Chako: Hey Log, why are Japan and China so at odds with each other?
Log: If you look at the recent interactions at the United Nations, it seems to stem from Prime Minister Takaichi’s comments about a potential crisis in Taiwan. China has reacted strongly to that.
Chako: I see! But why do they react so strongly?
Log: Historically, Taiwan is a very important region for China, so their backlash is significant.
Navi: To add to that, the Taiwan issue is a sensitive topic internationally, and China likely aims to promote its claims within the global community.
Chako: I get it! Still, discussions at the United Nations are really important, aren’t they?
