Did Trump's threat work? Preliminary voter counts in Honduras show Right-Wing "Grandpa" in the Lead

Under the strong intervention of US President Trump's "threat to cut off aid," preliminary vote counts in the Honduran presidential election show that the right-wing candidate supported by Trump, Nasry Asfura, is currently in the lead, while the ruling left-wing camp is far behind. This may mark the end of left-wing rule in another Latin American country, following Argentina and Bolivia, with the political situation collectively "shifting to the right."

According to AFP, preliminary data released by the Honduran Electoral Commission shows that, with nearly half of the votes counted, 67-year-old Asfra is leading by a narrow margin with less than 41% of the vote. Closely following is another right-wing candidate, 72-year-old prominent television presenter Salvador Nasralla, with approximately 39% of the vote. Meanwhile, 60-year-old lawyer Rixi Moncada, running for the ruling Libre party of incumbent President Xiomara Castro, has been marginalized with only about 20% of the vote.

Asfra, a former mayor of the capital Tegusigaba, is affectionately known as "Grandad" due to his approachable image, and his campaign slogan is "Grandpa at your service!" However, the main protagonist of this election remains Trump, who is not even a candidate.

Trump's "No Money If He Loses" threatens election outlook

The report points out that in the final moments before the election, Trump not only publicly endorsed Asfra but also threatened on social media: "If he (Asfra) doesn't win, the United States will stop throwing money down the drain." This implied cutting off economic aid to the impoverished country. Furthermore, Trump dropped a bombshell, announcing a pardon for former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is serving time in the U.S. for drug trafficking. While this prompted Asfra to hastily sever ties, Trump's forceful intervention has clearly altered the course of the election.

A victory for either Asfra or Naslaya would signify a change of government in Honduras, ending left-wing rule. This reflects voters' choices under economic hardship and external pressure. Honduras is heavily reliant on remittances from its overseas population (accounting for 27% of GDP), and Trump's deportation of nearly 30,000 Honduran immigrants since taking office has forced many voters to consider the U.S.'s stance. Despite a right-wing lead, concerns remain about potential post-election unrest due to delays in vote counting and previous allegations of fraud between the two sides.

Honduras's presidential election delivers a heavy blow to pro-China faction; two pro-Taiwan candidates separated by only 515 votes

Reporters : Lin Jiawei and Chen Lingzhi / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2025/12/02/a104043274.html

Let's start with the latest statistics from Honduras, a former ally of Taiwan in Latin America, regarding its presidential election. Nasry Asfura, the candidate of the National Party, which is closer to the US and Taiwan, leads with nearly 40% of the vote. Salvador Nasralla, a former vice president, is in second place, with only a 515-vote difference between the two. Both conservative candidates advocate restoring diplomatic relations with Taiwan and severing ties with the Chinese Communist Party. Meanwhile, the pro-China ruling party candidate, Moncada, received less than 20% of the vote.

Ana Paola Hall, President of the Honduran Electoral Commission: "National Party candidate: 530,073 votes."

Approximately 54% of the votes in the Honduran presidential election have been counted. Asfra, the National Party candidate endorsed by U.S. President Trump, is currently leading with 40% of the vote. Salvador Nasralla of the conservative Liberal Party is close behind with 39.7% of the vote. Rixi Moncada, the candidate of incumbent President Castro's left-wing, pro-communist party, has only received 19.2% of the vote.

Polling stations closed at 5 pm local time on 30 November 2025. Preliminary results were originally scheduled to be released at 9 pm but the release was delayed by several hours.

Honduran National Party candidate Asfra: "Article 279 clearly states that the first break is three hours, which should be at 9 pm. Ana Paola Hall, come out and implement it. I don't know what you're waiting for. For democracy, please implement it."

Asfra, 67, is a veteran politician, having served as Vice Congressman and former mayor of Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital. In this year's election, Asfra supported restoring diplomatic relations with Taiwan. His campaign received the support of US President Trump.

Both Asfra and the conservative Liberal Party's Nasralla  pledged to sever diplomatic ties with Venezuela if elected and stated they would not recognize Maduro as president. Trump believes he and Asfra can cooperate to combat drug communists. Both candidates also support restoring diplomatic relations with Taiwan; however, Trump stated that Nasralla's candidacy is a communist conspiracy aimed at splitting Asfra's vote and is therefore untrustworthy.

