In the 2019 coronary virus epidemic, a attention highlight is the high degree of healthy interaction of Sino -Japanese relations.All sectors of Japan provide a large number of epidemic prevention materials to China and attach ancient poems.The second -order Junbo, the Chief of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, said that Japan is willing to support the country and spare no effort to provide all help to China.The Japanese Liberal Democratic Party members donated collectives collectively; charter machines who sent them back to the Wuhan diasporas took a lot of assistance supplies at each time, which moved countless Chinese people.A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also praised and thanked the goodwill in all sectors of Japan.
In recent years, China -Japan relations have experienced great difficulties. This epidemic is obviously provided by the improvement of Sino -Japanese relations.However, the author believes that it is not enough to improve. More importantly, it is recognized that this is a new height in the era that has returned to the normal track that has returned to normal tracks.
Infection in Japan has appeared in infection, and it has announced that the control and treatment of the epidemic has entered a new stage, that is, a new stage of early discovery of severe patients.Japanese infectious disease experts also said that it is not surprising that there will be a case of infection anywhere in Japan in the future, and policies and measures must be formulated on this premise.On February 14, the Japanese cabinet has also passed the budget that corresponds to the epidemic.
This means that the cooperation between Sino -Japanese relations in anti -anti -epidemic will enter the new stage from the previous stage to China aid protective protective clothing, masks, fundraising and other models.In this new stage, Japan will face many challenges, difficulties, and uncertainty that China has faced or faced.
In this sense, China's experience will have important reference value for Japan who resist and treat patients in the new stage.In particular, China has experienced tens of thousands of patients, which is of great practical significance for Japan with a large population of the elderly.
At the same time, as the most powerful country in East Asia's health and medical capabilities, both China and Japan and the development of drugs and vaccines for effective treatment as soon as possible will be a major contribution to regional and human well -being.
Sino -Japanese relations are highly dependent. In the past, it seemed to be mainly reflected in the enterprises of commercial exchanges. The sudden epidemic situation highlighted the interdependence relationship between Sino -Japanese relations in the past 10 years and has highly penetrated into all levels.
The most obvious is Chinese tourists, which has significantly impact the Japanese tourism industry, retail industry, and department store industry.From this time in Japan's domestic infection patients, bus drivers who have received Chinese tourists have appeared. They and 10 million Chinese tourists exposed to each year, which accounted for almost a quarter of Japanese international tourists.
The Japanese government has recently introduced convenient measures for financing for SMEs, and many are actually targeting these industries.The frequency and depth of the people between China and Japan exceeded any other country, and it is undoubted in the epidemic.In the charter of Wuhan withdrawn from Wuhan, Japan sent a total of five, indicating that many Japanese people work and live in Wuhan.
For Japan, the most concerned is whether the Tokyo Olympics can still be successfully held.Of course, this first depends on the development of the epidemic. At present, no one can make precise predictions.However, if both China and Japan can continue to show the political leadership of mutual cooperation and resistance, as well as the continuous release of mutual support for the social and civil society of both sides, it has a critical role in improving the world's confidence in the Tokyo Olympics.
For Japan, the first Olympic Games after the new Emperor's successor is a major event, and it is also a major opportunity to show a Japanese image that is open to the outside world. Japan has also made a lot of efforts for this.
After the Tokyo Olympics, China will also host major international events such as the Winter Olympics and Asian Games.The spirit of supporting each other's support, going all -out, and joint cooperation in these major events has an important leading role in strengthening the confidence and determination of the people of the two countries to jointly create a new era of Sino -Japanese relations.
