A new idea put forward by Xi Jinping on the Diaoyu Islands issue China's incoming leader Xi Jinping put forward a new idea on the Diaoyu Islands issue. He skipped the old stereotype that "Diaoyutai is China's inherent territory" and pointed out that this is a territorial issue that has not been completely resolved after World War II. Western countries (of course, mainly the United States) also bear unshirkable responsibility. This statement brings everyone's emotions back to the time when Japan surrendered more than 60 years ago. China and the United States were the common surrenderers. How can the United States now help the invaders that it defeated with China at that time and invade again the territory of China, which was also a victorious country at that time? This problem is difficult for the United States to deal with. It is a clever formulation. Please enjoy below...! Xu Jingbo: Chinese senior officials revealed "new ideas on the Diaoyu Islands issue." Since the Diaoyu Islands issue occurred on September 20, 2012, the Japanese government and Japanese public opinion have been paying attention to one person: "Why didn't he speak?" This person is Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping. Vice President Xi Jinping met with US Secretary of Defense Panetta on the 19th and talked about the Diaoyu Islands issue for the first time. In the eyes of the Japanese media, if he did not talk about it, it would be a "blockbuster". The following words from Vice Chairman Xi Jinping have repeatedly appeared on Japanese television and newspapers: "The Japanese side should step back from the brink and stop all wrong words and deeds that undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We hope that the United States will proceed from the overall interests of regional peace and stability, be cautious in its words and deeds, not to intervene in the dispute over the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands, and not to do anything that may intensify conflicts and make the situation more complicated." The Japanese media particularly amplified a word used by Vice Chairman Xi Jinping, which is "farce." Vice Chairman Xi Jinping said: "81 years ago, Japan caused the 'September 18th Incident' that shocked China and the rest of the world. Japanese militarism not only caused serious disasters to the Chinese nation, but also caused huge trauma to Asia-Pacific countries, including the United States. Instead of deeply reflecting on the trauma caused by the war to neighboring countries and Asia-Pacific countries, some political forces in Japan intensified their efforts, made mistakes again and again, and staged the farce of 'island purchase'." When TV Asahi commented on the word "farce" in a current affairs program last night, it analyzed specifically: "This sentence shows the future supreme leader of China's anger towards Japan's nationalization of the Senkaku Islands (Note: Chinese name: Diaoyu Islands), and also shows his disdain for the Japanese government's actions." However, we noticed that Vice President Xi Jinping's perspective changed significantly when he discussed the Diaoyu Islands issue with other Chinese leaders. These changes can be interpreted as the following two points: First, when Xi Jinping met with the US Secretary of Defense, he did not put too much emphasis on the Chinese government's "since ancient times" ownership of the Diaoyu Islands from a historical perspective. Instead, he emphasized that the Diaoyu Islands issue is a "legacy issue" that was not dealt with fairly after Japan's war of aggression against China and the end of World War II. He talked about several conventions signed by the victorious group of nations headed by the United States when dealing with the issue of Japan's surrender, and pointed out that the Japanese government had not abided by these conventions. The implication is that the U.S. government and the victorious anti-fascist countries, including Britain and France, failed to supervise the Japanese government's conscientious implementation of these conventions after the war, and should bear some responsibility for the current Diaoyu Islands issue. The views and information disclosed by Vice Chairman Xi Jinping are tantamount to asking Western countries to shoulder their historical responsibilities, urging Japan to keep its promise of surrender, and help China jointly deal with the Diaoyu Islands and issues left over from World War II. This view is a new idea that has never been publicly expressed by Chinese leaders so far. It is obviously a new strategy used by the Chinese government to win European and American countries to understand the Chinese government's position on the Diaoyu Islands issue and support the Chinese government's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Second, when Vice President Xi Jinping met with Minister Panetta, he particularly emphasized the history of the two countries supporting each other and jointly responding to Japanese aggression during the anti-fascist war in World War II. This review of history is a deliberate reminder to the United States that on the issue of Japan, China and the United States were allies in the past, and now they should be comrades in the same trench. The strange situation of "the U.S. military helping Japan to deal with China" should not occur today. Vice President Xi Jinping's reminder from the United States is still unknown whether it can curb the US military's military operations to assist Japan near Okinawa. However, the Japanese government and society have understood a truth through the US government's "neutral position" on the Diaoyu Islands issue: Once China and Japan go to war over the Diaoyu Islands, the US military will not be able to fight side by side with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, let alone act as China's ashes for Japan. From this point of view, the new strategy adopted by the Chinese government to "win over the United States and lobby Europe" is bound to be effective and will play a very important role in resolving the issue of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Because Vice Chairman Xi Jinping must have told the U.S. Secretary of Defense China’s final bottom line on the Diaoyu Islands issue.
