At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Wednesday, Wong said Singapore and fellow Southeast Asian states supported Tokyo stepping into a bigger role in the region, including on the security front, for greater stability.
“We hope the two countries will find ways to resolve these very complex issues and move forward,” Wong said. “ has done that with Japan … We’ve put history aside and we’re moving forward.”
He declined to comment on Takaichi’s initial remarks, and noted that Japan seemed to be inclined to stabilise its relationship with China and not escalate matters.
“I hope China will feel the same way, and while there may be differences, the two countries can still get along and work together,” Wong said.
Lol, the guy who represents a land-locked state that's the 44th most populated by density is chairing the foreign relations committee? This inbred moron and his inbred constituents have ZERO stake in anything foreign relation related. Not to mention Idaho is the most heavily populated state when it comes to Hate Organizations like the KKK, Aryan Nations, Neo Nazis and dozens if not hundreds of other groups. The US is truly running a clown show.
He will regret not keeping his mouth shut in the medium to long term. He could have simply said "I just hope peace is maintained." Nothing more, nothing less. Now he will draw ire during an emotional time for China. Is it "not composed" for China to be emotional at this time? Yes. Does that matter given the entirety of historical and current day context? Nope.Singapore next supapowa?

I mean, shit, if that was gonna be Japan's strategy on the world stage, they have lots of girls who would do a hell of a better job than She-Grinch here! There's all these geishas who trained their whole lives for this kinda gig; they have to feel a little sidelined that a 60 year old whose face looks like it was stapled on by Leatherface got the job...I think the closest is "have some respect for yourself", like if a destitute woman is thinking of selling her body you say that to her. That's why it's all the funnier with Takaichi because she's known to do this with heads of states at international events:

Subianto looks like Tang Sanzang there asking a yaoguai not to hurt him.
I don't think Li Qiang would appreciate her sliding up like that at G20 or trying to corner him in the hallway.
They haven't been brainwashed. A great many of them know exactly what they did. They simply hate China and Chinese people because they resent not being able to continue subjugating China and be the top dog in Asia. Simple as that. Just pure resentment and scorn and probably nowadays, jealousy.It is complicated to blame the average Japanese civilian as they have been brainwashed by their government.
The younger ones are the more brainwashed ones. They learn WW2 from their elders and the schools. The middle-aged boomers and Gen X folks who hates China are the ones who really harbour true racist hatred. They resent the fact that China had risen. These people would find all kinds of excuses to hate China. Whether it's communism or a lack of civility. These people are the ones who teach and brainwash the younger generation to hate China.They haven't been brainwashed. A great many of them know exactly what they did. They simply hate China and Chinese people because they resent not being able to continue subjugating China and be the top dog in Asia. Simple as that. Just pure resentment and scorn and probably nowadays, jealousy.
Well, one of the benefit of going through this event is they will be educated.Man interviewing Japanese civilians on the streets about the recent Sino-Japan tensions.
Unfortunately, only one old man knew the historical context of what caused the tensions. The others were either blissfully unaware, or were openly supportive of it. They expressed shock, and disgust for China's reaction to Sanae Takaichi's statement. Many of them even support Japan's involvement in an Armed Reunification scenario. Takaichi's approval ratings have also gone up because of this.
Many of the interviewees thought that Taiwan is a separate country from China and a friendly one to Japan. One woman said that Taiwan helped Japan during disasters, so they must help it. Didn't mainland China offered to help Japan too during disasters you fool? Another middle aged man says that if China invades Taiwan, they would come for Okinawa too. Okinawa (Ryukyu) doesn't actually belong to Japan after their surrender in WW2. It was supposed to be an independent nation.
When asked about the Chinese travel bans, many are pleased. They believed that Chinese tourists are rude and uncivilized. Well, I'm also happy for you people. Enjoy more Americans and Indian tourists, and less revenue then.
Most Japanese are unfortunately blissfully unaware about their ugly history. Some even openly despise China. They don't know how deep the anger goes in China and the Chinese diaspora. It is complicated to blame the average Japanese civilian as they have been brainwashed by their government. But stupidity like this can lead to war. Japan's aggression and barbarity in the Sino-Japanese Wars had the full support of the civilian population due in no small part to propaganda, brain washing, and religion. This is a major long term problem for Japan.
I don't think most Japanese know how close they are on a path to war with China. They are lucky that mainland China is ruled by the CPC. They have much better strategic patience than any democratic government. However the Japanese also appear to be unaware that this is not the era where China is weak and defenceless. If they would willingly go to war with China over Taiwan, it'll be the last one for the Japan that they know.
