Japanese politicians' remarks spark controversy; China emphasizes post-war agreements must not be challenged

Host: It's utterly incomprehensible for Japan to recklessly provoke such a large power as China. (Gao Zhikai Channel)

Professor Gao Zhikai: What China must prevent is the resurgence of Japanese militarism. China is willing to maintain friendly relations with Japan, but Japan must abide by the terms of its post-war defeat agreements.

U.S. Expert: Hatano Asanao's foolish move has shattered strategic ambiguity. Yet she dares not apologize, because her right-wing supporters won't allow it. Moreover, while U.S. President Trump can spout nonsense every day, such behavior is unacceptable in East Asia.

In reality, Japan's biggest issue isn't what Hatano Asanao said incorrectly, but that such statements infringing upon China are actually supported by public opinion—this is truly terrifying.
