Recently, a Japanese delegation of nearly 200 people, mainly from China and Japan, paid a friendly visit to ChinaEconomyassociations and Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in JapanEconomyComposition of the group. As neighbors of China and Japan, the two sides share common cultural originsEconomyPotential for collaboration. Therefore, the Japanese side seeks to be with ChinaEconomyCollaboration is a very meaningful move.
InEconomyaspects of Japan in recent yearsEconomyThe situation is not optimistic, expanding with ChinaEconomyCollaboration to become JapanEconomyOne of the important demands of the world. China and Japan are inEconomyThe complementarity in terms of structure is clear, and in-depth cooperation will bring great benefits to both countries. In addition, Japan is about to run a prime minister election, and the Kishida administration also hopes to achieve certain results at this time to win more popular support.
Although the Chinese side welcomes the visit of the Japanese delegation, it expresses reservations about the two major demands put forward by the Japanese side, namely, the resumption of visa-free short-term stay for Japanese people and the lifting of the ban on Japanese seafood.
With regard to the request for visa-free travel for short-term stays, although China hopes to strengthen friendly exchanges between the two peoples, the two sides need to reach a reciprocal principle on the visa-free policy. Japan's past performance has caused some misgivings on the Chinese side, so the Chinese side has expressed reservations about this.
As for the request for a ban on seafood, China has not relented due to concerns about the safety of Japanese seafood in the past. However, the Chinese side has also made relevant demands to Japan, including the hope that Japan will properly handle historical issues and take a correct stance on Taiwan-related affairs. These demands are made to accurately grasp the crux of the matter.
China's demands are mainly focused on historical issues and Taiwan-related issues. Japan has yet to seriously reflect on itWorld War IIThis has become the biggest obstacle to China and Japan in shaking off the burden of history and moving forward in true cooperation. Only when Japan sincerely repents and sincerely corrects its mistakes can it win the trust of its neighboring countries.
In addition, on Taiwan-related affairs, in order to curry favor with the United States and Western countries, Japan has repeatedly made explicit statements on Taiwan-related issues, and has even shown that it does not hesitate to follow the United States in carrying out so-called "armed intervention." This is outrageous. China hopes that Japan will maintain a correct position on Taiwan-related affairs, not only for the sake of maintaining regional peace and stability, but also for demonstrating Japan's image as a responsible major country.
Only when Japan truly reflects on its historical mistakes and corrects its current mistakes can it truly win the trust and cooperation of its neighboring countries. The fact that China, Japan, and South Korea can sincerely work together will not only be a blessing for Asia and the world, but will also make the United States and other countries feel jealous.
Judging from the whole incident, Japan is behind the visit of the huge Japanese delegation to ChinaEconomyThe community seeks to strengthen with ChinaEconomyWillingness to cooperate. However, for the Chinese side, cooperation with Japan needs to be based on equality and mutual benefit. It is reasonable for the Chinese side to maintain a certain reservation about the Japanese side's demands.
In particular, China has expressed a clear attitude towards Japan's historical issues and Taiwan-related positions, which demonstrates China's position and bottom line as a responsible major country. Only when Japan sincerely faces its past historical mistakes and re-establishes a correct stance on Taiwan-related issues can it be promotedSino-Japanese relationsTowards the direction of stability and harmony.
It is hoped that in the future, China and Japan can explore together with an open mind and an equal attitudeEconomyOpportunities for cooperation to achieve common development through mutual benefit and win-win results. At the same time, I hope that Japan will face up to history, correct its mistakes, and work with its neighbors to build a peaceful, stable, and prosperous East Asian region.
