A diplomatic row between Japan and China has escalated after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi described a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan as a “threat to Japan’s survival.” The remark, made during a parliamentary discussion, prompted a strong protest from Beijing, which said the statement violated the one-China principle. China summoned Japan’s envoy, issued a travel warning, and advised its citizens to avoid Japan, resulting in hundreds of thousands of ticket cancellations. Japan responded with its own advisory and a formal protest. The tensions have now affected travel, cinema releases, and bilateral exchanges, while both sides maintain firm positions on Taiwan.
