Admin’s Note

This news addresses China’s intensified criticism of Prime Minister Takaichi, highlighting the complexities of international relations. Notably, the use of manga as a medium to convey emotional and symbolic messages is striking. Such actions can be seen as part of the information warfare within the international community. We need to carefully monitor how diplomacy will evolve moving forward.
