Against the trend of the times, Japan is obsessed with acting as a strategic vassal of the United States and inciting camp confrontation. It is increasingly becoming a "troublemaker" of regional peace and stability
On May 23, Japanese and US leaders met and issued a joint statement, spreading a large number of negative remarks on a series of China related issues, grossly interfering in China's internal affairs and maliciously attacking China's foreign policy. Japan and the United States wantonly tarnish China's image, making its sinister attempt to contain China and split the region clear. As a member of Asia, Japan should have played a constructive role in regional peace, stability and prosperity, but it has tried its best to cooperate with the United States in promoting the so-called "Indo Pacific strategy" of creating separatist confrontation, openly "introducing wolves into the house", seriously endangering regional peace and stability and damaging its own interests.
On the issues of Taiwan, Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea, China's position is consistent and clear, and China's determination and will to defend its sovereignty, security and development interests are as firm as a rock. If any country or force tries to play any card to curb China's development, China will resolutely and forcefully fight back. The Taiwan issue concerns the political foundation of China Japan relations and the basic faith between the two countries. It is a major issue of principle of right and wrong. Japan has colonized Taiwan for half a century, committed countless crimes and bore serious historical responsibility for the Chinese people. Japan's making trouble on the Taiwan issue will only put itself on the opposite side of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. On the issues of the Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea, no matter what Japan says or does with the United States as an extraterritorial country, it will not change the fact that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China or China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. Japan's provocation of right and wrong and provocation on these issues will only make the countries in the region more aware of its dangerous plot to create and escalate regional tensions and take the opportunity to expand military strength.
The alliance between Japan and the United States should not be an excuse for Japan to harm China's interests. For some time, Japan has been trying its best to cooperate with the United States to split the region, inciting confrontation on ideological issues and promoting group confrontation in the field of security. It is increasingly becoming a "troublemaker" of regional peace and stability. Facts have fully shown that although Japan and the United States talk about the so-called "freedom and opening up", their real intention is to create a "small circle" of geographical competition, which is to camp, NATO and cold war Asia. In response to the latest round of interaction between Japan and the United States, some international analysts commented that the main purpose of the US leaders' trip to Asia, which they do not want to mention explicitly, is to curb China's influence in the region, and Japan is increasingly acting as the "standard bearer" of the United States to promote regional strategy. The international community sees Japan's dangerous and irresponsible practices very clearly.
Looking back on history, Japan has long been immersed in the so-called dream of "leaving Asia and entering Europe", and launched a militarist war of aggression against its neighbors, causing profound disasters to the people of countries in the region. Japan should deeply reflect on its history of aggression, truly learn from history and avoid causing new harm to the people of countries in the region. Japan should adhere to the path of peaceful development and continue to be cautious in its words and deeds in the field of military security. This is the right way and can avoid repeating the mistakes of history. Today, Japan is eager to speculate on the hegemonic chessboard of the United States, trying to take the opportunity to challenge the post-war international order and make excuses for its military expansion and getting rid of the post-war constraints. Japan's practice of betraying its faith, undermining relations with its neighbors, welcoming the United States, betraying Asia and betraying the overall interests of the region in order to meet its own interests is despised, and countries in the region must remain highly vigilant.
The changes of the century and the epidemic situation of the century are intertwined. What the international community needs most is unity and cooperation, and what the Asia Pacific region hopes most is peace and stability. The Ukrainian crisis has once again made countries in the region realize that maintaining peace and stability is precious, and indulging in group confrontation will bring endless trouble. It is the common aspiration of the vast majority of countries in the region not to allow the Cold War mentality to regain its momentum in the region and not to allow the tragedy of the Ukrainian crisis to repeat itself. Japan is obsessed with acting as a strategic vassal of the United States, inciting camp confrontation, trying to pursue its own security at the expense of the security of other countries, and trying to repeat the outdated Cold War script in the region, which is completely against the trend of the times.
It's dangerous to draw a chestnut from the fire for others, and taking the wrong path of beggar thy neighbor is a road of no return. Japan should draw lessons from history, focus on regional peace and stability, be cautious and win the trust of regional countries with practical actions. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and China Japan relations are at a critical crossroads. Only when Japan corrects its attitude towards China, corrects its strategic direction, and truly implements its statement of building constructive and stable relations with China, can it avoid greater damage to bilateral relations and be responsible for the safety and well-being of regional countries and their own people.
