According to the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun", the trilateral summit of China, Japan, and South Korea, which was originally scheduled for December and has always been an important platform for discussing Northeast Asian economic cooperation, has been postponed due to the "deterioration of relations between Tokyo and Beijing".

The rotating presidency for 2025 will be Japan. In March of this year, the foreign ministers of the three countries held a meeting and agreed in principle to hold the trilateral summit in December.

However, on November 7, during a parliamentary response, Koichi Hagiuda stated regarding "Taiwan's situation" that if it involves the deployment of warships and the use of force, it could constitute a "survival crisis situation". This statement has triggered the most serious diplomatic conflict between Tokyo and Beijing in recent years.

In fact, for China, Japan, and South Korea, the status of this trilateral meeting is fundamentally unequal. Japan and South Korea cannot even manage their own homes, so what is there to discuss?
