Meng Wanzhou's return to China on Saturday after nearly three years in detention in Canada has been applauded by Japanese netizens, who compared her return with Japan's quick surrender to the US' oppression over 30 years ago. Some believe that if Japan had made continued efforts like the Chinese government, the situation would be different nowadays.
An expert in international affairs told the Global Times that in order to serve the US' strategy, the Japanese government has sacrificed the most fundamental economic interests of its people, which is a total tragedy. If Japan would have been able to fight as courageously as China back then, today Japan might have an important role in the global politics and economy, instead of being generally regarded as a vassal state of the US.
Meng's return to China has triggered heated discussion on Japanese social media.
"China really has powerful national strengthen! Although there is no specific content from the judicial side, this time the US is a complete failure! 'This is not the way to deal with Chinese people' will surely become a buzzword this year," said one netizen.
"Three years of illegal detention[...] Huawei is not the second Alstom. The Earth is not a place where the US can do whatever it wants," said another.
