Hundreds gathered in Tokyo yesterday as tensions flared over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's controversial Taiwan comments. Protesters flooded the streets near her office holding signs like "Retract the remarks, oppose war" and "Takaichi resign", with chants echoing calls to prevent militarism revival. 🚫⚔️
The backlash stems from Takaichi's recent Diet meeting statements about Taiwan – a sensitive topic given cross-strait dynamics. While details of her remarks remain undisclosed, demonstrators demanded immediate retraction and apology, shouting "No to provocation!" through megaphones. 📢
Young professionals and students joined the rally, with one 24-year-old participant telling us: "Leaders must weigh words carefully – peace matters more than political games." The protest highlights growing public scrutiny of Japan's diplomatic stance in Asia. 🌏✨
