China and Japan are locked in a fast-intensifying diplomatic clash after new Japanese PM Sanai Taikachi warned Tokyo would respond militarily to any Chinese attack or blockade of Taiwan. Beijing erupted, summoning Japan’s ambassador and demanding a full retraction, while a Chinese consul’s menacing threat fueled outrage in Tokyo. With travel advisories, naval patrols, and harsh diplomatic exchanges escalating, both nations stand firm. As tensions rise across the East China Sea, the region faces its most dangerous standoff in years.

00:00China and Japan are entering into an increasingly escalating spat over the
00:23Taiwan issue and with both nations refusing to back down there are fears
00:28that the situation could lead to a full-blown war.
00:32The diplomatic spat began earlier in November when the newly instated Japanese Prime Minister
00:38Sanahei Taikichi made remarks about how Japan would respond to a hypothetical Chinese attack
00:45on Taiwan.
00:47On November 7, Taikichi, while speaking in the parliament, said that a Chinese naval blockade
00:54or any other action against Taiwan will prompt a Japanese military response.
00:59This response was not something her predecessors have ever made before, as they have only expressed
01:05concern about the Chinese threat to Taiwan, but never mentioned a response.
01:11The statement immediately raised protests from China, with both its foreign and defense ministries
01:18demanding a retraction of the comments.
01:21China's consul general in Osaka even appeared to make threats to the Japanese PM in a now-deleted
01:28post which read, and I quote,
01:30As Taikichi refused to retract her comments, China summoned the Japanese ambassador and warned
01:45of a crushing defeat if Japan interfered with Taiwan.
01:51The following day, Japan, too, summoned the Chinese ambassador and complained about the
01:56consul's post.
01:58On November 14, China issued a no-travel advisory for Japan, an apparent attempt to target Japan's
02:06tourism sector, which is heavily dependent on Chinese tourists.
02:11China has also warned Chinese students studying in, or planning to study in Japan, about the
02:17recent crimes against Chinese.
02:21China further increased tensions as its coast guard started patrolling disputed areas in the
02:26East China Sea.
02:29Chinese vessels patrolled near a group of uninhabited islands that both countries claimed.
02:34In response, Japan condemned the brief violation of Japanese territorial waters by Chinese ships.
02:43On November 18, in a bid to cool down tensions, diplomats from both sides met in Beijing.
02:50However, the meeting did not appear to ease the tensions and there seemed to be no signs
02:56of the impasse breaking.
02:58China has demanded a retraction of Japanese PM Taikichi's comments, but with the PM outrightly
03:04refusing to do so, fears of a military confrontation in the region are rising.
