On Friday, Takaichi said Chinese military actions against Taiwan, such as a naval blockade, would likely qualify as a “situation threatening Japan’s survival,” compelling Japan to take action. Xue Jian, China’s consul general in Osaka, responded on X with a post saying, “The filthy head that recklessly sticks itself in must be cut off without a moment’s hesitation,” per Asahi Shimbun.

its weird to me
