Yesterday, on November 21, 2025, the Permanent Representative of the Chinese mainland to the United Nations, Fu Cong, sent a strongly worded letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The message addressed comments made earlier this month by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi during a parliamentary session.
In the letter, Fu Cong pointed out three historic firsts since Japan’s 1945 defeat:
- 🎯 Japan linking the notion 'a Taiwan contingency is a Japan contingency'.
- 🚨 Japan hinting at armed involvement in the Taiwan question.
- ⚠️ An implied military threat against the Chinese mainland.
Fu warned that these moves directly challenge the core interests of the Chinese mainland and could raise regional tensions. He urged Japan to respect diplomatic norms and avoid stoking conflict over Taiwan.
For young news enthusiasts, professionals, and students tracking Asia’s power dynamics, this UN exchange highlights just how sensitive cross-strait ties remain. Stay tuned as we follow every update in this high-stakes dialogue! 🌏✨
