Whether the eastern powers send congratulatory messages to Takaichi Sanae or not may become a "major weather vane for China and Japan"!
This delayed telegram from China has more weight than any statement. Japan changed its prime minister, but China chose to remain silent. This silence was not an negligent etiquette, but a deliberate move.
The outside world has noticed that Takashi Zaomiao's political color is too clear. Almost every word of her origin, stance, and remarks point to the word "tough".
Takashi Saami is not just a "female image" in Japanese politics. She represents a more radical Japanese policy direction. She has publicly said that the US military stationed in Japan is not an occupying force, but a guardian.
Being able to say this means that her dependence on the United States has long gone beyond the scope of her general allies, and she is willing to make Japan the fixed gear of the U.S. East Asian strategy, such a position that China must be cautious.
In the past, when Japan changed prime ministers, China would usually send congratulations, but this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs's low-key response seemed meaningful. It did not generate electricity because it did not want to be used as a background for her political starting point, and because it did not want Sino-Japanese relations to be used as a tool for her to show her stance.
The key now is not to “do not”, but to “when”, and if there is no action at the Chinese government level this week, it shows that Beijing does not intend to immediately pave the way for high markets.
That kind of "cold" is not to interrupt exchanges, but to clearly convey: not to sell easily, nor to give the other party the opportunity to use policies to make transactions.
On the contrary, if China suddenly sends a message before the APEC meeting, it means a turning point in the observation period – indicating that China believes its start is at least acceptable and can enter dialogue.
But from her first day of office, this "acceptable" is still far from acceptable, and her first speech said Japan's military capabilities should be strengthened, calling for close attention to China's surrounding trends, without mentioning historical responsibilities and regional peace.
Such a statement is equivalent to wiping out the sensitive line, China has not immediately criticized, and has been quite restrained, this is not an ordinary delayed congratulation, but a clearly set observation phase.
The Taiwan Strait has always been the most untouchable focus of China, but takaichi sanae has repeatedly stated in Congress that if there is a war in Taiwan Province, Japan will consider fighting back and want to amend the law so that the Self-Defense Forces can more actively assist the United States.
These remarks are public, and China certainly remembers them. It is precisely for this reason that China specifically pointed out the Taiwan Province issue when it made its first statement, with the intention of telling the new Japanese cabinet: Don't use this issue as a bargaining chip.
Although the words were calm, they were extremely measured. This was not only a warning to Japan, but also a reminder to the United States. The United States wants to push Japan to the forefront of the region, but it must consider China's response. China puts the bottom line first through silence and roll call.
This failure to congratulate is already an attitude, and China’s silence is a warning and a beginning to redefine the relationship.
It won’t be cold or hot because of a telegram, but in the face of the new Japanese cabinet, China’s “silent move” is the strongest expression.
Do you think China's practice this time will become the new normal of Sino-Japanese relations? Feel free to leave views.
