The diplomatic rift between Japan and China has deepened as Beijing demands a retraction of remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi concerning Taiwan. China termed her comments as 'egregious' and warned Japan of potential consequences.

Takaichi's statement, made in parliament last week, suggested that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo, which Beijing interpreted as interference in its internal affairs. The comments have strained Japan-China relations, drawing strong reactions from Chinese officials.

Amid continuing tensions, Japan remains firm in urging China to act responsibly to maintain the broader Japan-China relationship. Diplomatic exchanges continue as both nations assess the implications of the escalating rhetoric on regional stability.
