"Three days ago, I submitted my letter of nationality to An Sanxian and officially became the Chinese ambassador to Japan. I am honored to work in Japan in the future, so I want to meet and chat with all the journalists and friends and get to know each other."

Mu Yang's tone of speaking is flat, but he is not as slow as some Chinese leaders. He only appears calm and graceful, but also very powerful.

Mu Yang did not say any long speech, but went straight to the topic. After a brief introduction, it was a reporter's questioning session.

To be honest, a real press conference cannot be held casually, and requires a long time to prepare in advance. Generally speaking, there will be a team responsible for organizing the list of questions and formulating answer templates.

The reporter's questions are diverse, but as the questioned person, he cannot say that he cannot answer them. This is a special test of a person's ability.

Mu Yang is probably the only one who dares to hold a press conference directly.

A Japanese reporter asked: "Hello Ambassador Muyang, there are different opinions on Japan-China relations. In Japan, there are different opinions on "becoming" and "the situation has not improved". How does Ambassador Muyang view the current situation of bilateral relations? If the ambassador believes that the status quo is not optimistic, then what do you think the problem lies? What efforts do both sides need to make to improve Japan-China relations? Thank you."

Mu Yang Xiaoxiao, this question can be said to be a question that someone will definitely raise, and today is also good as the beginning.

Mu Yang stretched out his finger and said with great momentum: "Due to Japan's wrong approach on history and other issues, Sino-Japanese relations have indeed been very hurt in recent years. Although the two countries' relations have shown signs of improvement with the efforts of people of knowledge on both sides, the prospects are still not optimistic. Because the Japanese government and leaders, on the one hand, continue to claim to improve Japan-China relations, and on the other hand, they are constantly causing trouble for China. This is actually a typical "two-faced" approach."

"China and Japan live next to each other, across the sea, and the people of the two countries also have a tradition of friendship. Of course, we hope that China-Japan relations can truly improve. But as the saying goes, "The root of curing diseases must be cut off." For China-Japan relations, the root of the problem lies in the problem of the Japanese rulers' understanding of China. In the face of China's development, should we regard China as a friend or an enemy? As a partner or an opponent? Japan should think carefully about this issue and think through it."

Tough, absolutely tough.

After listening to these two passages by Mu Yang, the first reaction of the reporters was that this ambassador Mu Yang was definitely a hardliner. Is it really good to have this tone from an ambassador? Are you not afraid of arousing disgust from the Japanese government and causing trouble for his future work?

However, from the first question Mu Yang answered, people can see that this ambassador is definitely not the kind of soft guy.

This tone is used even to question.

It seems that today's reporters are interesting, and when they think of this, the reporters are all excited.

Many people raise their hands and ask for questions.

Mu Yang gave another advice.

"I am a reporter from Kyodo News Agency of Japan. Mu Yang. I would like to ask questions about the ocean, which is how China draws a blueprint for building a maritime power, how to ease friction with neighboring countries, including Japan, and whether China's diplomacy will be more aggressive."

Mu Yang smiled and replied in extremely fluent Japanese: "When you asked this question, I noticed that many Chinese journalists laughed. In fact, if you are in China, what you hear will be completely different is almost another opinion. Many Chinese people's opinions, including those of media people, hope that China will be tougher, especially when facing provocations, hope to have a tougher attitude. It seems that there are great differences between our two countries."

"First from a policy perspective, I mentioned earlier that China adheres to an independent and peaceful foreign policy. On the one hand, we must firmly safeguard our sovereignty and interests, and on the other hand, we also actively safeguard regional peace and world peace. This basic principle and position has not been shaken for 30 years. However, when some problems arise, when facing some difficulties in territorial disputes, some countries take provocative actions. What should we do? We should respond decisively, face and deal with this issue. I think this is also an important signal sent to this region. We must maintain regional peace and maintain the peace order in this region. The Asia-Pacific region must maintain peace in the world. There must be credibility between countries, keep each other's promises, and keep the consensus reached, otherwise it will be in chaos."

"You just mentioned how to resolve disputes with neighboring countries. The reasons for the differences between China and Japan are clearer and more explained, so I will not repeat them anymore. China hopes to resolve differences and contradictions through dialogue, consultation and negotiation. Chinese people often say "one slap can't slap", and both sides must have such a willingness. If the other party chooses tough measures and chooses to betray the consensus, then China also has a saying that "it is not polite to come but not to go."

As tough as ever.

Especially those Chinese journalists, they all feel excited.

Another reporter asked about the Diaoyu Islands issue.

Mu Yang said in a relaxed tone: "This can be said to be a cliché. It seems that someone will ask about this question as soon as Chinese officials are interviewed."

As soon as Mu Yang finished saying this, a reporter chuckled below.

Immediately, Mu Yang said on his face: "Then I will reiterate here that Diaoyu Island is China's inherent territory, and this position will never change. China also has a firm determination to maintain territorial security."

"In fact, the basic facts of the Diaoyu Islands are very clear. First, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Japan stole the Diaoyu Islands from the Qing government at that time. This historical fact is clear. The documents, archives and books of Japanese scholars have recorded this. I really hope that these situations can be heard by the Japanese people."

"There are many media reports about the territorial dispute between China and Japan. I think there is no dispute at all. Diaoyu Island belongs to China. There is no dispute. It is just how to obtain it. It requires consultation between the two countries."

"As for the South China Sea issue you mentioned, I think there is no controversy about it. Like the Diaoyu Islands, the South China Sea islands also belong to China and are irrefutable."
