US EditionInternational Condemnation Mounts Against Japanese PM's Taiwan Remarks
China canceled trilateral meetings and imposed cultural and economic measures after Japanese PM Takaichi's Taiwan remarks, risking cooperation with South Korea and Japan, officials said.
- On Thursday, China cancelled a scheduled culture ministerial meeting with South Korea and Japan, and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks undermined trilateral cooperation.
- Takaichi told a parliamentary committee that a Chinese naval blockade could be a `survival-threatening situation` for Japan, and she did not retract the remarks but said she would avoid discussing scenarios.
- Beijing has responded with study and travel advisories, froze Japanese films in Chinese theatres, suspended city-level exchanges, and Chinese officials told Tokyo that resumed seafood imports will be stopped as Chinese travellers cancelled trips.
- With Japan hosting the next trilateral summit, diplomats warn the growing rift jeopardizes the expedited summit agreed in March, while Chinese Premier Li Qiang's refusal to meet Takaichi at the G20 summit in South Africa makes leader-level dialogue unlikely.
- CJK trilateralism rests on a summit-minister-working-level framework, and experts say `CJK Plus` and the CJK Cooperation Fund have struggled in recent years, complicating trade and technology cooperation.
