China-Japan fallout continues as Takaichi refuses to backdown

 

Nov 26, 2025
 
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone call on Monday that touched on the Taiwan question. 
  • This comes as Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi still refuses to retract her erroneous remarks on Taiwan – comments that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says "crossed a red line." 
In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan speaks with experts on the timing and significance of the talk, noting President Trump's emphasis that Washington "understands how important the Taiwan question is to China." 
 
Experts on today's show also stress that the Taiwan question remains China's "reddest of red lines," warning that provocative comments on this could further strain China–Japan relations. With Tokyo yet to provide clarification, the region watches closely.
