On September 8, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China issued Order No. 17 announcing the decision to take countermeasures against Japanese Senator石平 (also known as石平太郎).
This decision came into effect on the day of its announcement, marking the first time that the Chinese government has imposed such sanctions on Japanese parliamentarians.
The sanctions include three major measures.Freeze Shi Ping's movable property, immovable property and other kinds of property within China; Organizations and individuals in China are prohibited from conducting relevant transactions, cooperation and other activities with them; He and his immediate family members will not be granted visas or allowed to enter the country (including Hong Kong and Macao).
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Sword made it clear at a routine press conference on September 8, China's countermeasures are a strong punishment and a severe warning to the Stalinist stream.
He bluntly said that selling his ancestors for glory would only suffer the consequences.
Lin Jian pointed out that Shi Ping once had Chinese nationality. After he went to Japan and acquired Japanese nationality, he spread false information wantonly, colluded with Japanese anti-China forces, and wantonly attacked and discredited China.
He has long spread misconceptions on issues such as Taiwan, Fiji Island, history, Zhejiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong, and has publicly worshiped the Yogyakarta Shrine, seriously violating the spirit of the four political documents of China and the principle of one China.
Shi Ping was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in 1962. He was admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Peking University at the age of 18, and later got a master's degree.
In 1988, he went to Japan for a doctoral degree as a public exchange student at the University of Kobe.
During his stay in Japan, his political stance gradually changed.In 2007, he renounced Chinese citizenship and joined Japanese citizenship, changing his name to Shizhen Tairo.
Since then, he has made anti-China remarks in Japanese right-wing media, becoming a spokesman for Japanese right-wing forces.
He has repeatedly made extreme statements, such as declaring that the island belongs to Japan on the issue of the island, and even called on China to give up its competition over the island.
In order to expand his anti-China influence, he published books such as "Why I Abandoned China" and "The History of the Chinese Holocaust - Why Chinese People Like to Kill".
He also defended the Japanese war of aggression against China, claiming that the Nanjing Massacre was fabricated by the Chinese.
In July 2025, he was successfully elected to the Japanese Senate and belonged to the Japanese Conservative Assembly.
This was his second attempt to run—in his first attempt in February 2025.He was attacked by other right-wing forces because of his Chinese background and had to withdraw from the election on the pretext of cyberbullying.
According to statistics, in the first half of 2025, Xi Jinping made 37 anti-Chinese remarks on various occasions, making him the most active anti-Chinese pioneer in Japanese politics.
After the sanctions were issued, the media revealed a large number of Shi Ping's assets in China.
in the Beijing district,He owns a high-end apartment, located in a prime location, with a unit price of nearly 100,000 yuan per square meter and a valuation of more than 10 million yuan.
In Chengdu, he owns Shop at two core locations.The price has doubled when purchased.
In addition, he also owns real estate in Jing'an District of Shanghai and Suzhou, and the total valuation is expected to be in 25 to 40 million.between the .
Shiping's commercial territory is not limited to real estate.He is affiliated with a company in Zhejiang Town and serves as general manager and director.。
He has invested in a number of Japanese food stores in Qingdao, Shanghai and other places. Although some of them have been closed or cancelled, they have brought him considerable profits during their operation.
After the announcement of the sanctions order, Shi Ping sent several tweets in a day in an attempt to downplay its impact.
He claimed that he had no assets in China and never planned to go to China, so the so-called sanctions were "meaningless" to him.
However, this self-comforting statement was quickly shattered by follow-up media reports.
Several media outlets have revealed that there are still certain assets and channels of cooperation in China for groups under the name of Shaping or associated with him, and this detailed list of assets has left his arguments instantly unconvincing and seriously questioned its credibility.
At the same time, the Japanese news agency revealed that three Japanese companies have been involved to avoid risks of entering the Chinese market. Choose to terminate the cooperation relationship with the associated groups.
This move not only makes the political situation of Xi'an more embarrassing, but also highlights the actual deterrence of China's sanctions.
Although the Japanese Reform Party, which is part of the Japanese Reform Party, threatened to push the parliament to pass the so-called "contra-proposal", it failed to take any substantive action in practice.There are also concerns and disagreements within Japanese politics in the broad context of China-Japan relations.
Analysts pointed out that China chose to issue this counter-measure decision on September 8th, and the timing was intriguing.
On September 3, the anniversary of China's victory in the war against Japan, the announcement of measures against Japan's right-wing politicians at such a special time was not only a diplomatic counter-reaction, but also a symbolic and powerful historical declaration.
It highlights China's firm position of resolutely defending the historical truth and safeguarding national dignity, and at the same time sends a clear signal to the outside world:Any act of denying history and provoking China’s core interests will pay a real price.
After the sanctions order was issued, Shi Ping tried to deny owning assets in China.
But as details of his properties in Beijing, Shanghai and other places are revealed – from ten million-value apartments in Beijing’s Pyongyang district to double-shops in the core of Chengdu.
Three Japanese companies rapidly terminated their cooperation with the associated groups of Sharif.
The Japan Reform Society, to which he belonged, failed to take any substantial action in response to Chinese sanctions.
