China strikes a heavy blow against Japan! According to the Singaporean Straits Times, today (January 6th): "The Chinese authorities announced that, affected by the remarks of Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sanae on Taiwan, all dual-use items for military users in Japan, purposes, and other end-user purposes that help enhance Japan's military strength are prohibited from being exported."

Takahashi Sanae had said the day before (January 5th) "hoping to reverse China-Japan relations this year," but less than 24 hours later, China launched a major move. This is clearly a serious response to her provocative remarks on Taiwan that she refused to retract or apologize for. It fully demonstrates China's zero-tolerance attitude towards issues involving Taiwan. The issue of Taiwan is a red line of China's core interests. If Japan talks about improving relations while touching the sovereignty bottom line, it will inevitably face countermeasures from China.
