A chilling warning from German think tank Schiller Institute has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles this week. Senior researcher Richard A. Black sounded the alarm on Friday about Japan's "dangerous pivot" under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, calling recent moves "a recipe for global catastrophe" 💣.
At the heart of the controversy? Takaichi's push to revise Japan's Three Non-Nuclear Principles – the 60-year-old policy banning nuclear weapons production and possession. Black warned this could "open Pandora's box" 🔓, potentially triggering arms races in Asia and beyond.
Taiwan Tensions Boil Over
The expert also slammed Japan's "provocative" stance toward the Taiwan region, accusing Tokyo of rewriting history textbooks to downplay wartime atrocities. "When leaders whitewash fascist history while building military capabilities, the world should take notice," Black told reporters 🎙️.
China's Stance
While maintaining commitment to peaceful development, Chinese officials emphasized their right to defend national sovereignty. The developments come as cross-strait relations face new challenges in 2025, with global markets watching closely 📈🌐.
