Second, China has shown restraint in reacting firmly and calmly to Japan's frequent provocations. Although Abe has taken a hardline stance toward China, China has not used the tit-for-tat strategy given the overall and long-term interests of the two countries.
Third, China is confident about properly handling its relations with Japan. Gone are the days when Japan committed atrocities in China. China is now powerful and smart enough to deal with Japan's various provocations and tricks.
It is pure wishful thinking for Japan to encircle China in cooperation with its allies. Even the United States, the world's s only superpower, has admitted that it is unable to contain China's rise, not to mention Japan. The United States once formed a "values alliance," but its relations with other countries fundamentally depend on national interests.
The Abe administration's attempt to encircle China is bound to fail. Abe is actually running blindly around China, and will eventually shift his attention back to improving relations with China. China and China-Japan relations are an unavoidable issue facing Japan, and the Japanese government should make great efforts in this regard.
China attaches great importance to its relations with Japan, and has no intention of coming into conflict with Japan. As Abe just took office, Beijing might as well give him more time. As for Japan's China-related moves, the Chinese government just needs to react calmly, flexibly, and firmly.
