Hey folks 👋, tensions in East Asia have taken center stage again. In a recent CGTN interview, Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, issued a firm warning: the Chinese mainland will never allow Japan to endanger world peace or develop WMDs.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's repeated visits to the Yasukuni Shrine—seen by many as a symbol of World War II–era militarism—have fueled concerns across the region. Victor Gao stressed that history must not repeat itself and highlighted the Chinese mainland's commitment to safeguarding security 🕊️.
Why it matters: For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, stability in East Asia means smoother trade routes, safer travel, and more tech collaborations—think cross-border startups and digital tie-ups without the fear of geopolitical disruptions.
What comes next? Keep an eye on diplomatic moves: Will Japan dial back its visits? How will regional groups like ASEAN react? Drop your thoughts and let us know how these developments could shape our next-gen tech and travel plans ✈️💡.
