**Takaichi became Japan's prime minister in October 2025 and held her first meeting with Xi Jinping on the APEC sidelines in South Korea later that month, where both sides pledged constructive, stable bilateral ties amid discussions on rare earths and security.** Tensions escalated in November 2025 after her parliamentary remarks framing a potential Taiwan contingency as an existential threat to Japan, prompting a diplomatic row and Chinese criticism of Japan's defense posture. Her Liberal Democratic Party secured a landslide victory in the February 2026 snap election, consolidating her position. In mid-May 2026, Xi sharply criticized Takaichi's "remilitarization" policies by name during his Beijing summit with U.S. President Trump. Japanese officials have since sought a follow-up leader-level meeting, with the November 2026 APEC summit in China viewed as a potential venue, though ongoing frictions over Taiwan, defense spending, and regional security continue to shape the outlook reflected in current trader pricing.
