    China imposed controls on exports to Japan with any military use, intensifying a dispute between Asia’s top economies over remarks Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made last year on Taiwan.

  2. Is Takaishi going to express lengthy complain harsher than when Trump abducted Venezuelan president?

  3. And here we go. As I mentioned earlier, reducing tourist inflow was merely a polite gesture, a friendly greeting. However, they’ve begun to take their gloves off. By the way, this is akin to the initial pull on the index finger of the glove.

  4. I think China is gearing up for war honestly, rare earth, silver, now export control for military use for Japan. It’s all coming to head

  5. Everyday China is proving that Takaichi made the right mark. 

    Always wonder why the mainstream voices on this sub is cheering China on. Could you kindly tell me what exactly wrong was Taksichi’s statement?
