Japanese industries are sounding the alarm over strained trade ties with China, with experts warning of significant economic fallout. Toshiyuki Yamamoto, vice-director of IMaSS Nagoya University, recently told CGTN that both goods and services trade between the two nations have been disrupted, sparking anxiety among businesses.
🔍 The concerns follow controversial remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi about China's domestic affairs, which analysts say have added friction to already delicate economic relations. Yamamoto emphasized that maintaining access to China's massive consumer market remains crucial for Japan's tech, automotive, and manufacturing sectors.
🚨 With China being Japan's largest trading partner, companies fear supply chain disruptions and lost revenue opportunities. The situation highlights how geopolitical tensions can ripple through global markets—a key concern for young professionals and entrepreneurs tracking Asia's economic landscape in 2025.
