Tension Alert! 🚨 China's defense spokesperson has fired a warning shot at Tokyo over the Taiwan question.
At a press conference this Friday, Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Jiang Bin reacted to comments by Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi suggesting the Self-Defense Force could invoke collective self-defense if the Chinese mainland uses military force against the Taiwan region. Jiang slammed these remarks as "a gross interference in China's internal affairs" and a major violation of the one-China principle.
He went on to say that such statements challenge the post-war international order and could embolden Taiwan secessionists. According to Jiang, they're "extremely irresponsible and dangerous," sending the wrong signals at a time when regional stability is key.
The big headline? 🇨🇳⚔️🇯🇵 China warned that if Japan dares to act or use force on the Taiwan question, it would face a "crushing defeat" against the steel-willed People's Liberation Army and "pay a heavy price."
As this geopolitical chess match heats up 🔥, keep your eyes peeled for how Tokyo responds—and what it means for Asia's balance of power. Stay tuned! ✌️
