Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she did not meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang during the G20 summit but stressed that Japan remains “open to various forms of dialogue with China.”
Takaichi reiterated Japan’s consistent policy of building a constructive and stable relationship with Beijing.

She also clarified her earlier remarks suggesting a Taiwan contingency could be considered “an existential crisis” for Japan—comments that have intensified a diplomatic row between the two countries.

00:00Regarding the G7 summit, I did not have the opportunity to speak with the Prime Minister.
00:13In any case, regarding our relationship with China, the policy of comprehensively promoting
00:21strategic cooperation and building a constructive and stable relationship has been in place since
00:26my time as Prime Minister. We believe that because there are issues and challenges between Japan and
00:33China, we should reduce them and increase understanding and cooperation. Japan is open
00:39to various discussions with China. We are not closing any doors. Of course, within this framework,
00:45it is important for Japan to assert what it needs to assert. We will continue to respond appropriately
00:50to these matters in the future. According to this report, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau
00:56of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently stated in an interview
01:00with Chinese media that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese
01:03People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War.
01:15In this crucial year, a current Japanese leader has publicly sent a wrong signal attempting to
01:18intervene militarily in the Taiwan issue, saying things that shouldn't be said and crossing red
01:20lines that shouldn't be crossed. China must resolutely oppose this. This
01:25is not only to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also to defend the
01:42post-war achievements won with blood and lives, and to uphold international justice and human
01:46conscience. China urges Japan to reflect on its mistakes and correct them as soon as possible,
02:02and not to persist in its misguided ways.
02:11The clearest message of the Global Governance Initiative is to gather the power of unity,
02:16the power of unity and diversity in the world.
02:20I am very happy.
02:24But the tide of history cannot be reversed
02:30A new era is
02:37coming
