15.11.2025 โ‡ข The Day Takaichi's Taiwan Challenge Led to China's Travel Ban
โŒจJapanese media on November 15, 2025, consistently focused on the escalating diplomatic confrontation between Japan and China stemming from Prime Minister Takaichi's Taiwan remarks. Early reports questioned the wisdom of her 'resolute declaration' over strategic ambiguity and highlighted new pressure on Japan to increase defense spending following a US-South Korea agreement. By mid-morning, China explicitly urged its citizens to avoid visiting Japan, prompting Japan to protest the travel alert and press for stable ties. This situation was described as a litmus test for Takaichi's diplomacy, with China responding by implementing free cancellation policies for Japan-bound flights.
