Chapter 2036 Li Dengshen, it seems that a dream has come true!
(Three more to 10,000 words completed)
The Japanese have not yet made a decision on whether or not to agree to Li Dengshen's "medical treatment" in Japan?
However, a discerning person can see at a glance that the Japanese attitude on this matter is very ambiguous, and Japan only said that it has not made a decision for the time being, but it has not given a clear answer on whether or not to agree to Li Dengshen's visit to Japan for "medical treatment." In connection with the Taiwan issue that the Republic is currently engaged in negotiations with the United States, and the fact that the Japanese side has said several times a few days ago that Japan should participate in the consultations on the Taiwan issue between China and the United States, but the mainland and the United States have ignored it. It will also be possible to see what the Japanese are thinking: The Japanese are planning to make a fuss about Li Dengshen's visit to Japan to "see a doctor," and in the past, they used to take advantage of the good opportunity of Li Denghui's visit to Japan to "see a doctor" to seek a ticket for Japan in this meeting
Now, the Japanese kicked the ball to the mainland side: we made a bid, what about you? What do you mean?
Understanding the meaning of Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono's words, everyone turned their attention to the mainland, and everyone was waiting for the mainland's response: After the Japanese set their own conditions, will the Chinese be forced to agree to Japan's participation in this consultation on the "peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue"?
…………………………………………
This answer, the republic did not make people wait too long.
The next day, almost immediately following the statement of Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic was immediately headed by the Secretary of State of the United States in North America and the United States. Minister Li, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, who is conducting closed-door "consultations" on the Taiwan issue and the current crisis in the Taiwan Strait, held a press conference in North America and gave a clear response to the conditions offered by the Japanese
"First of all, we have to make it clear that Li Denghui is the chief representative of Taiwan's Taiwan independence forces, and after his defeat in the election for Taiwan's supreme leader, he has never stopped his activities to split China. He has been plotting to visit Japan under various pretexts, and this time he has again used the pretext of going to Japan for 'medical treatment,' with the aim of peddling his 'Taiwan independence' proposition and seeking support in Japan. This time, some individual political figures in the Taiwan authorities also helped Li Dengshen and openly claimed that this was the so-called 'problem of the whole country,' which fully shows that Li Denghui's visit to Japan is by no means a visit to Japan by a 'civilian,' nor is it a so-called 'humanitarian issue,' but an out-and-out political issue. ”
"In the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, the Japanese government explicitly promised to fully understand and respect the Chinese government's position on the Taiwan issue, and has since repeatedly stated that it adheres to the one-China principle and does not support 'Taiwan independence'. The two countries have intersected, and it is a great believe. The Japanese side allowed Li Dengshen, who fabricated the 'two-state theory' and engaged in separatist activities on a large scale, to go to Japan, which seriously violated the principles of the "Sino-Japanese Joint Statement," reneged on the solemn commitments it made, and undermined the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations. ”
"The Chinese side has repeatedly explained through various channels the serious political nature of the issue of Li Denghui's visit to Japan, and demanded that the Japanese side abide by the basic principles of the Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration and the Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration and prevent Li Denghui's activities in Japan. It would be a very regrettable matter for the Japanese side to insist on allowing Li Dengshen to leave the country in disregard of China's repeated representations and solemn stand, and the Chinese Government strongly protests against this. ”
Finally, Minister Li stressed that "the Japanese side has not yet given due explanations to the Chinese people on the textbook issue, and this time it has created an incident on the Taiwan issue." In order to maintain the political foundation of China-Japan relations and the seriousness of the China-Japan Joint Statement and the China-Japan Joint Declaration, China has no choice but to make necessary responses. ”
On the matter of the territorial integrity of the Republic, the attitude of the Republic has always been extremely firm.
In fact, after counting Li Dengshen's previous four trips to Japan, each trip to Japan was "the drunkard's intention is not to drink":
In April 2001, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori made the decision to allow Li Denghui to enter the country before he was about to resign. Lee was allowed to go to a hospital in Kurashiki, Japan, to receive heart treatment. As a result, from April 22 to 26, Li Dengshen began his first trip to Japan after leaving office. The 5-day "medical journey" takes only 15 minutes in total. On April 22, Li Denghui, who "promised the Japanese government not to engage in political activities," secretly "had breakfast" with Yuriko Koike, a member of the Japanese Diet.
On 7 May 2001, Makiko Tanaka, then Japan's Foreign Minister Koizumi, pledged in a telephone meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan that Japan would not issue an entry visa to Li Denghui in the future. …,
On December 27, 2004, Li Denghui went on a seven-day "New Year's Nostalgic Tour" to Japan. On 2 January 2005, when Li Denghui returned to Taiwan, Japan's Kyodo News Agency published a commentary entitled "Li Denghui is determined to strengthen Japan-Taiwan relations and take Japan as a model for 'Taiwan's founding.'"
