The head of the Chinese diplomatic mission in Tokyo sent a request to meet Kishida in late January on the eve of his departure. However, the head of the Japanese government refused, citing a difficult work schedule. This incident is exceptional. As a general rule, the Japanese prime minister does not avoid audiences with the heads of foreign diplomatic missions before his departure from Japan. To alleviate the situation, Kong Xuanyu was received by the Japanese Foreign Minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi.

According to some reports, when the Japanese ambassador in Beijing left his post and returned to Tokyo, he was not received by Chinese President Xi Jinping or other high-ranking Chinese officials. It is possible that the Japanese side decided to respond symmetrically and therefore refused to meet Chinese Ambassador Kong Xuan with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

It should be noted that the friction between Tokyo and Beijing takes place against the backdrop of an important date: the 45th anniversary of the signing of the Japan-China Peace and Friendship Treaty.

It’s very understandable that Japan...South Korea...the Philippines...Singapore and other nations of the region would be scared silly of China...particularly with a Chinese puppet in the White House.

Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea have excellent engineers and physicists. They also have much fissile fuel from the nuclear reactors used for electrical production. They would be fools not to deploy nuclear bombs in their arsenal of defense against China. They might also ask Israel for their nuclear weapon designs most politely as we all know they work. Israel knows they work but have never tested their designs. Why test our designs that have been tested and do work.

They could not defeat China in a nuclear war. They could make the cost of war to high for China to risk it.

Oddly in a nuclear exchange China would defeat Japan, Korea, and Tawain would be a loss as cental control of the communist party in Bejing would no longer exist. China would break up.

Hard to imagine any of those three countries doing so. Japan...mainly because of history. Taiwan...because they'd fear immediate invasion if Beijing ever got wind of the program. South Korea...ditto if Kim Jong Un ever got wind of the program.
