Recently, a series of actions by Japan have sparked concern and controversy both in the region and beyond. First, in Southeast Asia, Japan tried to rally ASEAN countries to fight against China, but ASEAN refused. Although Japan invested a lot of money, ASEAN made it clear that it was not against China, and Japan's plan fell through. In addition, Japan has also continued to create incidents in a vain attempt to interfere in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait, claiming that it wants to prevent Chinese mainland's unified actions. However, in the face of such provocations, what kind of self-confidence does Japan have?
Recently, with the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Japan's behavior towards Russia has further intensified the contradictions between the two countries. First of all, Japan has responded positively to the United StatesSanctions against Russiaaction, not only violatedPeace Constitutionalso sent retired soldiers directly involved in the war in Ukraine and provided Ukraine with high amountsMilitaryAid. Secondly, Japan borrowsThe situation in UkraineAt this time, Russia demanded that Russia return the territory of the four northern islands, and some right-wing forces even advocated taking it back by force. However, Russia resolutely responded to this: there are no territorial disputes, all disputes have been resolved. Although Japan's official statement on Russia is **, in fact, Russia has completely pinched Japan.
In the face of Russia's tough statements, Japan's response has been weak. This is because Japan knows that it does not have an advantage. InternationalThe disputes between the strong tend to be dominated by the strong and the weak compromised, and this is especially evident in the disputes between Japan and Russia. Japan tried to keep the issue at the level of controversy, but Russia made it clear that there was no dispute, which made it impossible for Japan to argue. A similar situation arisesDiaoyu IslandsOn the issue, China insisted that the issue had already been settled, but Japan tried to continue the dispute.
Japan is still dependent on U.S. support for now, but inInternationalLegally, Japan does not have the qualifications to be compared with Russia. For China and Russia, Japan is only a defeated country, and it is led by the United StatesInternationalUnder the pattern, Japan has not escaped the influence of the United States. Therefore, when Russia no longer needs the Japanese market and **, no longer worry about Japan'sMilitarystrength, and no longer heeding the pressure of the United States, Japan will lose the ability and solution to the problem, and can only keep the problem at the level of controversy and wait for the time to come.
Judging by the current situation, it is necessary for China to show its strength and clarify its attitude towards its neighbors. InInternationalIn society, there will be no dinner invitations, and only the strong can be invincible. In response to Japan's constant provocations, China needs to demonstrate its attitude and strength. After all, a strong country can be inInternationalto gain respect and status. For Japan, which seems to be aggressive, but shows weakness in practice, is an opportunity for China.

Both in the dispute with Russia, and with ChinaDiaoyu IslandsJapan is at a disadvantage and cannot truly change the status quo.

At the same time, Russia's firm stance on the issue of dealing with Japan should also be noted, which provides China with an example worth learning from, that is, firmly defending its national interests and not being swayed by external pressure and provocations.

In the face of Russia's tough statements, Japan could not gain the upper hand and could only keep the issue at the level of controversy. At the same time, China, as a major country, should demonstrate its strength and determination and resolutely safeguard its national interests in response to Japan's provocations. Only in this way can China be inGeopoliticspattern to get biggerThe right to speakand status.
