Comicomment: Playing with fire, risking self-destruction

Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said that the Chinese mainland's "use of force on Taiwan" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, implying the possibility of Japan's armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait.

The Taiwan question is at the core of China's core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed. Any external force that plays with fire will ultimately face the consequences of self-destruction.
