Conflict erupts after Chinese diplomat threatens Japan’s Prime Minister

Video Description

China and Japan are facing a diplomatic standoff concerning Taiwan, sparked by Japan's potential military intervention if the island is attacked. Tensions escalated after remarks from Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi led to backlash from China, resulting in trade suspensions and calls for boycotts. “If China were to deploy battleships and involve the use of force, I believe this could be deemed a situation threatening Japan’s survival,” Ms Takaichi said. In response to Ms Takaichi’s comments supporting Taiwan, a senior diplomat for China posted and then deleted threats to cut off the Prime Minister's neck. Despite attempts at dialogue, relations remain strained, with both nations showing no signs of backing down.
