On Friday, a crowd of Japanese citizens gathered in the streets of Tokyo to demand that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi apologize for her remarks about Taiwan. According to information from the Xinhua agency, the protest took place around 19:00 local time, and demonstrators demanded the official's resignation and a rectification of her statements. On November 7, during a session of the Japanese Diet (Parliament), Takaichi stated that the 'use of force against Taiwan' by mainland China could constitute a 'situation threatening the survival' of Japan, and she hinted at the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait. 'It is truly incomprehensible,' said a woman who participated in the protest. So far, Takaichi has not yet apologized and has not retracted her words about the Asian giant.
