BEIJING: Amid escalating tensions between China and Japan, fuelled by Tokyo’s remarks regarding China’s Taiwan, experts warn that if the Japanese administration continues down the same path, it is endangering bilateral economic ties that have great significance for both nations.
In response to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s claim that a Taiwan emergency constitutes a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, and her refusal to retract the remarks, China has halted Japanese seafood imports, authorities have suspended the release of two Japanese films and major Chinese airlines have cancelled flights to Japan.
