Recently, there has been a lively incident in Japanese politics: It has been three days since Takashi Saami became prime minister, and she has been waiting for a congratulatory message from China. She is so anxious that not only she is angry, but even Japanese reporters can't help but "press" at the press conference of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs-will this congratulatory message be sent?

If we look ahead, previous Japanese prime ministers didn't get this treatment. Let's say that on the day Shigeru Ishiba was elected last year, he received two congratulatory messages from us that day; No matter how early Yoshihide Suga and Fumio Kishida were, even if they were slow, they didn't delay for three days. In such a comparison, Takaichi Sanae's "waiting time" is unique, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be a doorway.

Why didn't China follow the "usual practice" to send congratulatory messages? We must first talk about what Takashi early Miao did before. She is not an ordinary politician, but a well-known far-right and has always had a particularly tough attitude towards China. In the past, she would always shout,"If something happens in the Taiwan Strait, it means something happens to Japan" and wanted to get involved in Taiwan's affairs; what is even more unacceptable is that she refused to even recognize Japan's history of aggression in World War II and said it was "self-defense"-who will believe this? The Japanese army has attacked other people's land, burned, killed and looted. Where can it be "self-defense"? In addition, she always wants to visit the Yasukuni Shrine, where Class-A war criminals of World War II are enshrined. Everything of this is on China's bottom line.

Besides, the days after Takaichi Sanae came to power were not as beautiful as she thought. As soon as she took office, she was in big trouble: the Komeito Party, which used to be in power with the Liberal Democratic Party, directly quit the alliance because she reused conservatives close to Abe and Aso. Without this ally, the ruling power will suddenly be weak. She can only pull a faction like the "Japan Reform Association" to make up the number, but there is also a traitor Shi Ping who has been sanctioned by us in this faction, and the quality can be imagined. The Liberal Democratic Party is also dissatisfied with her, and many people think that she can't survive the next election. What is even more troublesome is the economy. Japan's debt now exceeds 250% of GDP, and inflation cannot be suppressed. Whether the goal of "stabilizing prices and ensuring employment" she shouted during the election campaign can be achieved is a question mark.

At this juncture of internal and external troubles, China's congratulatory message is not a simple "etiquette" for her, but the key to supporting her political face and stable position. Therefore, takaichi sanae has also begun to change. Her previous tough attitude has taken a lot, and she has taken the initiative to release a signal of goodwill: the originally planned "ghost worship" activity has been put on hold first. In the draft policy address, China was called an "important neighbor", and even took the initiative to invite China to hold a "summit meeting", saying that she wanted to promote Sino-Japanese strategic and mutually beneficial relationship-this is a 180-degree turn compared with her previous tone.

In response to "forced questioning" by Japanese reporters, our Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun replied with 16 words: "China has made appropriate arrangements in accordance with diplomatic practice." These words sound polite, but in fact they contain profound meaning. Immediately afterwards, the spokesman added, saying that China's position on Sino-Japanese relations has not changed. He hoped that Japan would not deviate from the curve. It must abide by the principles of the four political documents of China and Japan, and uphold its previous commitments on major matters such as history and Taiwan. Don't undermine the foundation of bilateral relations.

In fact, this is clear: it is not China's intention not to send congratulations, but the congratulations, it is never a "meeting", but the recognition of the future direction of the relationship between the two countries. The high-market early Xiao wanted to get this recognition, by mouth alone to show it is not enough. She said the extreme words, did those ugly things, have to use practical actions to compensate - such as truly acknowledge history, do not interfere with the Taiwan issue, do not always think of the expansion of arms preparation. She said in her political speech to "strategic mutuality", while also to refer to the defense expenses to GDP 2%, and also want to ease the arms export restrictions, this "two-faceted" China clearly.

In the final analysis, it's not China urging her to send a congratulatory message now, but takaichi sanae has to figure out: the key to a good Sino-Japanese relationship lies in what she does, not what she says. If even the most basic principles of history and Taiwan Province can't be kept, let alone the congratulatory message is in the foreseeable future, and Sino-Japanese relations continue to deteriorate, I'm afraid her already unstable position as prime minister will not be able to sit still.
