Taiwan's president supports Japan amid rising tensions with China, sharing a sushi lunch to symbolize solidarity.
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te showed his support for Japan on Thursday (November 20, 2025) with a lunch of Japanese-sourced sushi, after China indicated it would ban all imports of the country’s seafood in an escalating dispute over the Chinese-claimed island.
Tensions between the two countries ignited after new Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said this month that a Chinese attack on Taiwan threatening Japan’s survival could trigger a military response.
