This is the visiting senior official, Takeo Akiba, director of Japan's National Security Agency, and the person who met with him in Tianjin was Yang Jiechi, director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission. The background of this meeting is on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan. Akiba Takeo came here, presumably in the hope of enhancing exchanges between the two sides. However, in the process of provoking tensions in the Taiwan Strait by the United States, Japan played a very disgraceful role, which has had a great negative impact on the current situation and future of Sino-Japanese relations.

In this incident, China received support from more than 170 countries, while the US farce was widely criticized by the international community. But this does not include Japan. What is Japan doing? It not only catered to the US's performance, but also actively participated in the joint statement of the foreign ministers of G7, ignoring the US provocation first. Instead, it made irresponsible remarks on China's response to the resulting response and called on China not to use force to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. In this meeting, Akiba Takeo wanted to repeat the same old tune.

You must know that he is facing Yang Jiechi, who taught US Secretary of State Blinken for a full 15 minutes during the Sino-US dialogue in Anchorage. At that time, Blinken was like a primary school student in front of Yang Jiechi, to use the words of the American media. When Takeo Akiba said those words again, Director Yang Jiechi would not tolerate him. While pointing out that Sino-Japanese relations are of great regional and global significance, Yang Jiechi emphasized that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan issue is related to the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations and the basic fundamentals between China and Japan. Faith.

Yang Jiechi also put forward specific requirements to Japan regarding the exchanges between China and Japan: that is, Japan should focus on the long-term and fundamental interests of China and Japan and the two peoples, and not only establish a correct attitude toward China. We must also pursue a rational, pragmatic and positive China policy, and grasp and adhere to the direction and path of peaceful development. Only by adhering to the four political documents and the four consensuses signed by China and Japan can we enhance political mutual trust between China and Japan and promote the healthy development of bilateral relations.

These demands are not only specific, but also go to the core of Japan’s current misunderstanding and approach towards China. They can be said to be serious and thoughtful. I just don’t know if Akiba Takeo and Japan understand it, or if they can listen to it. Judging from the current attitude and performance of the Japanese government in catering to the United States on the Taiwan issue, China's crackdown is very timely and important. If the Japanese government remains stubborn and continues to stir up trouble on the Taiwan issue, flirting and colluding with the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island, it will inevitably further damage Sino-Japanese relations and bring more uncertainty to the future of the two countries. The result of this will not be beneficial to anyone.
