China warned that Japan had "crossed a red line" after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo. Beijing accused Japan of sending “wrong signals” and attempting military intervention, escalating the sharpest diplomatic clash between the Asian powers in years. As Beijing raised the issue at the United Nations, Tokyo dismissed the claims as “entirely unacceptable,” while Takaichi insisted Japan remains open to dialogue with China despite growing tensions.
