Tensions in Japan-China relations have remained elevated since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s November 2025 remarks on Taiwan, which Beijing condemned as crossing a red line and prompted a range of retaliatory steps including curtailed tourism, export controls, and symbolic gestures such as panda recalls. The two leaders last met on the sidelines of the October 2025 APEC summit in South Korea, shortly after Takaichi took office; no further bilateral encounters have occurred. Xi Jinping expressed strong criticism of Japan’s defense posture during his May 2026 discussions with U.S. President Trump. With the next major multilateral opportunity—the November 2026 APEC summit hosted in China—analysts assess the prospects for a side meeting as low amid the broader diplomatic standoff, U.S.-China dynamics, and Beijing’s strategic focus on Taiwan. Trader pricing reflects these persistent barriers to renewed high-level contact before year-end.
