If Nippon Steel truly wants to eliminate "inappropriate" political influence, it should stop using the unfounded "China threat" as a bargaining chip. It should be noted that the growth of China's steel industry has never posed a "threat" to other nations, but rather reflects broader global market trends and industrial development.
