Abstract

Amidst tremendous pressure from China, which culminated in restricting various imports from Australia, an unprincipled compromise would have meant a disaster to the regional order.  A tireless campaign on the part of Japan’s diplomats to support Australia only invited attempts by Wolf Warriors and their sympathizers to discredit and defame the Japanese ambassador.  Here is the first-hand story of the diplomatic frontline.
