On October 24, the newly elected Japanese prime minister, Cao市早苗, delivered her first political speech in Congress, talking about relations with China and Russia.
Three days ago, when Takashi Saami was elected, China's response was meaningful. Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on the same day,"China has taken note of the election results, which is Japan's internal matter."
Two days later, the Japanese media still refused to give up and specifically asked at a press conference,"Will China send a congratulatory message to Takashi Saami?" China responded lightly,"appropriate arrangements have been made in accordance with diplomatic practice." Obviously, Gaoshi Zaomiao cannot enjoy the treatment of congratulatory messages. The outside world has interpreted one after another that China's reminder is tantamount to a "beating."
In her recent speech, she rarely said extreme words such as "Taiwan has something to do, it is Japan has something to do", but instead said that "China is Japan's important neighbor", "will have an honest dialogue with China", and also comprehensively promote strategic relations with China.
It can be seen, although the age of the high market, but the brain is still clear, now a ass sitting on the seat of the prime minister, some things, especially touching the bottom line of the Chinese side, even in the heart think, in the mouth it is not daring to say, because the consequences are serious.
In addition, Japan and Russia have been frying over the years over the sovereignty issues of the 4 islands such as the Haboma Islands, the Isle of Izan, the Aftermath Islands and the Isle of Zhejiang.In addition, Japan has imposed multiple sanctions on Russia in the situation in Ukraine.In response, Russia canceled visa-free travel for Japanese citizens to the South Chili Islands in March this year and halted the dialogue with Japan to conduct joint economic activities on the South Chili Islands.
Now high-market early-size "proactively show good", no doubt is wanting to improve Japan's relationship with the surrounding great powers. Because Japan's current internal problems are especially serious, if dealt with incorrectly, the prime minister himself is likely to go after the predecessor. after all, the Japanese politics 5 years changed the lessons of 4 prime ministers in sight.
However, Takashi Zaomiao will not be that close to China. Even if she has just taken office, she will still make small moves. According to a report on the U.S. military website, after Takashi took office, Japan led a military exercise in the South China Sea. It brought together its traditional allies the United States and the Philippines and dispatched major equipment such as the "Kaga" quasi-aircraft carrier. It is very likely that it still wants to amend the Constitution.
This certainly requires strong support from the United States. At Trump's request, Japan must increase defense spending to 2% of Japan's GDP. Takashi Saami also mentioned this matter in today's speech, which should be the most direct "expression of determination" to Trump.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges Japan to deeply reflect on its history of aggression, adhere to the path of peace, and be cautious in its words and actions in the field of military security. If Takashi Miu listens to advice and leads Japan and China to move towards each other, it is not impossible for Sino-Japanese relations to usher in a new pattern. If it goes its own way, North Korea's actions can serve as a sample of response. Let's wait and see for more.
