According to Global Network , Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng visited Singapore and Malaysian from the 7th to the 10th. During this period, when he met with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong , he said that Japan was willing to deepen cooperation with Singapore to promote the implementation of the so-called "free and open Indo-Pacific", and talked about the situation in the South China Sea and the East China Sea , and as always, he sold the so-called "China threat theory" in the ASEAN region.
Japan has now become a vassal of the United States and has no independent diplomatic rights at all. Its diplomatic and military policies are completely dancing in the United States' baton, and the United States beats wherever it refers. Therefore, during his visit to Singapore, Lin Fang habitually mentioned the issue of China and declared strongly against "any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea." Obviously, Lin Fang is trying to provoke the cooperative relationship between China and ASEAN by exaggerating the so-called "China threat theory".
However, Lin Fang obviously forgot the fact that the South China Sea belongs to the issue between China and ASEAN. As an extraterritorial country, Japan has no power to talk about the South China Sea issue. In fact, leaders of ASEAN countries, including Singapore, know that what caused tension in the South China Sea is not China's military presence in the South China Sea islands and reefs, but the attempts of external forces such as the United States and Japan to internationalize the South China Sea issue and turn the region into their "main battlefield" to contain China.
Even if it were the East China Sea issue related to Japan, if Japan had not been coveted by the territorial waters of other countries, and did not hesitate to collude with external forces such as the United States and Europe, and stir up trouble in this sea area, where would the tension come from? Therefore, Lin Fang is talking about the East China Sea and the South China Sea issue in Singapore, which is actually just turning the tables and blames China for the tensions in the South China Sea created by foreign forces such as Japan and the United States on China's "try to unilaterally change the status quo through force", and a typical thief shouting to catch the thief.
Of course, Lin Fang is using ASEAN countries as fools to deceive and play with them, but in fact he is the real fool himself. After all, although ASEAN is not anti-Japanese, it will not be as stupid as European countries and will be led by others without knowing it. On the contrary, all ASEAN countries know about China, the United States and Japan. Who is sincere in helping the region maintain peace and develop the economy? Who is the culprit of creating regional tensions? Therefore, the results of a recent poll showed that China's influence and trust in ASEAN surpassed the United States and Japan, and became the most popular and trustworthy country in the region.
Just because of this, Lin Fang was trying to sell the US "China threat theory" in ASEAN, but she could only bring shame to herself. In response, Global Times said in a report that next year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between ASEAN and Japan. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Japan, which is closely watching China and Russia. However, since ASEAN is unwilling to choose sides on issues such as the Sino-US game and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it is difficult for Japan to win over ASEAN to achieve the expected results.
Lin Fang is slandering China in ASEAN to provoke cooperation relations between regional countries and China. On the surface, it seems to be incredible, but his master, Japanese Prime Minister Kisha Fumio , has not had a good life in China at all. According to " Reference News ", the latest poll shows that Kishida Fumio's public opinion support rate has dropped to 35%, the lowest level since the establishment of the government. The background of this poll is the rise in dissatisfaction with the soaring prices of energy and other commodities.
Like other American allies, the Kishida government cooperates with the United States to provoke tensions in the Asia-Pacific region and follows the trend of the West intervening in the Ukrainian issue that has nothing to do with it. Japan's move is nothing more than creating conflicts with China and Russia, and aggravate regional tensions as an excuse for it to increase military spending and expand its military infrastructure. However, the Kishida authorities ignore a fatal problem, that is, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are causing serious harm to Japan's economic development and people's livelihood interests.Affected by this, Japan has experienced a trade deficit for more than a year in a row, which is a big nightmare for Japan, which relies on trade and exports to prosper.
Although Japan's current inflation rate is not as serious as that of European countries, the trade deficit for more than a year has sounded the death knell of a recession for the Japanese economy. Affected by factors such as the Federal Reserve's malicious rate hike of , the yen exchange rate against the US dollar has continued to plummet. Therefore, some Japanese media reported in a recent report that if converted into US dollars, Japan's GDP has dropped to around 4 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to the return of Japan's GDP to the level 30 years ago.
Japanese economy has been beyond recognition by those politicians in Tokyo. The Kishida authorities not only did not use their main energy and resources to deal with the domestic economic crisis, but instead intensified their efforts to provoke trouble overseas and cooperated with the United States to provoke regional tensions and confrontation. The Kishida government has provoked disputes overseas, which in turn has further harmed the Japanese economy. Therefore, it would be strange if the Japanese people would continue to support this government that "disasters the country and the people" that puts personal political desires above the interests of the country and the people.
