Objectively speaking, it can be said that without Japan's participation in our reform and opening up, there would be no us today. Japan has given us huge economic and technical assistance and interest-free loans for many years. Our chemical industry, electric power, railway, steel metallurgy and many other industries have received a lot of assistance from Japan, and even our most advanced Baosteel has benefited from Japanese technical assistance. We don't mention the massive assistance provided by the Soviet Union in the Korean War, including weapons support and air support, which doesn't mean that the Soviet Union didn't take credit. The same is true of Japan.

Today, high-end die steel, high-end alloys, advanced materials, advanced sensors, advanced industrial control, advanced electromechanical integration and advanced equipment have left Japan. . . . Our high technology can only be traced back to ancient times.

Without Japan's advanced core components, our industrial equipment, including ships, speedboats, automobiles, electronic appliances, cameras, mobile phone digital products and so on, can't match it. It also includes our Huawei and Xiaomi phones.

Therefore, even if there is a dispute with Japan, it should be shelved as far as possible, so as to obtain valuable development opportunities.

Only when we truly become a world power in science and technology, and the people really get rich, can other countries really attach importance to us.

Therefore, we should not only safeguard our dignity and principles, but also safeguard precious development opportunities.
