Video Description

For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has pushed China-Japan relations to the brink, just three weeks into her tenure.

Beijing responded with stern diplomatic protests, live-fire drills at sea and an unprecedented wave of countermeasures. Why did China react so strongly? Is Japan seeking to revisit its militaristic past? What does this mean for the Taiwan Strait and Asia-Pacific security?
