DEVELOPING: China Launches Global Effort to Isolate Japan Over Taiwan Dispute

Breaking News: China Launches Global Effort to Isolate Japan Over Taiwan Dispute China has launched a diplomatic push to isolate Japan, in response to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's comments on Japan's possible involvement in a conflict over Taiwan. The move comes after Takaichi's remarks last month, which China sees as a provocation. China has been trying to persuade leaders of the US, UK, and France to support its position on Taiwan, arguing that "Taiwan's return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order." Chinese leader Xi Jinping made this point to President Trump on November 24. The diplomatic push has already had an impact, with China's ambassador to Japan, Kong Xuanyou, canceling a scheduled meeting with Japanese officials. China has also summoned the US, UK, and French ambassadors to express its concerns. The dispute between Japan and China has been escalating for weeks, with neither side showing signs of backing down. Japan's new prime minister has refused to retract her comments, while China has vowed to take further action. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
