What kind of demon is Japan doing?
According to a report by the global network, Japan's "Nikkei Asian Review" recently broke the news that Japan will strengthen export controls on parts, commodities and technology to countries including China, Russia and other countries. Moreover, Japan intends to follow the example of the United States and Europe in this plan.
According to the Nikkei Asian Review, Japan now divides other countries into three categories: the first is those countries that are prohibited from exporting to them in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions; The second group is 27 countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea, which impose moderate export controls on them; The third category is all other countries. According to the report, Japan intends to tighten export controls to countries in the third category, including China and Russia.
Japan regards the U.S. control measures as a holy order, but the reality is that the United States has planted a big heel in China's control measures, and it is a tripartite agreement on China's chip development, a quadripartite alliance, and investment restrictions on China, but in exchange for Huawei's Mate 60 Pro, the United States has turned years of sanctions into a joke.
The same is true for electric vehicles, the United States in order for car companies to no longer cooperate with China, directly said that the subsidy of 7,500 US dollars per car for cooperation with China is not to be discussed. But BYD surpassed Tesla in one fell swoop to become the world's No. 1 salesman, not only that, China's graphite reserves are even more competitive.
Japan has basically become a "puppet state" of the United States, and the United States has made it difficult for China to cooperate with the United States in the past.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has announced the implementation of the revised Foreign Exchange and Foreign Countries** Act, adding export controls on 23 categories in the field of cutting-edge semiconductors. In addition to the 42 friendly countries and regions such as the United States and South Korea, if you want to export these 23 categories of products to other countries, including China, you need to obtain permission from the Minister of Economic and Industrial Affairs each time, and in principle, you do not need to obtain a license before.
So the question is, why does Japan do what the United States says?
The former Japanese prime minister once said: "Japan should not listen to the United States, but the Japanese prime minister who dares to say no to the United States will not last long." ”
Japan is now increasingly looking like a subject under the control of the United States. The roots of this problem can be traced back to the continued domination of Japan by the United States after the defeat of World War II. Although Japan later gained independence, the U.S.-Japan Joint Commission had permeated all areas, and these organizations actually had more power than the Japanese constitution.
Under this subordination, if Japan wants to build a ** that truly thinks about the people, the people will never be able to truly enjoy happiness.
Moreover, as everyone knows, the United States has troops stationed in Japan, and the number of them is as high as 5About 30,000 people. This puts pressure on Japan. What's even more outrageous is that the cost of the US military stationed in Japan is even borne by Japan, before 2019, Japan bears about $5 billion a year, and after 2019, Amigo has raised the standard to $20 billion.
Japan's former prime minister even hoped that the U.S. military base would disappear in the future, saying that would be the best-case scenario. Japan only needs to ask the United States for help in an emergency, which is the most ideal scenario.
From the point of view of the United States, if there is a Japanese prime minister who says something that should not be said, the United States can let him **. But more importantly, Japan's bureaucracy is very good at figuring out what the United States wants. In particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
However, the road to the promotion of Japan, which did not conform to the United States, was extremely difficult, but those who had always advocated a subservient policy to the United States had gradually risen to a high position, so it was difficult to break the system of obeying the United States. The bureaucracy, which is indirectly influenced by the will of the United States, will only become stronger, albeit not directly, is a huge problem.
As an independent country, Japan should have relevant policies and measures suited to its own national conditions, but Japan has always followed the steps of the United States and has completely become a "puppet state" without a sense of independence, and in the long run, Japan's future will be even darker.