The U.S. State Department's Western Hemisphere Affairs Bureau also stated it will closely monitor the final stages of the Honduran election.

Since Trump returned to the White House in January, nearly 30,000 Honduran immigrants have been deported from the United States. Trump warned that if Asfra loses the election, he will cut aid to Honduras.

Honduras' presidential election remains tight! Trump's threat to cut off aid casts a shadow, and candidates hastily distance themselves from amnesty case

The Honduran presidential election concluded on 30 November 2025, with the outcome remaining extremely close. AFP reports that the entire campaign was overshadowed by the strong intervention of US President Trump. Trump not only publicly endorsed right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura, but also threatened to cut off US economic aid to Honduras if he lost the election. He even dropped a bombshell by announcing a pardon for the country's former president, who is imprisoned for drug trafficking, causing widespread uproar.

Trump's threats to cut aid and pardon drug lord elicit polarized voter reactions.

The report indicates that Trump intensified pressure in the final moments before the election, threatening not to provide aid if Asfura did not win, and announcing plans to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is currently serving a 45-year prison sentence in the US. Hernandez was convicted of turning Hondura into a "drug-producing nation" and facilitating the trafficking of cocaine. Trump's move shocked the Honduran community.

Voters reacted polarized. Some hoped that complying with Trump's wishes would secure a better living environment for Honduran immigrants in the U.S.; however, other voters strongly resisted, rejecting foreign interference. In a post-vote interview, Asfra appeared embarrassed, hastily denying that the amnesty had helped him and emphasizing that the topic was "irrelevant to the election," attempting to distance himself from the former drug lord president.

Rixi Moncada, running for the ruling Libre party, framed her campaign as a battle against an "oligarchic group plotting a coup," evoking memories of the 2009 coup among her supporters. She firmly stated that she would "only accept the final result," refusing to accept preliminary vote counts. National Electoral Commission Chairwoman Ana Paola Hall urgently appealed to all camps to exercise restraint and avoid escalating tensions. There are concerns that the mutual distrust between the two sides could lead to social unrest after the election.

AFP analysis suggests that although Honduras has long suffered from drug trafficking and gang violence, candidates have rarely offered concrete solutions during the campaign, instead becoming embroiled in political mudslinging. Since Trump took office in January, he has deported nearly 30,000 Honduran immigrants, further exacerbating the plight of families reliant on overseas remittances. 58-year-old voter Maria Velasquez expressed her frustration, saying she only hoped the new government would improve the economy, adding, "I just want to escape poverty."

Panama is on track to re-establish trade ties with Taiwan! Honduras is not far behind

Report : Financial Channel / https://ec.ltn.com.tw/article/breakingnews/526563 / Image : Panama is exploring the possibility of restoring broader trade ties with Taiwan, driven by maritime activities between the two countries.

According to Honduran media reports, Taiwan's Ambassador to Paraguay, Han Chih-cheng, mentioned that discussions are underway in Panama regarding the possibility of strengthening relations with Taiwan. He stated that Panama is exploring the possibility of restoring broader trade ties with Taiwan, driven by maritime activities between the two countries. He pointed out that many merchant ships registered in Panama have historically operated routes related to Taiwan.

Han explained that while Panama maintains diplomatic relations with China, it also retains its free trade agreement with Taiwan. Therefore, export trade between the two countries remains unchanged.

Han emphasized that Taiwan's main areas of cooperation are concentrated in healthcare and education, which Taiwan considers crucial for countries maintaining ties with Taipei. He also mentioned cooperation opportunities in agriculture and technology, but stressed that social projects are usually a priority.

Han stressed that the situation differs from that of Honduras, as Honduras' decision to sever ties with Taipei was based on "ideological issues."

In other countries, China has not fulfilled all its promises. In Honduras, China's failure to deliver on its commitments has led to a sharp decline in domestic fish exports, delayed construction projects, and massive unemployment. Han pointed out that in Honduras' case, these promises ultimately only resulted in the breakdown of the agreement, which is now effectively null and void.

Nine Panamanian members of parliament began visiting Taiwan on November 25th, marking the first visit by a parliamentary delegation since the severing of diplomatic ties between the two countries. Panamanian Congressman Roland Ameth De Gracia stated that the purpose of his trip was to rekindle the past friendship between Taiwan and Panama, hoping that the Panamanian Congress would serve as a bridge for communication between the two countries and bring back voices expressing the willingness of both sides to restart interactions, working together to promote future exchanges and cooperation between the two nations.

