Recently, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US adviser Jake Sullivan held talks in Thailand for two days. After the talks, the US side continued to convey its strong willingness to dialogue and communicate with China, and the most striking thing was that China and the United States jointly released a signal that the two heads of state would hold direct dialogues. The release of this signal means a positive turn for the better in China-US relations, and also represents the hope of both sides to resolve existing problems and strengthen cooperation through dialogue. This message has aroused great interest and expectation in the international community.
In addition, the United States has hinted at new arrangements for dialogue with China, including a possible visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China in February and March, and even Biden's willingness to visit China. This shows that Biden hopes to make a breakthrough in US-China relations as soon as possible and add a bargaining chip for diplomatic achievements in the upcoming future. If Biden fails to visit China within this year, he will become the only one in recent U.S. countries who has not visited China during his first term of office, which will undoubtedly become a major shortcoming in his diplomatic work.
In the face of the dialogue signals released by China and the United States, Japan's Fumio Kishida** also felt uneasy, and his attitude towards China has changed 180 degrees. Recently, in his 2024 policy address to the Diet, Fumio Kishida gave top priority to developing relations with China, and brushed aside the accusations he had made against China. This shows that Japan wants to build better relations with China.
This shift was driven not only by the influence of the United States, but also by the pressure of the current state of the Japanese economy. Japan's foreign goods** turned into a deficit from 2021, which is unacceptable for a country with ** as its pillar. Therefore, Japan must strengthen exchanges with China, and at the same time, it must also resolve frictions with China to avoid further exacerbating economic difficulties.
It is worth mentioning that last year, China banned the import of Japanese seafood from the Fukushima nuclear power plant nuclear sewage discharge incident initiated by Japan, and triggered a civil boycott of Japan's tourism industry, which put a lot of pressure on Kishida**. Although Japan has sent a delegation of politicians and business leaders to China to express its desire to strengthen economic cooperation, China has so far not lifted its ban on imports of Japanese seafood. Therefore, Fumio Kishida must put his positive attitude towards China into concrete actions in order to truly achieve the results of improving Sino-Japanese relations.
China-Japan relations are one of the most important bilateral relations in East Asia and an important guarantee for the stability and prosperity of the two peoples and the region. In recent years, China-Japan relations have experienced a period of twists and turns, but with the release of the signal of dialogue between China and the United States, and the change of Japan's attitude towards China Fumio Kishida**, China-Japan relations are expected to develop further.
In the face of changes in the current international situation, China hopes to establish a more stable and friendly relationship with Japan in order to cope with the common challenges. The two sides should strengthen political mutual trust and increase high-level exchanges and dialogue to resolve existing differences and problems. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Japan's Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy can be aligned to promote mutual benefit. In addition, the two countries can also strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, culture, and education, so as to bring more tangible benefits to the people of the two countries.
In the economic field, Japan's deficit with China has lasted for many years, which the Japanese economy cannot bear. The two sides can strengthen economic and trade cooperation, carry out mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, and promote economic prosperity and development. Especially in the current situation of global economic difficulties, China and Japan can strengthen cooperation, jointly address challenges, and promote the recovery and development of the region and the global economy.
In short, the release of the signal of the dialogue between the heads of state of China and the United States and the sudden change in Fumio Kishida's attitude towards China have brought new opportunities and hope to China-Japan relations. China and Japan should seize the opportunity to strengthen communication and cooperation, jointly promote the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, and make positive contributions to regional and world peace, stability, and prosperity.
