Recently, Japan has been dancing more happily, first going to win over ASEAN to oppose China, but it hit a wall, and after arriving in ASEAN, the money was scattered, and people in ASEAN came to say that they did not oppose China. In addition, Japan has also been causing trouble in the Taiwan Strait, saying that it will prevent Chinese mainland's unified actionJapan has not only been busy provoking China, but also annoyed Russia, and recently, with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as well as Japan's fall to Russia, Russia is facing a state of "two-sided war".
First of all, Japan** actively responded to the United States' sanctions against Russia, and at the same time violated the taboo of the post-World War II pacifist constitution, sent retired soldiers to directly participate in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and also provided up to $7.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Then, against the backdrop of Russia's deep involvement in the battlefield in Ukraine, Japan took the opportunity to demand that Russia return the "four northern islands.""of the territory.
There are even some Japanese right-wingers clamoring for the use of force to recover the four northern islands. At present, Japan is taking advantage of Russia's inability to take care of it and engage in such despicable villains.
To this, Russia's response can be summed up in one sentence: no talks!Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly stated on December 18 that Russia has no territorial disputes with Japan and that all territorial disputes have been resolved. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi then raised a response to the Russian Foreign Minister's statement, saying that the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia has not yet been resolved, and that Russia's position of trying to "shift the responsibility for stopping negotiations to Japan" is very unfair and unacceptable.
It can be said that Russia's words directly blocked Japan's mouth and completely controlled Japan. In the past, when Russia's economy was not in good shape, Russia originally proposed that two of the four islands could be returned to Japan first, in exchange for some economic aid or something, but as for Japan, it thought that if you wanted to return it to me, it would return all of it to me.
In addition, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia also tried to negotiate with Japan through the historical legacy of the South Kuril Islands, and the two sides reached a consensus on the issue of joint development. As a result, the United States stood up and demanded that Japan join the sanctions against Russia, but Japan finally made a compromise after half a year, and the Japan-Russia agreement was terminated. Later, when he was assassinated, Japan's so-called right-wing hardliners came to power and directly launched diplomatic cannons with Russia, directly blocking the last bit of room for maneuver in Japan-Russia negotiations.
Some time ago, the Russian Communist Party proposed to change the outbreak of World War II to July 7, 1937. This is a really good proposal, and it is a high degree of emotional empathy for the Chinese state.
In fact, Russia, as the main body of the Soviet Socialist Union, is justified in inheriting most of the Soviet legacy. In contrast, Japan, as a war criminal and defeated country in World War II, is now only dependent on the support of the United States, and in international law, Japan is not at all qualified to be compared with Russia.
This diplomatic statement between the two countries is actually useless at all. If Russia's economic situation improves, or if it completely gets rid of Japanese influence, Russia can even consider negotiations with the United States on the issue of the stationing of Japanese troops under the UN Charter. Japan has no reason at all to stop this process.
In addition, we can also see that Japan's response to Russia's words this time is obviously weak, because he knows that he does not have an advantage. International disputes have always been "strong since ancient times, and weak disputes have been put aside". However, if you want to put a dispute aside, you must first make the issue controversial. Therefore, we can see that Japan's statement that the issue is not resolved, which means that there is still a dispute;Russia, on the other hand, made it clear that there is no dispute, and it is clear which is stronger and which is weak.
The same situation arises on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands. Japan says the issue is still controversial, while China says it has been clear since ancient times that it is possible to see which is stronger and which is weak.
Therefore, the question is actually settled. When Russia no longer relies on the Japanese market and the world, no longer worries about Japan's castrated version of the army, and no longer cares about the United States behind Japan, Japan loses the strength and solution to solve the problem, and can only maintain the problem at the "controversial level" and wait for Russia to weaken in the future.
Therefore, if you understand this reason, you can understand that Japan's statement is only to keep the incident in a state of controversy.
Speaking of which, I have to say that Japan really looks at people placing orders. In the face of a powerful country like Russia, Japan does not even dare to send a single sampan to the four northern islands, but it sends small boats to provoke China's Diaoyu Islands from time to time. Personally, I think it's time for China to show its strength and show its attitude towards its neighbors. After all, the law of the jungle is international, and there is no such thing as a dinner party.
