Back at home, Mu Yang reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Minister Yang smiled and said, "The President of the Myanmar government, hundreds of military and political officials, business representatives, and Chinese and overseas Chinese representatives together to send you off your post. Your treatment is unprecedented."

"I have been an ambassador of the Four Kingdoms before, but I have never enjoyed the treatment of you. You are now well-known nationwide and are also considered a star in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Mu Yang said embarrassedly, "I don't know that President Sai Maokang would make it so grand, it's indeed a bit beyond the reach."

"It's nothing. It has a close relationship with the political leaders of the country where they are located. Can it better reflect the strength of Chinese diplomats? Others can't enjoy this kind of treatment. By the way, your appointment has been decided." Minister Yang said.

Mu Yang's expression moved, "Where is it?"

Minister Yang smiled and said, "Haha, you always say that you are a mature young man and do steadily. It seems that you are also very nervous about where you will go to work."

"After all, is it related to work in the next few years?" Mu Yang said.

"This time you have to be mentally prepared. The leader is ready to send you to serve as the Japanese ambassador." Minister Yang said here, his face calmed a little. Mu Yang knew that the leader must have something to say, so he didn't say anything.

"Being a Japanese ambassador is not easy, and you may encounter many difficult problems."

"In terms of the current form in Japan, since the Ansan-San government came to power, a major outstanding transformation in Japan's diplomacy has been stubborn and persistently adhering to the "check and balance China" strategy, and is incompatible with China on issues such as diplomacy and security strategies. Regardless of the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, the Taiwan Debt issue or the tension in the South China Sea, whether it is against the United States, Russia, South Korea relations, or Europe, India and ASEAN, the Ansan-San government almost all regard "isolation, crackdown and containment" China as an important goal of diplomacy."

"Reinterpretation of the Constitution, the passage of a new security bill, the adoption of the New Japan-US defense cooperation pointer, and a series of military expansion and preparation operations such as a significant increase in military spending have constituted the "one and two sides" of Japan's security strategy. Japan-China relations have truly become one of the most unstable "strategic opponent relations" in the Asia-Pacific region. Driven by this strategy, the Ansan-San government will continue to seek amendment of the Constitution, completely breaking the final restrictions on Japanese diplomacy, military and overseas operations by the "no war clause" and then completely bid farewell to Japan's peace system after the war."

"I used to be an ambassador in Japan and know Japan very well. The policy of "strategic hostility to China" pursued by the Ansan government today is the inevitable result of the change in the power structure of the Asia-Pacific region in the past 20 years. This is the role of the so-called "security dilemma."

"After China's development surpasses Japan, the balance of power and strength between countries will inevitably cause psychological and policy effects of uneasiness, even fear, and will then dominate the country's diplomacy, security and strategic choices. For China and Japan, the role of this "security dilemma" is even more obvious."

"At present, the confrontation between China and Japan on "historical issues" is still serious. The psychological confrontation and mutual dislike of the people of the two countries continue to deepen. The two governments have serious divisions in respect of the value system. This deterioration of diplomatic and security relations has even more impacted by changes in changes in the "cognitive structure" rather than simply "power structure". Under the influence of these factors, for a rising China, Japan's diplomatic and strategic adjustments have begun in the late 1990s, but it has begun to enter a "qualitative change" during the period of the Ansan-san government."

"A Japan, which is facing China everywhere and has the basic goal of "challenging and checking and balancing China" in diplomatic and strategic terms, will still bring heavy strategic pressure to China for a long time."

"The Ansan-San government will continue to "demonize" China on security issues, such as giving China the label of "the status quo changer" because of our reasonable, legal and reasonable rights protection actions in the South China Sea, or regarding China as a "revisionist country" that has historically tried to use force to change the existing order, just like a militarist country and a fascist country. The Ansan-San government is actually desperately using the "Chinese factor" to abandon the pacifist constitution and security system for it to abandon the pacifist constitution and security system."

"Japan's threat to China is far from the resurrection militarism that many Chinese people imagine, but a real and multi-faceted isolation policy towards China, ugliness of public opinion, diplomatic provocation and security threats."

"In recent years, it should be said that China-Japan relations have been in a relatively difficult state. Many problems have occurred, including territorial issues and historical issues. The relationship between the two countries has reached the lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations."

"Your job is to go to the front line to observe, understand the relevant situation, analyze and judge the situation, and respond accurately. Diplomacy is not trivial, there are traps everywhere, so be careful at all times when working, continue to exert your subjective initiative and carry out your work pioneeringly. I hope you can achieve good results in Japan."

Minister Yang has worked in Japan for 8 years and has been the ambassador to Japan for three years. He can be said to be a real expert on Japanese issues. Today, Minister Yang has a strong conversation, talked about a lot of Sino-Japanese issues, and also spoke deeply, which has benefited Mu Yang a lot.

"Our diplomatic strategy against Japan is used in eight words to describe it, striving for friendship, and fighting as long as it should. Didn't the strategic mutually beneficial relationship be concluded in the first place?" Minister Yang said.

Strategic reciprocity relationship, this is the only diplomatic relationship that China has established with Japan.

What is strategic reciprocity? The treaty is very long and simple, and develop lasting peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries on the basis of the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.

Resolve all disputes with peaceful means without resorting to force and threats of force.

Neither party should seek hegemony in Asia and the Pacific or any other region and oppose any other efforts to establish such hegemony.

The Contracting Parties will work hard to further develop the economic and cultural relations between the two countries and promote exchanges between the two peoples in accordance with the principles of equality, mutual benefit and mutual non-interference in internal affairs.

In plain words, we'd better not fight, not make trouble, and not bully anyone. If the relationship is good, develop friendship. If the relationship is bad, don't pay attention to anyone.

"In terms of China-Japan relations and China's policy to Japan, China still attaches great importance to Japan's relations. China-Japan relations are still one of our most important bilateral relations. China will continue to seek long-term, stable and healthy development of China-Japan relations. However, on the issue of principle, we will never give in."
