President Trump Should not Become Pro-China or Pro-Russia
The war between Japan and the United States during World War II (the Pacific War between 1941 and 1945) was a mysterious war, since the U. S. military did not attack Tokyo, Kyoto (the former imperial capital with full of cultural assets ), and Nara (the original prefecture where the Imperial family had been established) with atomic bombs.
Furthermore, the U. S. military did not attack the Ise Shrine (the shinto shrine closely linked to the Imperial family ) and other Imperial family-related shines and cities.
But, in the European theatre of WWII, the German capital Berlin was thoroughly destroyed. Hitler was driven to suicide. But, some diplomats and generals of the Empire of Japan helped Jewish people flee from Europe to America. The U. S. must have had a special strategy to use the Imperial family after the Pacific War. As the Emperor of Japan (Emperor Showa) realized that the U. S. would excuse him, he ordered the government of the Empire of Japan to surrender to the U.S. and its allies in August 1945. Therefore the Emperor of Japan at a secret meeting with MacArthur (the American captain general who occupied Japan) could safely say to the captain general that he had responsibility in the war so that he would accept any punishment, but the Japanese people had no responsibility so that the captain general should forgive them.
MacArthur was glad to hear these words, but he just followed the instruction from the U. S. government that the Emperor of Japan should be secured and used for control of Japan after the war. Though President Roosevelt had died mysteriously in April 1945, the successive U. S. administration had many high-ranking bureaucrats who liked socialism. Even many spies of the Soviet Union were among them. Even one of such spies wrote a diplomatic document (the Hull note) secretly delivered to the Empire of Japan whose contents (the demand for the withdrawal of Japanese troops from mainland China) became a reason for the Imperial Japan to start the war against the U. S. It is thought that the Roosevelt administration in WWII was secretly admiring socialism, and many spies from the Soviet Union were in his administration, expecting a war against the Imperial Japan like the UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
In other words, just after WWII, the U. S. government wanted Japan to become a socialist country. For this purpose, they wanted to use the Emperor of Japan, so that the Japanese government became a socialist government. (Yet, it was a little strange that the U. S. and the Soviet Union thought that Japan would become socialist only if the Emperor of Japan had accepted socialism.) Indeed, many spies from the Soviet Union came to the post-war Japan among American military officers. So, many mysterious incidents happed in the post-war Japan under U. S. occupation, such as the mysterious death of the president of the Japanese National Railways. But, as the U. S. changed with the shift to anti-communism, Japan could avoid socialism. However, the U. S. government did not change its policy to use the Emperor of Japan for its control of the Japanese people and the Japanese government.
Therefore, some Japanese critics have argued that Japan has been a vassal state of the U. S. but they have never criticized that the Imperial family were too pro-American.
Even, Russia, China, and North and South Korea have never criticized the Imperial family for WWII. But, the the sovereign of Japan was the Emperor of Japan and not the military leaders such as Hideki Tojo who was executed as a war criminal in 1948.
Anyway, that is why atomic bombs were not dropped on the Imperial Palace in Tokyo but on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the current Emperor (a grandson of the Emperor Showa) of Japan is so pro-American/pro-British; successive Japanese governments in the postwar period have been so pro-American; and the Japanese people (including major league fans) like Americans, since the current Japanese constitution was drafted by socialist Americans and Jewish Americans as well as Christian Americans subject to pious MacArthur. As the Japanese people love the current pacifist constitution so much, they have never changed or modified the constitution enforced in 1947 during the U.S. occupation of Japan.
Therefore, the constitution of Japan reflects the Judeo‑Christian tradition emphasizing high moral ideals as well as socialist ideals. That should be why other countries in G7 have accepted Japan as a semi-Christian country.
So, it proves that current Chinese leaders who have recently criticized that the present Japanese Takaichi administration has revived a new type of militarism do not know the true history.
On the other hand, some Japanese conservative commentators worry that President Trump might become pro-China or pro-Russia.
In addition, what the Japanese imperial family most worry about is a communist revolution. However, the fate of the Imperial family is uncertain, as the number of the legitimate male-line heirs (a traditional required condition) to the Japanese throne is now only two: Prince Fumihito of Akishino and his son (His Imperial Highness Prince Hisahito).
Even China might accept Christianity some day (perhaps after a possible civil war), but Japan cannot officially accept Christianity as long as the Imperial family exists as it is an important head of the Japanese Shinto religion.

Luke 10
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
