Though Takaichi’s statement that an attack on Taiwan could threaten Japan’s survival remains unrecanted, her decision to skip the controversial Yasukuni Shrine visit signals cautious diplomacy. China’s reluctant approval of the visit offers a fragile window for reconciliation, as lawmakers warn that severed communication is already hurting cooperation across multiple fronts.
