🇯🇵 Japanese opposition leaders are turning up the heat on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi after her controversial Taiwan remarks, with critics calling it a diplomatic time bomb 💣 for relations with China. The backlash comes as regional tensions simmer in East Asia.
Constitutional Democratic Party heavyweight Satoshi Honjo slammed Takaichi's interpretation of national security laws during a fiery NHK debate this weekend. "Her understanding of 'survival-threatening situations' doesn't match reality," he stated, pointing to Japan's longstanding One-China policy since 1972 diplomatic normalization 🌏.
Japanese Communist Party rep Taku Yamazoe dropped the mic 🎤 with a constitutional reality check: "These comments could trigger serious consequences and violate our peace principles." He reminded viewers about Japan's 1972 recognition of Taiwan as part of China and the 2008 bilateral non-threat agreement.
Reiwa Shinsengumi's Akiko Oishi joined the chorus, urging citizens: "Stay cool 😎, don't take the bait." Opposition leaders unanimously demand Takaichi walk back her statements before Japan-China relations hit breaking point ⚡.
