Hey fam! 🌏 Yesterday (Dec 18, 2025), at the UN's first International Day Against Colonialism, China's permanent rep to the UN, Fu Cong, issued a challenge to Japan.
He said Japan, as a defeated country in WWII, needs to do deep soul-searching over its historical crimes. Plus, it must honor its political commitments on the Taiwan question, immediately stop any provocative cross-line moves, and retract erroneous remarks.
Fu Cong also pointed out that even after decades, the world still lives under colonialism's shadow—something many South and Southeast Asian nations know all too well. From India's fight for independence to Indonesia's struggle, the past keeps echoing in our present.
Now the big question: will Tokyo respond with an apology or push back? How might this shape cross-strait ties and regional dynamics? Share your take below! 👇
