Xi’s Biggest Taiwan Revenge: China Just Annihilated Japan’s $1.4 Billion Seafood Empire Overnight?



Xi’s Biggest Taiwan Revenge: China Just Annihilated Japan’s $1.4 Billion Seafood Empire Overnight?

China has just delivered its most punishing blow yet in the escalating Tokyo–Beijing showdown. Weeks after Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi’s Taiwan warning enraged Beijing, China reinstated a full-scale ban on Japanese seafood — a move that threatens billions in exports and strikes at the heart of Japan’s coastal economy. Travel warnings, mass cancellations, and diplomatic fury now pile onto an already fragile relationship. But behind this sudden economic assault lies a deeper strategic message from Beijing.

    I wonder when this lady was born. She does not understand the natural hatred Chinese have against the Japanese based on what happened in 1930's. As a Prime Minister she should understand that there are certain things you need to avoid saying publicly. China is very sensitive to matters related to Taiwan. It is very obvious if anything happens to Taiwan US will be there first to rescue Taiwan only because of the chip and semiconductor manufacturing of Taiwan. So knowing this, the Japanese Prime Minister should keep her trap shut. There is no need to poke the dragon. She does not understand the damage she has done.

    Takaichi is not worried. India stands ready to take in all seafood exports from Japan. In addition, it will strongly urge all Indians to visit Japan as tourists initially, then emigrate to Japan with the ultimate intention for someone talented to take over Takaichi's job. Viva Vishwaguru. LMAO.

    任何长眼睛的人都可以看出老习这次被气坏了，甚至越级指挥外交部工作细节了，这从组织结构上几乎是不可能的。我觉得禁止水产品只是开胃小菜，后面肯定还有大菜会一道一道被端上来，日本人吃不了得兜着走。

    Hahaha. Only Chinese believe that it is effective. As China made the same boycott before, Japan has a lot of alternative routes to sell them. Make sure to stop illegal fishing around Japanese water.

    Has Japan been infected with the West idiocy?
    China and Taiwan political differences is an internal affair that concern only to China and Taiwan (stop interfering with)…let them solve it, so back off.

    Cut all dirty despicable Maoist necks! Freedom, peace, selfdetermination, the rule of law, and prosperity for all. Disarm and denuke the illegitimate Maoist ruling class!

    The new Imperial Evil Communist Chinese PLA trying to intimidate their smaller Asian neighbors as China Gaslighting Japan crying like Baby about WWII Atrocities along with another Evil Communist Khmer Rouge Killing Fields in Cambodia that is nothing compared to good ole Evil Chairman Mao whose Ramage over shadows what Japan did in WWII as China did the unthinkable tortured, and murdered over 50 million of their own Chinese Men, Women and Children. Even today, China has two million Chinese people who are beaten tortured raped and murdered in Concentration Camps like what Hitler had. I hope China will stop threatening to behead the Japanese Prime Minister of Japan and other leaders in Asia.

    The rest of the free world is watching. Any move on Taiwan is a threat to Japan which then is a threat to America, most of Asia, NATO, and if India and Turkey get involved, China will be destroyed by only the US Japan and a few more SE Asian countries and become isolated with NO TRADING PARTNERS! Your troops can't even fight in a war. China lost 50000 troops sent to fight for Russia in Ukraine. The Ukrainian military wiped out the ill trained Chinese soldiers in hours! Better think twice before you try to fulfill this huge mistake of a Communist Bully Fantasy of taking over Taiwan.

    The main enemy of South Korea, the world's fifth largest military power, is China!!!!These are people who have already committed atrocities in South Korea like they did in Japan during the THAAD crisis. The Korean people support Japan!!!!!!!South Korea will soon build nuclear-powered submarines and then develop nuclear weapons. Then, the Chinese won't dare play tricks on them

    This is what really happened:

    1. PM Takaichi mentioned: “if China blocks the Bashi channel, the channel which affects Japan’s supply chain of especially oils, in invading Taiwan, then it would be an ‘emergency’ for Japan’s economic security”

    2. China’s Consul General, Xue Jian, mentioned in his X: “We’ll behead your nasty neck of you involve yourself more in the Taiwan matter”. For this, he could be declared ‘persona non grata’ according to Japan’s government officials. The post was removed later by the Consul General.

    3. China imposed travel restrictions and seafood restrictions.

    Japan has ties with Taiwan. At her risks she was willing to defend her friend, is everything noble and good. Goodwill Japan shows to the world since she humbled herself for many decades is a testament of her Peaceful existence. Japan has no aggressive posture only defensive in postures. China do Censorship, and is run by Dictator, and Japan is a Democratic country. There is no Free Speech there in China. Japan act as the balance of Power is good. Taiwan has lived under threats far too long. Whichever Party show aggressiveness, is the bad actor.

  42. @SuperP-q1r on

    In a war, China and its allies would never be able to defeat Taiwan and its allies. This is why China can only threaten Taiwan. No people living in a democracy would willingly choose to become communist.

    China recently released an anti-Japanese movie about “Nanking/Nanjing”. This is very disrespectful to Japan. Will the Chinese apologize?

    Wait what Japan murdered around 20 million Chinese in the most savage ways women were often raped to death little children were not spared from that fate either often babies were thrown into the air to catch with a bayonet chemical weapons were tested on Chinese and the Chinese were dissected alive to see what was happening inside of their body! They did games who could kill the most Chinese in a certain amount of times. They literally made Hitler look like a choirboy and never apologized for their war crimes. Not just that but actively going after their victims to silence them and yet, here you are demanding an apology for a movie depicting this inhumane historical event!
    Why don’t you take that apology and shove it up your ass!!!!
