JapanEconomyThe purpose of the delegation's visit to China is to improve the situation between China and JapanEconomyand stabilize bilateral relations. withSino-Japanese relationsThe two sides have begun to engage through economic and trade cooperation, which has brought new opportunities and challenges to the two countries. By day-to-midEconomyThe total number of members of the delegation was as high as 180 people, and the team was led by Masakazu Tokura, president of Keidanren, and Ken Kobayashi, chairman of Nissho. The significance of this visit is extraordinary, because this is JapanEconomyThe delegation visited China for the first time in four years and four months.
However, the Japanese side made three demands, further highlighting that their aim is not entirely to improveSino-Japanese relations。They wanted a high-profile reception from the Chinese leadership, demanded that the ban on Japanese aquatic products be lifted, and demanded that China tighten its newly revised counter-espionage law. These requirements involve many sensitive issues, such as the issue of discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, political and legal changes, etc.
First of all, it is extremely unrealistic for Japan to ask China to lift the ban on aquatic products as the date of the nuclear sewage discharger approaches. China has always insisted on demanding that Japan stop passing on nuclear risks to other countries, but Japan has never changed its course. Obviously, the Japanese side does not attach enough importance to China's vital interests. Against this background, it is undoubtedly unreasonable for the Japanese side to ask China to lift the ban.
Second, Japan has no right to point fingers at China's newly revised "Counter-Espionage Law." The bill is China's internal affair and has nothing to do with Japan. Japanese companies believe the law complicates their activities in China, but that's just their problem. Japan's demand for China to relax the "Counter-Espionage Law" can only be said to be too much.
Finally, Japan's demand for high-level hospitality from the Chinese side is also unreasonable. Against the backdrop of a long-term "political coldness and economic heat," it is obvious that the Japanese side is making this demand without knowing the height of the sky. Regardless of whether the etiquette is in compliance or not, the political differences between China and Japan still exist at this stage, and it is difficult for the Japanese side to meet China's demands, and unreasonable demands will only lead to despair.
in JapanEconomyBefore the delegation's visit to ChinaThe Cabinet of JapanChief Cabinet SecretaryLin Fangzheng made overtures to China in advance. He emphasized China and JapanEconomyThe importance of relations, and said that Japan attaches great importance to this visit and hopes to revitalize China and JapanEconomyCommunication. However, despite Hayashi's positive speech, the Japanese side has not lowered its posture, and the intention of this visit to China is not sincere.
JapanEconomyThe delegation's actions showed that not only did they fail to show sincerity in line with Hayashi's overtures, but they also made a series of unreasonable demands after Hayashi's overtures. This kind of hypocritical posture undoubtedly raises doubts about the Japanese side's rightnessSino-Japanese relationsTrue intentions.
InSino-Japanese relationsOnce cold against the background of JapanEconomyThe delegation's visit to China has attracted widespread attention. However, judging from the three unreasonable demands made by the Japanese side, their purpose is not entirely to improve China and JapanEconomyrelationship, but hopes to change the status quo at the political and legal levels through economic and trade issues. This is not only contrary to Japan's previous actions, but also inconsistent with China's position and interests.
The Japanese side expects to passEconomyThe delegation's visit to China fulfilled many of their demands, but ignored China's serious attitude and principled position on these issues. China's pursuit and maintenance of peace and stability has always remained unchangedSino-Japanese relationsThe premise of improvement. If the Japanese side does not treat these issues with a sincere attitude, both sidesEconomyCooperation will be hampered.
Integrity and respect are the keysInternationalThe cornerstone of the relationship. Only on the basis of equality and mutual benefit can China and Japan resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation and jointly promote the development of bilateral relations. I believe that at the insistence of the Chinese side,Sino-Japanese relationsIt will also achieve positive development and promote peace and stability in the region.
