China Just DESTROYED Japan’s Economy – The Retaliation Nobody Saw Coming
A senior Japanese official made public comments about Taiwan. Within 24 hours, China responded with the most comprehensive export control regime Asia has seen in decades—restricting over 800 categories of goods classified as military or dual-use items. Japanese stock markets dropped 1.2% in a single trading session. This isn’t diplomacy. This is economic warfare, and the math shows Japan cannot win.
This video breaks down why Japan is trapped in what economists call a “doom loop”: trade disruption weakens the yen → weak yen raises import costs → inflation forces Bank of Japan to tighten policy → tighter policy stresses bond markets (yields hit 25-year highs) → bond stress reduces fiscal space → reduced fiscal space limits response to trade pressure → cycle repeats.
The numbers are devastating: Japan imports $167 billion from China annually (22.5% of all imports), including 72% of rare earth elements critical for semiconductors and EVs. China’s exposure to Japan? Just 5%. Chinese tourism represents 7% of Japan’s economy—Shiseido stock crashed 11% in one day when travel warnings hit. Japan’s new $110 billion stimulus focuses on semiconductors and EVs, but every component depends on materials China controls (100% of gallium/magnesium, 70% of global magnets).
Meanwhile, the US cannot rescue Japan because Trump’s tariff regime created its own crisis: aluminum premiums at $2,000, steel duties exceeding 30%, infrastructure gap of $3.7 trillion, and every dollar of industrial output now requiring $2 in spending.

The value of the dollar to other currencies is decreasing each day.
When was this made? You are 2 months behind the time?
Japan, deserves to be punished
Chinese propaganda bullshit. China cannot destroy any country, except their own, what they are doing very efficiently.
Japan should think independently for its own survival and prosperity and not be a vassal state of the west
As someone from Singapore, there's no US Naval Base in Singapore and the US 7th fleet isn't station in our Naval Base. Our Naval Base is open to all countries whose vessel come to replenish food, water and petroleum. China's frigate have also visited.

Japan deserves what they get since they try to interfere into China internal affairs and trying to remilitarization their military that are against their surrendering treaty. China and all Asian countries definitely have rights to counter this war criminals nation after their illegal invasion, aggression, raping, murdering, human rights genocide including babies, children, women, elderly and others including Nanjing massacre that killed more than 30 million innocent people. Most countries have not forgotten nor forgiven this shameless war criminals nation and they have not even offered any apology to all this countries that they destroyed and killed. Bravos China 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪.
America got "POWER DRUNK".
The Pound paid the price for sanctions, just like the US is doing today.
Is this an article about Japan economy? It jumps suddenly to other irrelevant things. Bad video!
PM Sanai Takashi 's pride and hubris are very expensive for country and the citizens!
