Those Japanese people are trully naive, there are no productivity at all for Japanese government to go for a WTO arbitration. What China is doing only hurts itself. /s
Today's flagship editorial publication of Nikkei news: the export control will only backfire on China, listing the following reasons as main argument.
1. Chinese government has not specified which products will be targeted. It is believed that the target will be on a wide range of products including rare earth, but by leaving the details vague.
2. China is using the accusation of a revival of militarism to criticize Japan, however Japan has no such intentions or capabilities. The United States, Europe, and other major Asian countries know this. Such unfounded slander only serves to tarnish China's dignity.
3. XJP's pressure on Japan increases anxious about the threat posed by China, resulting further rising support for the Takaichi administration. The measurement itself will only lead to strengthening unity of Japanese people.
I don't know what to say anymore, heck even simply translating this article feels foolish and gave me mental illness. You cannot persuade a brainwashed fanatic psychopath.
