Japan will keep calling for China to act responsibly, Kishida says

China just cannot help itself. It's on a mission to demand respect in the only ways it knows how, devoid of wisdom. Might as well talk to the wind.

How about calling China to discuss ways to de-escalate?

How does that go, dbsaiya? Ask them nicely to demilitarise the South China Sea, which they did illegally and in contravention of their own promises? Ask them to respect what they signed up for with the UK over Hong Kong as one country two systems? Come on, China has no principles except extreme self-interest on which to base discussion. It has shown its hand and it couldn't help but do so. It cannot be trusted. So, no one does trust it, and it can only jump up and down and hysterically accuse the world of ... not trusting it. China needs to make some first moves.

Hahahaha

Good luck with that.

Responsibility's two-way street, Xi might for example call on BOJ 'money-printing responsibility' after all!

Stability and responsibility go hand in hand but it's FAR tougher in this global tech. culture where everything's legacy even before hitting the market!

Good luck with that. China does not act responsibly. China acts solely for it's own interests at the expense of anyone and anything else.

small japan will teach to BIG China how to act.. WTF!!!!

Japan will keep calling for China to act responsibly, Kishida says

Hah.

You telling me Japan or Kishida knows what responsibility is all about?

Maybe stop coming up with endless excuses, false promises and unlimited scapegoats first?

Then talk about responsibility……

How about GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY SUMMIT?

Let's fix it all at once as it's all connected; pandemic, proxy wars, starvation, inflation, corruption, climate, energy shortages, WMDs, technology, proliferation, etc.

Japan will keep calling for China

If that means picking up the phone, calling Xi to discuss the issues, then I am with him!

Thanks to Japan's 50 years colonial rule caused the Taiwan time bomb in Asia. When your ancestors took that island away from our grand grand father generation in 1895 leaving a big mess to Chinese and later generations. Many Taiwanese didn't know they were Chinese and their ancestors came from China. And the KMT, Chiang's family made things even worst.

Whose responsibility of the above?

In other words Japan will keep provoking China?

When your ancestors took that island away from our grand grand father generation in 1895 leaving a big mess to Chinese and later generations. Many Taiwanese didn't know they were Chinese and their ancestors came from China.

This is the dumbest comment ever!!!

Many Taiwanese didn't know their ancestors came from China. What???? The distance is about 100 miles from each other.

Hah.

You telling me Japan or Kishida knows what responsibility is all about?

Then talk about responsibility……

well said shogun!

I think that ship has sailed. The current leadership is more interested in empire than even profit.

China is not a team player, as it does not work well with others. China likes to think it is a leader others should respect and obey. Unfortunately China has no wisdom, lacks morals and sympathy for others and does not support the ideals of freedom and fair play.

It is true that no nation is completely trustworthy, but China takes it to a whole new level.

Japan will keep asking China to act responsibly and China will continue to ignore Japanese advise. As others have already pointed out, China cares about nothing but itself and the desires of Jinping Xi the current Emperor of China.

Contain Chinese empire building and military ambitions, out of safety for the region and the world. China is unable to be a world leader with its self centered actions driving its behavior.

Such a pity China chooses not to be a good global citizen and instead desires the mantle of world domination through increased military building that outstrips all others. Already with the worlds largest army and navy it continues to work on air force and nuclear size and capacity. There seems no end to this buildup, forcing an arms race around the globe.

Total CCP nonsense. The Taiwanese were various aboriginal tribes. The Han Chinese came and took over Taiwan. They were kicked out by the Japanese. Japan surrendered and gave Taiwan back to it's rightful owner The Repubkic of China in whose control the island remains today.

The only nation at fault is China (PRC) which has never controlled Taiwan, did not even exist until 4 years after WWII ended, and is threatening to invade it on the false pretext of "reunification". \

OssanAmerica, trying to justify that Taiwanese are not Chinese is absurd. The words, “China has never controlled Taiwan” are Western propaganda which have no basis of truth. Even the former leader of Taiwan said recently that “People on both sides of the Taiwan strait are Chinese people, and are both descendants of the Yan and Yellow emperors.”

The words, “China has never controlled Taiwan” are Western propaganda which have no basis of truth.

You have some proof the PRC controlled the island? As far as Taiwan is concerned the PRC doesn't have the Divine Mandate of Heaven, which we all know was actually the Divine Mandate of Moscow.

The words, “China has never controlled Taiwan” are Western propaganda which have no basis of truth.

You seem confused. The Republic of China has ruled Taiwan and still does to this day.

The PRC ruled by the CCP has never ruled Taiwan and still does not to this day.

The Western propaganda of which you refer, is that PRC has never ever ruled Taiwan and that statement is factually correct.
