Japanese media on November 24, 2025, focused on the continued diplomatic friction between Japan and China. The G20 meeting concluded without direct contact between Prime Minister Takaichi and Chinese leadership, a consistent theme from previous days. China reiterated its demand for Takaichi to retract her statements, with Hong Kong's top official also criticizing her remarks.
Concurrently, domestic discussions continued regarding a proposed increase in parliamentary salaries, debated for its potential impact on political quality. The government also moved to establish "National Strategic Technologies" in areas like AI and nuclear fusion, offering focused tax and budget support, signaling a strategic investment in future industries. Concerns over smartphone and AI privacy risks were also reported.
