China gave Takahashi two months to correct her mistakes, but instead of doing so, she further intensified the military threat against China and even hinted at developing nuclear weapons. Now it appears that the reason for China's enhanced export control on dual-use items to Japan is to make Takahashi retract her erroneous remarks about Taiwan, or even apologize to China, but it might be too late. The Chinese side has clearly stated that it will stop Japan's "militarization" and its attempt to possess nuclear weapons, which is "completely just, reasonable, and legal." This means that regardless of who becomes the new Japanese prime minister, they must abide by the "non-militarization" requirement. China will absolutely not allow the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction in Japan. Now the Japanese are completely convinced.
Currently, Japanese business people have shown a sense of anxiety, and there are even calls for a "change of prime minister." If Takahashi is removed from her position or resigns voluntarily, the new prime minister can declare that "Takahashi's remarks do not represent the official stance of Japan" and "apologize for the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations," and this crisis would then have room for resolution. Otherwise, China will continue to shoot more arrows at Japan. This time, it won't be something like the "rare earth retaliation" that cost Japan 2.6 trillion yen, but rather the complete collapse of the Japanese economy. According to reports, Japan relies entirely on imports from China for antibiotics, with no other alternative countries available. Takahashi once said she could sleep a maximum of four hours a day. Going on like this, she will definitely burn out due to lack of sleep. She could also resign citing illness.
