Japan's Prime Minister is under Attack by China so Madly
The Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi is under attack so irrationally and dangerously by China.The first female Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi said in a Japanese Diet session that if Taiwan was militarily attacked by China, it should be taken seriously by Japan as a virtual military attack by China to Japan, so that Japan should be militarily alerted.
She answered this to a question by an opposition-party law maker as a virtual emergency case. But China responded to her words so furiously as interference with China's domestic problem. So, a Chinese consul stationed in Osaka, Japan, wrote in the Internet in Japanese that the Japanese prime minister should be beheaded immediately, which has caused a big fuss in Japan.
China also has issued an alarm to Chinese tourists in Japan that they might be violently attacked by the Japanese people. The Chinese government also announced to the Chinese people that they should be careful in going to Japan so as to avoid troubles.
This is an unbelievable action by the Chinese government. The Japanese prime minister just answered to a question by an opposition-party law maker in the Japanese Diet. She just reiterated the conventional policy of the Japanese government on the Taiwan issue. China has long expressed its will to absorb Taiwan even by use of military power. But Japan want peace in and around Taiwan although Japan acknowledges that China claims that Taiwan is a part of its territory while Taiwan wants its independence from the mainland China.
Japan cut a diplomatic tie with Taiwan in about 1970 when Japan established a diplomatic tie with China, but unofficial relationship with Taiwan has continued. Many conservative politicians in Japan like Takaichi supports Taiwan's attitude, which has made China bristle.
Anyway, the words of the Chines consul on Takaichi are rude and graceless. Virtually the Chinese diplomat wrote that Takaichi should be killed. And, just a week before the Takaichi's words, Takaichi and Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, met and talked in Korea. It is a big surprise for the Japanese people that its prime minister is intimidated by the Chinese consul and the Chinese government over the Taiwan issue.
China acted as if its diplomatic policy were harmed by the Japanese prime minister but, she only reiterated the conventional attitude of the Japanese government since 1970, which has been also supported by the U.S. government. Japan has no intention to attack China militarily or verbally.
Chinese government should act calmly and rationally. And it should maintain peace around the Taiwan Strait.
By the way, some Japanese journalists claim that Xi Jinping is losing its power and he will fall from power sooner or later as he is losing support from the Chinese military.
No matter what happens in China, Japanese policy against Taiwan and China will never change. Peace should be maintained in and around Taiwan, since Taiwan is so close to Japan and there are many pro-Japan people in Taiwan since Japan had governed Taiwan from 1895 to 1945.

Mark 11
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
