Is Japan trying to find a backdoor with China and Russia? With China and Russia teaming up to restrain Kishi, the first target for strikes is emerging in case of conflict. The saying goes: "Good words are hard to advise a dying ghost," and this is certainly true for Kishi Sanae. Trump made a phone call urging her not to further provoke China, but it went in one ear and out the other, and before long she reached out to the rear of both China and Russia. What exactly is she trying to do? The Japanese government has decided to hold a Central Asia summit in December, inviting leaders from the five Central Asian countries to Tokyo to discuss cooperation with Japanese Prime Minister Kishi Sanae. However, it is obvious to anyone that against the backdrop of the historical low points in Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese relations, Kishi wants to extend Japan's influence into Central Asia, and it is certainly not just for the markets of the five Central Asian countries. Kishi's aim to court the five Central Asian countries is actually very clear: firstly, to align with the U.S. Central Asia policy, and secondly, to influence the diplomatic stance of the five Central Asian countries. In recent years, the U.S. has invested considerable effort in courting the five Central Asian countries, regardless of how the leaders of the five “Stans” think, they still hold a summit with the leaders of the Central Asian countries every year. Japan hosting a similar summit in Tokyo is, in fact, showcasing Japan's posture of moving in step with the U.S. in diplomatic policy. Meanwhile, with Japan and both China and Russia at odds, Japan's actions also aim to exchange absolute interests for the Central Asian countries to maintain neutrality in their political and diplomatic stance. However, Kishi's efforts are doomed to be in vain; from a certain perspective, the five Central Asian countries, along with Mongolia and the U.S.-Japan alliance, are maintaining contacts with special geopolitical circumstances to seek benefits. Yet, whether it is the U.S., Japan, South Korea, or European countries, it is difficult to change the stance of the Central Asian countries because the objective geopolitical situation is set. The five Central Asian countries will not, cannot, and dare not cooperate with the Western world to undermine the security situation in the rear of both China and Russia. In fact, it is already too late for Japan to change tactics; China and Russia are fully prepared for counterattacks. After Kishi made erroneous remarks, a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, "If Japan militarily intervenes in the Taiwan Strait issue, it will be regarded as an act of aggression," defined all actions of the Kishi government. The term "act of aggression" might be commonplace in the U.S., but it is an absolute bottom line in China. Several wars in Chinese history were launched for self-defense against aggression. Once Japan's acts of aggression are made clear, the consequences need not be elaborated. In addition to defining the actions of Kishi's cabinet, China has also elevated the issue of Kishi's cabinet to a new level. In a letter to the UN Secretary-General and all member states, China explicitly stated that the erroneous remarks and actions of Kishi's cabinet are provocative acts that violate the correct historical view, essentially challenging the post-World War II order. This is not a warning from China; the Taiwan issue is not just a consensus of the world but also clearly stated in the official documents establishing the post-World War II order. Japan's failure to acknowledge or hinder China's unification is essentially interfering in China's internal affairs and blocking the operation of the post-World War II order. From this perspective, Japan is not only an enemy of 1.4 billion Chinese people but also an enemy of the entire world. Compared to China's actions, Russia's measures against Japan are more characterized by "Slavic features." Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova issued warnings regarding Japan's erroneous remarks and dangerous actions on the 18th, 20th, and 27th, emphasizing the dangers posed by the deployment of offensive weapons by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in disputed areas to regional security. Zakharova's condemnation of Japan aligns very well with the territorial defense policy promoted by the Putin government in recent years. Objectively speaking, the Japanese government and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have demonstrated increasing aggressiveness over the past several years, especially after Shinzo Abe promoted the lifting of the ban on collective self-defense rights. Japan now possesses the capability to threaten Russia's security, which, coupled with Japan's special relationship with the U.S., has raised Russia's vigilance. Zakharova clearly stated in her third warning that Russia reserves the right to respond firmly to Japan, meaning that Russia has the right to take military action to protect its legitimate rights when Japan undermines global peace and stability. At the same time, while China and Russia take their respective actions, they are also discussing how to deal with the Kishi cabinet together. According to the Foreign Ministry, from November 28 to December 20, 2025, China and Russia held three rounds of consultations at the bureau level in Moscow, covering topics such as outer space security, missile issues, and artificial intelligence, with both sides exchanging in-depth views on topics of mutual concern. In addition, Russia invited Wang Yi to Russia in December for the twentieth round of high-level strategic security consultations. Various evidence shows that as the situation in East Asia becomes increasingly threatened by the Kishi cabinet, China and Russia are maintaining close contact, clearly intending to jointly address the deteriorating situation in East Asia. In the past two years, China and Russia have conducted numerous joint military exercises around Japan, but there has been a lack of regular joint patrols. This might be a good strategy aimed at Japan, as Japan is an island nation that fears its maritime shipping routes being blocked. If China and Russia can demonstrate their relevant strength, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the right-wing factions in Japan, as they say, "One does not know the pain until the stick hits oneself." Only by truly letting these right-wingers understand the consequences of offending China and Russia can Kishi's cabinet's mindset be genuinely changed. However, if Japan insists on going its own way, it is not impossible. China has actually made ample preparations and may have already determined the first targets for strikes after the outbreak of war. What are these targets? Firstly, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces base on Yonaguni Island is undoubtedly the primary target. This is the forefront of the Japanese government's interference in the Taiwan Strait situation, possessing advanced radar and being home to relevant intelligence departments all year round, making it the first choice for the deployment of offensive weapons by the Self-Defense Forces. As one of the most threatening bases, Yonaguni Island is certainly the first target for strikes. To be honest, Japan has probably guessed that Yonaguni Island is the primary target. Therefore, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have been arming surrounding islands such as Ishigaki, Naha, and Miyako Island in recent years to achieve dispersed deployment and prevent being taken out in one blow by the PLA's missiles. But ultimately, all of Japan's attempts are in vain; the PLA has enough missiles to strike all Japanese Self-Defense Forces bases. What Kishi Sanae should do now is apologize, rather than continue to provoke China and Russia.
