Japan is absolutely furious at the Trump regime for its massive betrayal. This past week, Donald Trump calling up the new prime minister of Japan, Sanae Takeishi, and saying you need to tone down your rhetoric as it relates to China. Stop telling China that Japan would have to intervene and protect Taiwan if China invaded Taiwan. Japan has no right to do that and stop offending China. And Japan is like, what are you talking about? Aren't we supposed to be your biggest geostrategic ally in this region? You're going after us for saying something that we thought was consistent with where the United States was about protecting Taiwan. And we're not raising the temperature at all. It's China who's been engaged in all of these things.
very furtive, very aggressive actions against Japan and others in the region and is posturing like it's going to invade Taiwan. And you're telling us to tone down the temperature for simply saying in response to an invasion, Japan would have to do something. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, you know, I'm going to do what Xi Jinping tells me to do. Now, we know that China has completely outmaneuvered the United States in the U.S. 's trade war against the world. And this came at a perfect time as China was asserting itself as a more stable and reliable multilateral partner as opposed to the United States. And also, China saw the U.S. pulling back its role and its leadership in the world. They are aware of
Marco Rubio and others who viewed the world through a multipolar lens of the United States, of Russia and China. And then all the other kind of countries are less important. And that's the framework with which Donald Trump sees something throwing our allies in Europe and Canada, Australia and elsewhere under the bus and not paying attention or just being outright hostile to that. Or taking on a conquest type mentality, which is what Donald Trump does with Canada, 51st state or Greenland or, you know, in other places like that. We see Donald Trump elevating Russia to a position that it shouldn't and harming our relationship with NATO, basically pulling the U.S., out of that, and we see Donald Trump throwing Japan under the bus.
And, you know, we've seen Chinese foreign ministers and Chinese leaders attacking Takeishi, because she said in a speech in front of their parliament in Japan, that Japan would help Taiwan. And ever since Takeishi said this, Japan basically used this, or China used this as a way to test the United States, and they got their answer. Trump is weak and pathetic. I mean, take a look at just some of these statements that have been made by Chinese officials since Takeishi said, if China invades, Japan would have to help Taiwan. This is from China's defense ministry spokesperson, Jiang Bin. If the Japanese side dares to cross the line even half a step, it will inevitably pay a painful price. She said what she should not say and crossed the red line that should not be touched.
That's from China's foreign minister Wang Yi. You have China's Taiwan affair office spokesperson.
