Comicomment: Those who play with fire will perish by it

By making blatantly false and inflammatory remarks about China's Taiwan and even threatening to use force under the fabricated pretext of a so-called "survival-threatening situation," Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has exposed the dangerous pathology of Japan's historical revisionism and resurgent militarism.

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.
