Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi faces sharp criticism this week after controversial statements about the Taiwan region, with experts warning her rhetoric could "push Japan back to the edge of war" in 2025. Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, called the remarks a dangerous attempt to rewrite history during a CGTN interview.
🔥 "Threatening to overturn Japan’s 1945 unconditional surrender terms isn’t just about Taiwan – it’s a grenade tossed at Asia-Pacific stability," Gao stated, emphasizing that such actions could strain Japan’s relations with the US, Russia, and Britain.
The comments come amid heightened regional sensitivities, with analysts noting Japan’s military spending has reached post-WWII highs this year. 🌏✈️ Younger generations across Asia are increasingly vocal about preserving peace, with TikTok trends like #NeverAgain gaining millions of views.
Gao urged Takaichi to avoid "misleading the public into war’s abyss" through historical revisionism. As global markets watch closely, investors fear renewed tensions could disrupt tech supply chains – a critical issue for young professionals in AI and green energy sectors.
