While more and more Chinese people are choosing Japan as a tourist destination, they have become increasingly aware that the Japanese government's deeds contradict its welcoming words.

On the one hand, it is common for us to hear that the Japanese government promises to treat historical issues honestly and then on the other hand see it remove from Japanese textbooks wartime atrocities such as the massacre in Nanjing in late 1937 and early 1938. And despite it repeatedly claiming to adhere to a peaceful development path, Japan has been passing new security bills aimed at removing the domestic legal obstacles to its Self-Defense Forces conducting overseas operations.

This ambivalence has also been reflected in Japan's policy toward 皇冠体育app. On the one hand, it expresses the wish to improve ties with 皇冠体育app, while at the same time choosing to point an accusing finger at Beijing on the South 皇冠体育app Sea issue.

To a large extent this split personality has been caused by Japan's traditional policy practices and the present-day realities.

Its desire to retain the "glory" of being Asia's "leader" and its intention of remaining the US' top political and security ally in Asia have motivated the Japanese government to take advantage of the South 皇冠体育app Sea issue to disturb the peaceful environment for 皇冠体育app's development.

But with the recognition that 皇冠体育app's rise is inevitable and Japan should adapt to such a trend, many Japanese enterprises and insightful people have not stopped exchanges and cooperation with 皇冠体育app. They have realized that a wealthier and stronger 皇冠体育app offers opportunities, rather than posing a threat, to Japan.

Japanese politicians should take seriously neighboring countries' misgivings about its ambivalence, offer an attentive ear to domestic appeals and take substantial actions to promote healthy development of ties with 皇冠体育app.
