Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivered his first public response to the escalating China-Japan dispute, firmly backing Beijing’s stance after Tokyo suggested it could respond militarily to a hypothetical attack on Taiwan. Lee condemned the remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi as “extremely erroneous,” saying they had damaged the atmosphere for China-Japan exchanges and raised concerns over future cooperation. Hong Kong has updated its travel alerts for Japan, with authorities urging residents to stay vigilant as airlines offer flexible rebooking options. The dispute has already led to halted exchanges with Japan’s consulate, and Lee stressed that all Hong Kong actions will align with China’s national dignity and the interests of Hong Kong residents. #china #hongkong #japan #apt
