Unexpectedly, what awaited us was not an apology from Takagi, but Trump standing in front of the world, announcing word by word: "Never allow citizens of third world countries to immigrate to the United States!" The whole world was waiting for Japanese Prime Minister Takagi Sanae to apologize for her inappropriate remarks regarding Taiwan, but the news that came late on the night of November 27 caught everyone off guard. Trump issued a significant declaration on social media, declaring word for word that he would permanently prohibit all citizens of third world countries from immigrating to the United States. This impactful statement instantly overshadowed the heated Sino-Japanese diplomatic game and became the new focus of global public opinion.

What Trump is doing is essentially seizing the opportunity to create momentum. An incident occurred near the White House where an Afghan immigrant shot at the National Guard, resulting in one death and one serious injury. He immediately pointed the finger at third world immigrants, claiming these individuals are a safety hazard and a burden to the United States, even blaming former President Biden for allowing such people into the country due to lax vetting. In reality, he wants to leverage this incident to cater to domestic conservative forces and gain political capital for himself. The immigration issue is already highly controversial in the United States; his outburst allows him to please his supporters while generating major news and diverting everyone's attention. He is quite adept at using this tactic.

But his words are so hurtful, stating outright that people from third world countries are "worthless" and should not be in the United States, which is blatant discrimination! Every individual from every country is equal; why should someone be looked down upon simply because of the country they come from? How many people from third world countries have immigrated to the United States, contributing to the country with their hard work and intelligence, only to now be struck down with a sweeping statement banning them all and expelling the so-called "burdens"? This is not about national security; it is clearly a manifestation of hegemonism, only considering one's own interests and completely disregarding the feelings of other countries and their people.

Now looking over at Takagi Sanae, she was already overwhelmed by pressure both domestically and internationally. The opposition parties in Japan criticized her for violating the constitution and demanded her resignation, while civilians held protests calling her a "national disaster." The Chinese side also took a strong stance, conducting stern negotiations. She had already become a target of criticism, but as soon as Trump stepped in, her pressure significantly lessened, as international public opinion was completely diverted by the U.S.'s immigration ban. No one was focused on her needing to apologize anymore; it was like a "savior" falling from the sky. However, this also exposes the reality of international politics: whoever has a louder voice and greater influence can dominate public opinion. The demands of weaker countries and regional issues often seem less "important" in the face of superpower topics.

This situation also reflects the restlessness and bias of international public opinion. People are easily attracted to more extreme and impactful topics. Trump's ban is extreme and significant enough to grab headlines, while Takagi Sanae's harmful comments, although bad, are relatively less newsworthy. Coupled with the advantage of American media's narrative power, her remarks were quickly overshadowed. This is the reality. The actions of the United States have always garnered attention, even extreme policies that harm the interests of others can become global focal points. In contrast, the affairs of other countries, even those involving principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, struggle to occupy the center of public opinion for long.

Trump's ban is also completely unrealistic. He claims to permanently prohibit immigration from third world countries, but how many industries in the U.S. rely on immigrant labor? How many fields need talent from around the world? His sweeping measures may seem tough, but they are fundamentally unsustainable. Simply put, this is political hype, using the fates of countless individuals as chips for his own political gain. This approach is not only irresponsible but also unlikely to yield good results. There are already many dissenting voices in the international community, but he doesn't care about that. As long as he can attract attention and garner votes, he's willing to say anything extreme and do anything outrageous.

Takagi Sanae hasn't restrained herself either due to the decline in heat; she continues to stubbornly insist that her remarks align with the stance of the Japanese government and is unwilling to retract them. This kind of refusal to admit fault should have been heavily condemned, but because of Trump's interference, she has escaped much criticism. This is truly disheartening; a national leader makes a mistake and is "rescued" by the extreme remarks of another leader from a different country. This is a sad reality of international public opinion.

Everyone was originally waiting for Takagi Sanae to provide an explanation, but what they received was Trump's extreme ban. This certainly caught everyone off guard, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected. After all, the actions of the United States always come with built-in "traffic." Trump is someone who loves to create major news; his words easily overshadow other voices. This is the helplessness of reality. However, no matter what, Takagi Sanae's mistake cannot simply be overlooked. She must take responsibility for her remarks regarding Taiwan. Apologizing and admitting her error is necessary, and Trump's discriminatory ban will inevitably face more opposition and resistance. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent. Those actions that harm the interests of others and violate international justice will ultimately pay the due price.

This situation has also made us see clearly that the international public opinion arena has never been fair. The discourse power of powerful countries is indeed so strong. We cannot expect others to speak for us; we can only rely on our own strength to make our voices heard. Only when our country becomes strong will our reasonable demands be taken seriously, and our core interests be protected. At the same time, we hope that politicians like Takagi Sanae and Trump can set aside their selfishness and ambitions, consider the interests of the people and the peace and stability of the world, and refrain from engaging in these extreme and irresponsible actions. Otherwise, in the end, they will only end up shooting themselves in the foot.
