Beijing is turning up the pressure on Tokyo. After Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a Japanese military response, China has issued a veiled threat—warning there's “no market” for Japanese seafood exports. The warning follows Japanese media reports that Beijing may impose a new seafood ban, just months after partially lifting restrictions over the Fukushima wastewater release. With diplomatic tensions rising and tourism cancellations mounting, this could mark a new low in China–Japan relations. Will Japan walk back its stance—or will Beijing escalate further?
