China’s Act of War Against PM Takaichi and Japan

China is on the rampage after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said what was neither new nor surprising – that Taiwan is immensely important to Japan, and that Japan may consider coming to Taiwan’s defense if China attacks. In response, China’s Consul General in Osaka said on social media that PM Takaichi should be beheaded.
Beijing presumably agreed with its Consul General and has doubled and tripled down on the verbal assaults. As well, China is banning Japanese seafood imports and threatening to prohibit Chinese tourism to Japan and Chinese students from studying there.
Concocted Outrage
China’s outrage is largely concocted and an excuse to turn up the heat on Japan.
Beijing will claim they’ve been provoked, and it’s Japan’s fault that China is doing whatever it’s doing.
But it is all pretextual. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) doesn’t get “furious” and “angry.” No matter how many times the American press writes that it does. The CCP has about as much emotion as a great white shark. And a comparable appetite. Beijing is looking to isolate and destroy Takaichi by blaming her for pointing out Beijing’s aggressive designs and suggesting Japan should defend itself.
China’s objectives towards Japan have long been clear. Dominate Japan and take Japanese territory – while heaping humiliation on the Japanese in the process.
It’s “paying Japan back” for historical wrongs, Beijing will tell you. But even if Japan had never invaded China in the 1930s, the CCP would still be out for blood.
