Hey fam, major diplomatic drama just went down! On Friday, China’s ambassador to Japan, Wu Jianghao, officially summoned Japan’s Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Funakoshi Takehiro, to lodge a strong protest against Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent comments about China’s Taiwan region. 😲
Wu said Takaichi’s provocative remarks crossed China’s red line, ignored the one-China principle, and violated key political agreements between the two countries. He warned that calls for military intervention in the Taiwan Strait would trigger a firm response from China if Japan tries to take action.
According to the ambassador, Taiwan is at the core of China’s core interests, and any external interference is a no-go. He urged Japan to reflect on its history, retract the statements, and stop the provocation—or face the consequences.
For now, both sides are keeping a close eye on how this diplomatic tug-of-war unfolds. Stay tuned for updates as the region watches for any shifts in cross-strait ties and China-Japan relations. 🌏✌️
