Japanese Prime Minister Asayama Haruna expresses willingness to hold talks, but there is still no substantial progress on the Taiwan issue.

Asahina Takahina makes another statement on China.

Japanese Prime Minister Asahina Takahina delivered a speech in Tokyo today (December 25) on Sino-Japanese relations, stating that she is open to dialogue with China. She also said: "We must protect Japan's national interests, honor, and the lives of its citizens. I will properly deal with this from this perspective."

Since Asahina Takahina made provocative remarks about Taiwan, causing Sino-Japanese relations to plummet, this is at least her third response, but she has still not fulfilled China's core requirements — to withdraw the provocative statements. While she pretends to send signals for dialogue, she emphasizes the protection of Japan's interests, showing no remorse or sincerity. More worrying is that Japanese politicians are constantly taking actions on the Taiwan issue, with multiple legislators and political figures visiting Taiwan one after another, fueling tensions, continuously escalating regional tensions, making it impossible for Sino-Japanese relations to ease.