Honduras held its presidential election recently (November 30), and the results are about to be announced. Preliminary results show that the two pro-Taiwan candidates are separated by only 515 votes, with the National Party candidate Asfra, who has the support of US President Trump, leading the Liberal Party candidate Naslaa, making the election extremely close. Meanwhile, the pro-China ruling party Liberal Reconstruction Party candidate Moncada is trailing in third place.

Fernando Ramos, a Honduran lawyer and analyst previously based in Taipei, stated that the shift in Honduras's political direction could lead to the restoration of diplomatic relations between the country and Taiwan. In an interview with Centroamérica360, he said that if the opposition wins the 2025 presidential election, there is a very high chance that Honduras will rebuild diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

The more ruthless the account bans, the fiercer the resistance! Chinese netizens launch a collective counterattack

- Suspected involvement in the Yu Menglong incident: A large number of Weibo user accounts have been banned or suspended

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Fang Xun / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/1126/2311087.html

Recently, a large number of Chinese netizens have collectively complained that their Weibo accounts were suddenly and uniformly banned without warning, without any violation, and without any appeal channel. Netizens generally suspect that this "indiscriminate account annihilation" is directly related to the Yu Menglong death incident and the Yunnan "wild child" incident.

On the 24th, Xiaohongshu was instantly flooded with complaints: "Accounts that have been around for over ten years are being banned just like that," "Membership fees were wasted," "No chance to appeal at all." Many people discovered that as long as they liked, commented on, or reposted anything related to Yu Menglong, even if it was two months ago, or even if the account had been inactive for a long time, it was precisely targeted and eliminated by big data. "It's like being wiped out in one fell swoop," "Completely disgusting," netizens angrily cursed.

Similar public outrage erupted on Zhihu, with a large number of users being banned for several days in a row, yet no violation of the 65 rules could be found. "This isn't management, this is silencing." Some angrily denounced: "Even ten-year verified accounts have been shut down, and they're still writing 'politically related' stuff? It's laughable."

Even more shocking is that several influential figures with millions of followers—Song Zude, Wolf Uncle, Luban, etc.—were also completely wiped out for supporting Yu Menglong. "No followers, no memberships, and no refunds."

Netizens unanimously concluded:

"The more they censor, the more guilty they seem."

"The crazy account bans show they're scared."

Following this was an unprecedented wave of resistance:

"Give it one star in the app store!"

"Go and sell its stock!"

"The more they censor, the more we should speak out!"

"Those who silenced them will pay the price!"

"Wait for the backlash!"

Public opinion is retaliating, and this time, countless ordinary people are standing up together.

Yu Menglong case suspect Xin Qi bears a striking resemblance to Xi Yuanping

Old photos of Yu Menglong case suspect "Xin Qi" bear a striking resemblance to Xi Yuanping! Li Muyang suspected: the relationship is not simple

The case of Yu Menglong's fall from a building has dragged on for over 70 days, with netizens pointing the finger at a "gathering of 17 people" he attended before his death. In response, internet celebrity Li Muyang pointed out that while most of the named suspects have responded to some extent, Xin Qi is the exception. Regardless of the external criticism, he has remained silent throughout. Furthermore, comparisons have revealed a striking resemblance between Xin Qi and Xi Yuanping before his plastic surgery, and Xin Qi's name is even more striking than Xi Jinping's mother's, "Qi Xin," read backwards. Therefore, Li Muyang suspects that the relationship between Xin Qi and Xi Yuanping is not innocent.

Conspiracy theories surrounding Yu Menglong's case have gone viral online, and the cause of his death remains shrouded in mystery. Netizens have pointed the finger at a "gathering of 17 people" he attended before his death, including director Xin Qi, director Cheng Qingsong, screenwriter Jiguangguang, director Fang Li, actress Song Yiren, actress Tian Hairong, and singer Jiao Maiqi. In response, internet celebrity Li Muyang pointed out on his YouTube channel "News Highlights Li Muyang" that while most of the named suspects have shown some reaction, Xin Qi is an exception. Regardless of the external criticism, he has remained completely silent. Therefore, he stated, "His composure is probably due to a powerful backer, and a very powerful one at that."

Recently, netizens shared a photo of Xi Zhongxun and his wife, along with four other Xi brothers, noting a striking resemblance between Xin Qi and Xi Yuanping before his alleged plastic surgery. Li Muyang consulted various AIs, and ChatGPT responded that the overall similarity between the two is "moderately high," especially in facial lines and proportions, eyebrow and eye features, and the shape of their smiles.

