<Senkaku Islands Issue> Real Enemy is
not Japan but U.S. – Conspiracy Having Led Japan into Economic Stagnation of “Lost
Decade” – China Media
Posted: September 23, 2012 6:19
On September 20, 2012,
China Net posted an article “Worsening Japan-China Relations – U.S. Biggest
Winner Having Fished in Troubled Waters.”
“Collapse of Japan-China
economic cooperation and bilateral trade war is the very thing U.S. wants,” Mr. Ho Maochun, Chief of Tsing Hua University Economic Deplomatic
Research Center and Senior Researcher of China Research Center for Public
Policy, points out. The U.S. has continued to respond ambiguously to the Senkaku
issue. According to Mr. Maochun, this
reflects the U.S. secret intentions to weaken East Asia and maintain its grip
on global economic hegemony.
Among anti-Japanese sentiment, some
Japanese corporations in China have been forced to shut down operations. This method will certainly impact Japan’s
economy. Furthermore, if Japanese
corporations withdraw from China and Free Trade Agreement (FTA) among Japan, China
and South Korea is postponed, it will have a negative impact on economic growth
in Asia.
Chief Maochun points out that if so, it is
he U.S. that will become happy. In the
1980s, the U.S. tried to take every possible means in exchange rate, finance
and trade to stop the rising Japan’s economic power. It resulted in Japan’s “Lost Decade.” And since 2008 the U.S. has started to target
on China. Trans-Pacific Strategic
Economic Partnership (TPP) without China is a good example.
“I understand the patriotic fervor of
Chinese citizens and I think that the incident has made Japan understood our
non-negotiable line. However, we have to make it clear that in the current world, the
question is a competition between China and U.S., not one between China and
Japan,” Chief Maochun argues. (Translating・Editing/KT)
