Title:
Japan helped Ukraine, and Kishida let it go: 4.5 billion US dollars for emergency relief, is it a real rescue or a political "life-saving straw"?
Hello everyone and welcome to my consultation column!Today I am bringing you a world-class political shift, and our focus is on a wonderful showdown between Biden and Kishida over aid to Ukraine.
Have you heard that when Biden's aid plan for Ukraine went bankrupt, his eyes were immediately aimed at Japan, a big country in the East?Yes, Fumio Kishida didn't disappoint him, of course, this is not a vignette, but a political PUBG!
On December 6, at the G7 leaders' meeting, Fumio Kishida announced that he was willing to provide an additional $4.5 billion in aid to Ukraine. This can't help but make people wonder, Brother Kishida, what are you making a fuss about?It turned out that the United States had just overturned a bill to aid Ukraine, in which Biden originally planned to provide more than $61 billion to Ukraine, but unfortunately the Republicans tried their best to block it and finally failed to pass. At this time, Japan stood up and became a "lifesaver" for Ukraine.
Then you may ask, why is Japan coming to Ukraine's aid?In addition to the reasons of international morality and increasing influence, Kishida's brother has made a lot of careful considerations. Ukraine is a refugee ship in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, on the one hand, the domestic military and people's morale is unstable, and on the other hand, there is a serious shortage of materials and equipment, and it is blamed on the lack of money. As a result, Japan openly sent Ukraine the most desired $4.5 billion, which not only made a lot of goodwill in Ukraine, the United States and Europe, but also effectively increased Japan's influence in the world. After all, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is still a hot topic that we always pay attention to.
Don't underestimate this aid, Fumio Kishida played smartly, not only out of national interests, but also a little selfish. Recently, the issue of gray income from "banquet vouchers" within the Liberal Democratic Party has been in a uproar, causing the approval rating of Fumio Kishida's cabinet to decline, threatening the power and status of the Japanese prime minister. Therefore, this aid to Ukraine cannot be ruled out that Fumio Kishida wants to use diplomatic means to save his career.
But, then again, the deal is only good for Japan. For Ukraine, this is not necessarily a good thing. On the one hand, Ukrainian fighters have to continue to risk their lives to fight for the interests of politicians because of financial assistance;On the other hand, it is possible that Russia will intensify its attack on Ukraine because of this move by Japan, and it is Ukraine that is unlucky in the end.
Overall, Japan's aid has been a bit of a bump, but Kishida's political wisdom should not be underestimated. With Biden's acquiescence, he hit it off and came up with $4.5 billion, which not only brought US-Japan relations closer, but also hoped to "loosen the bonds" in the field of armaments. This is really a clever layout on the international political stage, and one can't help but imagine what kind of wonderful performance the next political situation will bring us.
Finally, as China's neighbors, we should not take this lightly. Japan's aid may be just the beginning, and the first target of its military plan is likely to be China. Let us remain vigilant, not be fooled by superficial aid, and keep an eye on this seemingly calm but profound international political drama. A game about the future is quietly unfolding, and we must all be ready to deal with it at any time.