Grok explicitly stated that the similarity was "very high," noting the striking resemblance in face shape, nose, eyes, eyebrows, lips, philtrum, and overall bone structure—a similarity of "85% to 90% or more." Therefore, Grok concluded that it is highly likely the same person, with photos taken at different ages, or that they are very closely related direct relatives, such as father and son.

Furthermore, Li Muyang pointed out that, according to his intelligence, Xi Jinping's mother's name was Qi Xin, which is Xin Qi's name reversed. This led him to suspect, "Is there a connection between the two? Could it be that Xi Yuanping reversed Qi Xin's name to name his illegitimate child?" He further suggested that Xin Qi's situation is similar to the "Yan'an Seed Project" initiated by Deng Xiaoping, which aimed to preserve the DNA of seven leaders from the Yan'an period, hoping that their descendants would inherit the DNA regardless of whether the CCP existed in the future.

Self-media commentator Zhai Shanying stated that the CCP selected nearly 200 women to produce offspring for them. These offspring are unaware of their lineage because CCP leaders fear potential retribution. Therefore, these hidden descendants are required to live in a closed environment, with limited contact with the outside world. After being raised, they are subjected to clandestine activities, supported by substantial hidden wealth provided by the CCP.

Xin Qi became a deputy director-level official at 18 and a deputy ministerial-level official at 28. Li Muyang frankly stated, "Such a bizarre resume is beyond the reach of ordinary families." Independent commentator Cai Shenkun pointed out that insiders know Xin Qi has a CCP background. Another insider revealed, "That man is known in investment circles. He has a sinister appearance, wears glasses, has a bluish-white complexion, likes to manipulate things behind the scenes, uses virtual numbers for phone calls, and knows CCTV leaders. He also has a black market supply chain behind him, laundering money abroad through banks. Bank leaders also know who he is because they know him before transferring money abroad; without notification, the money can't be transferred out."

Therefore, Li Muyang stated that the many bizarre events that ordinary people would never dare to imagine accumulated in Xin Qi's life, highlighting his extraordinary background. "Based on the comprehensive analysis, has the mystery of finding Xin Qi's father been solved?"

The bank's leadership knows who he is because they know him before transferring money overseas; they can't transfer money without notifying him."

If something happens to Taiwan, it means something happens to the United States

Miles Yu : If something happens to Taiwan, it means something happens to the United States

Commentator : Miles Yu / Editor: Li Guangsong / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/1126/2310975.html / Image : Aboluowang

In her recent policy statement, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi articulated a significant position on the Taiwan issue, one that stands in stark contrast to the prevailing global narrative regarding tensions across the Taiwan Strait.

While most of the world remains trapped in the discourse framework relentlessly promoted by Beijing, portraying Taiwan as a Chinese "internal affair," a "unification vs. independence" issue, and therefore outside the scope of international concern, Ms. Takaichi completely circumvents this premise.

Instead, she grounds Japan's position in the concrete geographical and strategic realities of Japan's security environment, rather than in abstract sovereignty issues or historical claims. In doing so, she provides a model for democracies, particularly the United States, to rethink their own interests in Taiwan's future.

Beijing's preferred narrative—that Taiwan "belongs to China" and other countries should remain neutral—has long influenced global discourse, even among democracies skeptical of China's intentions.

This framework subtly compels the international community to view Taiwan's security issue from a Chinese nationalist perspective, rather than from the perspective of Indo-Pacific geopolitical balance. The result is a timid diplomatic vocabulary: countries express "opposition to unilateral changes to the status quo," "support for a peaceful resolution," or "maintaining strategic ambiguity," but rarely clearly explain what Taiwan's fate means for their own national security.

Ms. Takaichi, however, cuts to the chase. She does not waste time arguing about China's historical claims or Taiwan's political status, but focuses with remarkable clarity on the implications for Japan. She points out that Taiwan is less than seventy miles from Yonaguni Island, Japan. Japan's key shipping lanes, energy transport routes, and defense perimeter all directly intersect with Taiwan's airspace and waters. A Taiwan controlled by China would not only alter the balance of power in East Asia but would also allow the People's Liberation Army to directly pressure Japan's southern flank, threaten the Ryukyu Islands, restrict Japan's maritime routes, and deeply extend Beijing's anti-access/area denial capabilities into the Western Pacific.

