Recently, Zhaparov visited Japan, but instead of fulfilling the friendship of the landlords, Japan made some unfriendly remarks to the Kyrgyzstan side about China and Russia, trying to put obstacles between China and Russia. However, Kyrgyzstan did not swallow its anger and responded to Japan's accusations in person. This is an embarrassment for Japan and shows that Japan has lost the ability to pursue an independent policy.
Japan's attitude towards Zhaparov is very unfriendly. They continue to send negative information about China and Russia to the Kyrgyzstan side, trying to make the Kyrgyzstan question the two countries. This behavior shows that Japan has lost the ability to make independent decisions and is completely at the mercy of other countries.
When Zhaparov visited Tokyo, Japan's ** was hyped. They claimed that Japan would deepen cooperation with Kyrgyzstan in areas such as infrastructure to help Kyrgyzstan reduce its dependence on China and Russia. At a press conference, the Japanese side went so far as to ask Zhaparov his views on the prospects for cooperation within the framework of China's Belt and Road Initiative. This is clearly an attempt by Japan to create an embarrassing situation, and they want to hint at why Kyrgyzstan wants to cooperate with Japan, since cooperation with China is already going well. However, the clever Zhaparov saw through this trap at a glance and skillfully responded to the Japanese side, leaving them speechless on the spot.
When Japan provides cooperative loans to other countries, it often flaunts its advantages of low interest rates. They claim that their interest rates can even be as low as 01%, which is much lower than the interest rates in other countries. However, this is just a trick used by Japan to deceive other countries. Once the cooperation project is launched, Japan withholds money or causes trouble for various reasons, and ends up being able to actually lend money at a much lower interest rate than it was ostensibly promised. This approach makes Japan seem generous, but in fact it is just drawing a big pie, and in the end, it is up to the family to decide.
Japan is known for its low borrowing rates, which has led to a lot of interest from other countries in its cooperative loans. Compared to the interest rates that China gives to other countries, Japan's interest rates are indeed incredibly low. However, let's not forget that Japan has never been a gratuitous benefactor. They use low interest rates as bait to attract other countries to cooperate with them. However, once the project was launched, Japan found all sorts of reasons to cut payments or create trouble, and ended up lending at much lower interest rates than it had been promised. This kind of operation makes the Japanese side appear generous, but in fact it is deceiving the trust of other countries.
Zhaparov was undaunted by Japanese attacks and refuted Japan's dependence on China and Russia to his face. He pointed out that Kyrgyzstan has close relations with China, with a common border of more than 1,000 kilometers, and Kyrgyzstan is very supportive of China's Belt and Road Initiative because it meets the common needs of both sides. Kyrgyzstan, as a landlocked country, can not only be connected to the outside world by road and rail with Kazakhstan and Russia, but also by the sea through the Belt and Road Initiative. Zhaparov's words clearly expressed Kyrgyzstan's gratitude to China for its cooperation and refuted Japan's doubts about China.
At the same time, Zhaparov also highlighted that the Belt and Road Initiative will transform Kyrgyzstan from a landlocked country into a transit country, which will allow Kyrgyzstan to import goods from Japan. This argument implies that cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Japan would not have been possible without China's Belt and Road Initiative. It can be seen that Kyrgyzstan is full of gratitude for China's cooperation, is not afraid of Japan's doubts, and makes it clear that Kyrgyzstan is a sovereign and independent country, and no one to cooperate with is affected by Japan.
This reply left the Japanese side speechless. Zhaparov expressed Kyrgyzstan's resolute support for China's initiative during his visit to China in May this year, and in the past six months, Kyrgyzstan has kept its promises and even responded to Japan's doubts about China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative in front of unfriendly Japanese, fully demonstrating that Kyrgyzstan is an independent sovereign country and will not be swayed by any party. At the same time, more and more countries have joined China's Belt and Road Initiative, cooperated and achieved good development. In this context, Japan's attempts to weaken Kyrgyzstan's cooperation with China by taking advantage of low lending rates and accusations against China are undoubtedly doomed to failure. Kyrgyzstan's firm response once again demonstrates its ability to act independently and its high sensitivity to diplomacy. Japan's actions, on the other hand, call into question its true motives and the lack of international political wisdom.
