17.11.2025 ⇢ The Day China Rejected Takaichi's G20 Meeting
⌹On November 17, 2025, Japanese media continued to highlight the diplomatic fallout with China, stemming from Prime Minister Takaichi's Taiwan remarks.

Later in the morning, Beijing announced Premier Li would not meet PM Takaichi at the G20, intensifying the diplomatic strain. Concurrently, new economic reports focused on PM Takaichi's tax reform plans, which prioritize tax cuts to stimulate growth, with discussions commencing within the Liberal Democratic Party.