In other words, if Taiwan falls, Japan's security will collapse.

This argument is starkly different from common pro-Taiwan justifications based on morality or values. It is not out of sympathy for a thriving democracy under threat—though Japan certainly does possess such sympathy; nor is it to defend "international norms"—though Tokyo also values ​​them highly. Instead, Sanae Takaichi explicitly asserts: defending Taiwan is defending Japan. These interests are direct, concrete, and unambiguously tied to Japan's national interests.

This repositioning has two important implications. First, it avoids falling into the rhetoric traps favored by Beijing, such as "Chinese sovereignty" or "unification versus Taiwan independence," which are rhetorical traps. Once foreign governments accept that the Taiwan issue is "essentially a matter of Chinese ownership," all subsequent discourse becomes passive, limited, or weakened.

Second, it provides other democracies with a clear and frank template for articulating their own interests. Washington, in particular, should pay close attention.

The United States' long-standing policy toward Taiwan has emphasized deterrence, democracy, and maintaining peace and stability. These principles are important but they fail to fully express the specific national interests facing the United States.

Like Japan, if Taiwan falls under Beijing's control, the United States' strategic environment and its own national interests will be fundamentally altered. Beyond the prospect of Taiwan's global semiconductor manufacturing leadership falling into the hands of communist China—a near-certain blow to the U.S. economy—a PLA-controlled Taiwan would also tear apart the First Island Chain, allowing China unimpeded military projection into the Central Pacific.

This would also give China control of the region's last strategic chokepoint, linking its claims in the East China Sea with its ambitions in the South China Sea, effectively placing the entire Western Pacific under Beijing's control.

It would also undermine U.S. alliances with Japan and the Philippines, threaten Guam, and destroy the U.S.'s credibility as the guarantor of security in the Asia-Pacific.

Furthermore, it would accelerate the collapse of democratic confidence in the region and encourage the expansion of other authoritarian powers. Crucially, it would enable Beijing to challenge U.S. air and sea superiority in a way that directly impacts U.S. economic and security interests, with effects lasting for decades.

However, Washington continues to address the Taiwan issue primarily in rhetoric of supporting democracy or opposing coercion. While these goals are commendable, they are far from sufficient to mobilize sustained national will.

What the United States needs is the same strategic clarity as Sanae Takaichi: defending Taiwan is not only not Taiwan's own problem, nor even primarily a problem belonging to China, but a matter of U.S. interests that will immediately impact U.S. security. By viewing Taiwan as a matter of self-interest, rather than an altruistic moral handout, Washington can more effectively explain Taiwan's importance to itself and its allies.

This is not merely about protecting a democracy, nor simply about avoiding conflict, but about preventing a drastic shift in the global balance of power and preventing the United States from becoming less secure, less influential, and less able to shape the international order.

Therefore, Takaichi's argument not only reminds Japan of its own geopolitical vulnerability but also extends a strategic invitation to the United States: to view Taiwan with a more realistic perspective.

Taiwan's defense is in the national interests of both Japan and the United States. Beijing wants the world to continue debating Taiwan's "status."

Takaichi suggests that democracies should focus on their own interests, their own geography, and their own security. Washington should heed this advice. Defending Taiwan, in its most pragmatic and far-reaching sense, is defending America's own future.

CCP's "150-Year Project" mainly relies on organ transplants, Regenerative Medicine is a pretext

Chinese Communist Party's "150-Year Project": Scholars say it mainly relies on Organ Transplants, Regenerative Medicine is a Pretext

Reporter : Jin Jing / Editor : Lin Qing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2025/11/24/a104041247.html / Image : Dr. Lin Xiaoxu. File photo. (Epoch Times)

Recently, topics such as "celebrity rejuvenation," "life extension through blood transfusions from young people," and the CCP leader's "living to 150 years old" have continued to generate discussion. Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, an American virologist and former director of the virus laboratory at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, analyzed and revealed on the program "Wei Yu's View of the World" the CCP's black industrial chain of regenerative science, from live organ harvesting to the plunder of various human resources. He mentioned that CCP leader Xi Jinping's claim of living to 150 years old is not unfounded, and this is mainly achieved through organ transplants.