On May 30, 2006, Li Denghui began his third 11-day so-called "academic tour" to Japan after leaving office. On 7 June, Li Denghui went to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo to "pay respects" to his brother Lee Teng-chin (known as "Iwasato Takenori" in Japan). The real purpose of Li Denghui's visit is to stir up the sensitive "Yasukuni nerve" in Sino-Japanese relations.
However, Li Dengshen himself did not realize that his various "small actions" could no longer reverse the overall situation of peace and development of cross-strait relations, and ultimately could not change the mutually beneficial relationship between China and Japan based on strategic interests...... Japan is not stupid, the most important thing in national exchanges is interests, will the Japanese still have trouble with money?
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the Japanese side's response to Minister Li's hardline attitude; after Minister Li's press conference ended, Japanese Ambassador to the United States Anami Yushige, who had been waiting outside the press conference for a long time, immediately secretly met with Minister Li and made clear to Minister Li the Japanese Government's position on the matter of Li Denghui's visit to Japan for "medical treatment."
"The Japanese side will carefully consider whether or not to decide whether or not to provide Mr. Li Dengshen with medical treatment in Japan, but please rest assured that even if China makes a decision to agree to Mr. Li Denghui's decision to go to Japan for 'medical treatment,' the Japanese side will strictly limit Mr. Li Denghui's itinerary in Japan to the scope of medical treatment, and the Japanese Government's stance of adhering to the principles of the Japan-China Joint Statement will not change."
Minister Li was greatly displeased when he heard this, and resolutely brushed his sleeves away, leaving behind the following sentence before leaving: "Even if the Japanese side strictly restricts Li Dengshen's itinerary in Japan to the scope of medical treatment, it will allow Li Denghui, a 'Taiwan independence element,' to go to Japan, and this has already violated the fundamental purpose of the "Sino-Japanese Joint Statement...... Mr. Anan, I will truthfully state to the Chinese Government your country's attitude toward the Japanese Government on the issue of Li Denghui, a Taiwan independence element, going to Japan. ”
There is no doubt that Minister Li was able to make such a strong statement to Anan Weimao, which must have been authorized by the Chinese government.
He did not expect that the Chinese would take such a tough stance on Lee Teng-hui's visit to Japan to "see a doctor," or that they would not allow Japan to participate in closed-door consultations between China and the United States on the Taiwan Strait crisis: It seems that Prime Minister Abe's plan may be in trouble.
………………………………………………………………
Perhaps it was the republic's hardline attitude that stimulated the Japanese government, and only two days later, Japan suddenly changed its tone, and after the meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese Foreign Minister Yohei Kono said in an interview with reporters after the meeting, when asked by reporters whether "the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has agreed to issue a visa to Mr. Li Denghui, the former president of Taiwan, who went to Japan for 'medical treatment'", Kono Yohei said: "In view of the fact that Mr. Li Denghui's condition is already very serious, out of humanitarian considerations, The Japanese Government has decided to issue a visa to Lee Teng-hui. ”
However, when asked by a reporter whether there are any differences of opinion within the Japanese Government on the issue of granting a visa to Lee Teng-hui to Japan, Kono frankly admitted that there are still some officials within the Japanese Government who oppose the issue of a visa to Lee Teng-hui. This is because these people believe that although Lee Teng-hui, who once preached "Taiwan independence," claimed that his current visit to Japan was entirely for personal reasons and that he had no political motives, because the recent trade and textbook issues have caused tension in Sino-Japanese relations, the granting of visas to Lee Teng-hui at this time is bound to affect the normal relations between the two countries.
This can be regarded as a foreshadowing laid by the Japanese Government for changing its attitude in the future: If the Chinese agree to Japan's participation in the closed-door consultations between China and the United States on the Taiwan issue, the Japanese Government can quickly change its attitude and refuse to issue a visa to Li Denghui on the grounds that there is no consensus within the Japanese Government.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported that they had interviewed Li Denghui, who was still in Taiwan, and that Mr. Li Denghui himself said that if the Japanese Government allowed him to go to Japan, then according to the plan, he would arrive at the Shenxi Airport in Osaka, Japan, on Sunday evening. He will spend the night in Osaka before heading to Kurashiki.
According to a report by NHK, the Japanese broadcasting association, as far as they know, after reaching a relevant agreement with Lee Teng-hui's agent, the Japanese government made the decision to allow Lee Teng-hui to go to Japan for medical treatment. However, in the report, the NHK also explained that there was a restriction agreement between the Japanese Government and Mr. Lee Teng-hui that Mr. Lee Teng-hui would go to Japan for medical treatment, and that after Lee Teng-hui arrived in Japan, he could only go to Kurashiki City in western Japan and receive cardiac treatment at a hospital in Kurashiki...... Kurashiki City is located in the western part of Japan, 550 kilometers from Tokyo, and at this distance, it is far from Tokyo, the "political center" of Japan.
The Japanese still left plenty of room for possible regret in the future.
Japan's Kyodo News report is even more outrageous, they "quoted" a senior official of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the senior official of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that if everything goes well, Mr. Li Denghui's visa will be officially issued to Mr. Lee Teng-hui on the evening ......of the 20th.
