China's Diplomatic Retaliation: Who's Next on the Blacklist?
China has conducted doghouse diplomacy for two decades, long enough to draw conclusions about its efficacy. | World News
China's diplomatic wrath is a force to be reckoned with. While some countries like Canada and South Korea have recently escaped its wrath, Japan has once again found itself in the crosshairs. The reason? Japan's Prime Minister, Takaichi Sanae, sparked Beijing's ire by suggesting that Tokyo might deploy its military to defend Taiwan, a move seen as an interference in China's internal affairs. This stance is particularly sensitive given Japan's complex history as a former occupier during World War II. As China's diplomatic boundaries are constantly shifting, one thing remains clear: any country that crosses its red lines can expect swift and severe consequences.
