China has issued its strongest warning yet to Japan following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's controversial remarks about potential intervention in the Taiwan Strait, with experts revealing detailed countermeasure strategies as tensions reach new heights in November 2025.
At the center of the diplomatic storm are Takaichi's recent claims that the Chinese mainland's Taiwan policy could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador Kenji Kanasugi in the early hours of November 14, delivering an unprecedented rebuke authorized directly by senior Chinese leadership.
Nankai University's Ding Nuozhou noted the coordinated responses from China's Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, and Taiwan Affairs Office indicate this has escalated beyond routine diplomacy. "The phrase 'all consequences shall be borne by Japan' signals we're entering dangerous territory," Ding explained, referencing China's established playbook of economic sanctions and suspended intergovernmental exchanges.
The timing carries historical weight, with 2025 marking the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War victory. Chinese Academy of Social Sciences researcher Lyu Yaodong emphasized: "Japan's post-war constitutional constraints on military force aren't mere suggestions – they're fundamental to regional stability."
Defense analysts highlight the strategic significance of China's warning about delivering a "crushing defeat," a term carrying both diplomatic and military implications. While no immediate actions have been taken, experts confirm China maintains multiple response options that could be activated "at any time" should tensions escalate further.
