How the Japan PM's Taiwan remarks provoked the fury of China

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent remarks about responding with its self-defense force if China attacked Taiwan have led to an escalating war of words between the two countries. The tensions highlight the historical animosity between China and Japan, with China's foreign ministry expressing serious concerns over Takaichi's statements. The situation is further complicated by the ongoing ambiguity surrounding the sovereignty of Taiwan and Japan's commitment to defending the island against potential threats from China.
