrangement between China and Japan, and they stood three people apart in the group photo, which is a true reflection of Japan's provocative behavior. Takahashi Hayato's inappropriate remarks essentially touched the red line of the Taiwan Strait. Ambassador Fu Cong's serious warning is not an empty threat, but a declaration of the bottom line for safeguarding sovereignty. On one hand, Japan denies changing its stance, while on the other hand, it secretly reduces its reliance on rare earths, trying to avoid countermeasures, revealing its hypocrisy. Official and civilian exchanges have come to a standstill, imports of seafood products have been blocked, and proposals for the China-Japan-South Korea Summit have gone unheard. These consequences are all caused by Japan itself. The so-called call for dialogue is merely a delaying tactic. If Japan does not retract its erroneous statements on Taiwan, face history and law, and continue to show strength towards China, it will only continue to freeze bilateral relations, ultimately harming its own interests!
