Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, known for her hawkish stance on China, held her first summit with President Xi Jinping on October 31, 2025, at the APEC gathering in South Korea, reaffirming commitments to stable bilateral ties. However, ensuing tensions—fueled by Takaichi's Taiwan comments, a destroyer transit through the Taiwan Strait in April 2026, and Beijing's sharp responses—have defined the 2025–2026 China-Japan diplomatic crisis, with no further meetings. Takaichi's landslide snap election win in February solidified her mandate for tougher regional security policies, while yesterday's talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted Japan-U.S. alignment on supply chains and economic security ahead of President Trump's summit with Xi this week. Absent de-escalation signals or multilateral forums like G20, trader consensus reflects caution on another Xi-Takaichi encounter by December 31.
