China and Mongolia Brand Japan 'Militarist,' and Distrust of Beijing Hardens
After Chinese FM Wang Yi met Mongolia's foreign minister and the two denounced 'fascism and militarism' with Japan in mind, Japanese netizens reacted with shock that 'even pro-Japan Mongolia' had joined in, and with a 'look who's talking' rebuttal at China. Parallel grievances — China's 'our military buildup is for world peace' line and the suspected leak of Ehime's premium 'Beni Princess' citrus to China — fed broader distrust across IP, defense, and diplomacy.
