According to the "Kyodo News", Japan has recently sent a hugeEconomyThe delegation visited China with members from Japan and ChinaEconomyThe total number of people reached 180 people, such as the association, Keidanren, and the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The visit took place in Beijing from January 23 to January 26, following the visit of Mizuho Fukushima, leader of Japan's Social Democratic PartyEconomyThe personal benefit of the delegation's first visit to China. There were two top advisers in the delegation, Masakazu Tokura, chairman of the Keidanren Federation, and Ken Kobayashi, chairman of the Niksho business, and the head of the delegation was Takao Shinto, president of the Japan-China Economic Association. Looking at this large delegation, it can be seen that JapanEconomyThere is a strong desire to promote the development of Japan-China economic and trade relations. The Chinese side attaches great importance to this visit. However, we note that the information revealed by the Japanese ** shows that they may make three excessive demands. The three demands are to ask the Chinese side to give high-level reception, to ask the Chinese side to lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products, and to require the Chinese side to use the "Counter-espionage lawto increase transparency.
As for the Japanese side's request for high-level reception, both from the perspective of the Chinese side and inSino-Japanese relationsAgainst the backdrop of rigidity, China will seriously consider how to maintain normal economic and trade relations between China and Japan. As for Japan's request for China to lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products, the facts are clear, JapanNuclear contaminationWater poses a threat to global security, and the impact on China is even more far-reaching. In order to protect the health of its citizens, China had to ban the import of Japanese aquatic products. China's move is out of helplessness and cannot tolerate Japan's finger-pointing actions. If the Japanese side wants the Chinese side to lift the ban, it must take concrete steps to stop itNuclear contaminationwater discharge plan, and compensation for damaged countries such as China. We will not allow any room for bargaining on this issue. China will never make decisions that compromise the safety of its citizens and the safety of the marine environment in order to improve Sino-Japanese relations. As for the Japanese side's request for the Chinese side to improve the use of the "Counter-espionage lawThis matter involves China's judicial sovereignty, and it is even more vexatious. Judging from the fact that the Japanese ** and institutions have repeatedly raised this issue, whether they have self-exposed has provided confirmation for the rumors of "national spying". Is this rumor true? aEconomyNor was the Delegation itself entitled to make such an exceptional request. For a long time,Sino-Japanese relationsDue to historical legacies and other factors, it has been in a state of "political coldness and economic heat", but now it has slipped to the trough of "political coldness and economic coldness". This question is not oneEconomyThe Delegation would be able to change it completely. The point is that Japan** needs to take concrete action to improveSino-Japanese relations, and not onlyEconomyTake some superficial measures. Of course, we welcome anything that can be promotedSino-Japanese relationsHowever, only if Japan changes its stance on China, we will always be with us and work to resolve the situation of the ossification of relations between the two countries, but it is not realistic to change this situation in the short term.
This timeEconomyThe mission's visit was undoubtedly the focus of much attention. First of all, Japan sent a huge delegation of 180 people, which reflected JapanEconomyThe community attaches great importance to and expects Sino-Japanese economic and trade relations. This sheer size means the importance of Japanese companies to the Chinese market and their role in strengthening both countriesEconomyPositive willingness to cooperate. Secondly, as a synthesis composed of representatives of various industriesEconomydelegations, their visit will involve a number of areas of economic and trade cooperation and investment opportunities, possibly to China and JapanEconomyThe development of the relationship plays a positive role in promoting it. In addition, the two top advisers in the delegation are from Keidanren and Nissho, respectively, as JapanEconomyRepresentatives of the world, for the promotion of China and JapanEconomyCommunication and cooperation play an important role.
However, we also need to be concerned about the three excessive demands that the delegation of Japan may make. First, they asked for a high-level reception from the Chinese leader. This is undoubtedly an overly high expectation, because China has always stressed that the premise of high-level engagement is based on mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. However, the Japanese side has not shown sufficient respect for China in its past actions, and such a demand could lead to a further deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations. Second, they demanded that the Chinese side lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products. This request may seem reasonable to the Japanese side, but in the eyes of the Chinese side, the lifting of the ban must be based onNuclear contaminationOn the basis of an effective solution to the water threat and reasonable compensation from the Japanese side, it will be difficult for the Chinese side to accept it. Finally, the Japanese delegation asked the Chinese side to improve its use of theCounter-espionage law". However, ".Counter-espionage lawIt is China's domestic legislative affairs, which involves judicial sovereignty, and no foreign delegation has the right to interfere and demand adjustments from the Chinese side. This request is clearly illogical and unconscionable.
Regardless of the outcome of the delegation's visit,Sino-Japanese relationsThe improvement is not just one timeEconomyA mission would make it happen. For nowSino-Japanese relationsAt the political level, there are great difficulties and controversies, and resolving these issues requires the joint efforts of both sides and sincere dialogue. Both sides face important decisions to improve their relationship. Japan needs to take concrete actions to correct its attitude towards China, resolve issues left over from history, and respond to China's concerns with concrete actions. China is also willing to make efforts to improve bilateral relations, but will not sacrifice its national interests and people's well-being. We need to be fully aware thatSino-Japanese relationsimprovements would take time and accumulation, and one delegation should not be expected to do so. The two sides should gradually repair and develop through dialogue and cooperationSino-Japanese relationsto achieve the goal of mutual benefit and win-win.
In short, Japan sent a hugeEconomyThe delegation's visit to China is indicative of JapanEconomyBounded pairsSino-Japanese relationsof values and expectations. However, the delegation's possible excessive demands require China's vigilance and resolute response. Sino-Japanese relationsThe improvement requires the joint efforts of both sides, and no unilateral action should be expected. The two sides should actively promote this through dialogue and cooperationSino-Japanese relationsto achieve the goal of common prosperity and stability.
