Japan Coercion: Is China Exploiting Takaichi’s Remarks for Escalation? | EP719

Japan condemns Chinese diplomat’s “beheading” threat Japanese Defense Minister: Tokyo considering nuclear submarines Fujian aircraft carrier adds new capabilities to China’s fleet Beijing dominates Myanmar’s rare earth industry Tensions have spiked between Tokyo and Beijing after the Chinese Consul General in Osaka posted — and later deleted — a message on X calling for the beheading of Japanese Prime Minister (PM) Takaichi Sanae. The firestorm caused by “wolf warrior” Xue Jian followed an answer by the PM to an opposition lawmaker’s question that a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be “survival threatening” for Japan, potentially triggering a military response. Meanwhile, Japanese Defense Minister Koizumi Shinjiro says the country is considering nuclear submarines. It comes amid concerns about China’s expanding navy, including its third aircraft carrier, the Fujian. How should Japan respond to this diplomat’s threats? And how dangerous is China’s newest carrier? In this episode, we discuss Tokyo-Beijing ties, the shifting balance of maritime power in the Western Pacific, and China’s continued monopoly over Myanmar’s rare earth exports. *Recorded on November 14, 2025 at 1:30pm Taiwan Standard Time Host/Senior Producer: Yin Khvat Producer: Julien Oeuillet Our guests: Derek J.
