China blasts Japan over Taiwan but quietly avoids real retaliation to protect itself
China is loudly attacking Prime Minister Takaichi over her Taiwan comments, but behind the scenes Beijing is avoiding any real punishment against Japan.
China’s anger is mostly a performance for domestic politics, because serious sanctions would damage its own weakening economy.
Xi Jinping cannot appear soft on Taiwan, yet he also can’t risk pushing Japan closer to the United States and Taiwan.
Japan’s new Taiwan-friendly stance, combined with Trump’s stronger support for Taiwan, has put huge pressure on Beijing.
China is targeting Takaichi personally instead of Japan as a whole because they cannot afford to escalate.
Actual penalties remain minor, limited mostly to political outrage, travel warnings, and symbolic gestures.
China depends heavily on Japanese machinery, technology, and investment, making harsh sanctions too costly.
This conflict is now a long-term diplomatic standoff where China must “act furious” while quietly avoiding moves that would backfire.