Dr. Lin Xiaoxu believes that achieving the so-called goal of living to 150 years old primarily relies on organ transplantation, while regenerative medicine is merely a facade or an "added value." The key lies in organ transplantation and continuous organ replacement. In cases of aging or severe illness, only organ transplants, such as kidneys or livers, can remove toxins and harmful substances from the body and alter its overall energy state. On this basis, regenerative medicine's "cosmetic" techniques can then be used to make one appear younger.

A Cambodian life science institute has been exposed for using surrogate babies to manufacture "anti-aging drugs," and the company is linked to the Prince Group, with the Chinese Communist Party allegedly involved in this black market supply chain. Dr. Lin stated that this is not unfounded, and the Chinese Communist Party is likely the true manipulator. He pointed out that since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, large-scale organ harvesting has been carried out through the cooperation of the Ministry of Public Security, the judicial system, courts, and hospitals. In such a system that treats people as a "human resource," it is highly possible to conduct so-called regenerative medicine research, extracting biological products from human bodies and selling them to hospitals for profit.

Dr. Lin pointed out that these black industries, operating under the guise of regenerative science, are primarily engaged in forced organ harvesting. According to his understanding, in 2023, 23 people traveled from Malaysia to Cambodia for organ transplants, rather than to the technologically advanced United States or China, where organ waiting times are shorter. Why? Dr. Lin believes that besides the availability of organs locally, there is also cooperation with China; Chinese doctors can avoid the risk of international condemnation by performing the procedures there.

Dr. Lin stated that the fundamental problem is not the technology of regenerative medicine, but rather the CCP's crossing of ethical boundaries, treating people as a "human mine" for exploitation. The human body is used for almost anything, which is extremely frightening. He called on the international community to completely sever ties with Chinese transplant medical institutions to avoid becoming accomplices.

Current affairs commentator Tang Baiqiao recently also discussed on the program "Fang Fei Time" that organ transplantation has become one of the three things the CCP uses to corrupt Western elites. Compared to money and sex, the allure of organ transplantation is far greater. Many sickly people abroad have gone to China and returned full of energy. He stated that the consequences of this are extremely terrifying.

If China were to militarily invade Taiwan, the premise of the Japan-China Joint Communiqué would collapse

Nikkei: Japan does not recognize Taiwan as Chinese territory; if a joint communiqué on reunification by force were to be signed, the premise would collapse

Editor : Shi Fang / Source : Newtalk / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/1125/2310581.html / Image : For the past 50 years, successive Japanese prime ministers have adopted an ambiguous stance on the "One China" principle, never acknowledging Taiwan as Chinese territory. Sanae Takaichi is no exception. (Image: Taken from Sanae Takaichi's X)

China recently reacted strongly to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's response to a question about the potential triggering of collective self-defense adjustments in the event of a "Taiwan crisis." The Chinese Communist Embassy in Japan criticized Takaichi on social media on the 10th, stating that she "seriously violated the 'One China' principle." In response, the Nikkei Shimbun pointed out today (25 November 2025) that Japan and China have differing interpretations of "One China." Japan does not recognize Taiwan as Chinese territory, and "if China were to militarily invade Taiwan, the premise of the Japan-China Joint Communiqué would collapse."

The report points out that China claims Japan recognizes the "One China" principle based on the 1972 Japan-China Joint Communiqué; however, this document deliberately leaves some ambiguities rather than explicitly stating "recognition."

Article 2 of the Japan-China Joint Communiqué states that Japan "recognizes" "the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China." Article 3 outlines the relationship between China and Taiwan. China declared that "Taiwan is an inseparable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China." Japan stated that it would "fully understand and respect" this position. Subsequently, Japan continued, stating that "we will firmly uphold our position in accordance with Article 8 of the Potsdam Declaration."

What exactly did Japan promise in Article 3? Testimony from diplomats involved in the negotiations with China at the time is recorded in Shoichi Kuriyama's (then head of the Treaty Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, later Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs) 2010 book, *Diplomatic Testimony: The Return of Okinawa, the Normalization of Japan-China Relations, and the Japan-US "Secret Agreement"* (Iwanami Shoten). He wrote that the initial draft submitted by the Japanese government to the Chinese side only contained the phrase "fully understand and respect." Unlike "recognition," "understanding" and "respect" are considered meaningless terms in the diplomatic context.

Kuriyama proposed the wording of Article 8 of the Potsdam Declaration, allowing Japan to adopt a vague position, neither recognizing Taiwan as Chinese territory nor denying its existence. While "understanding and respecting" China's "One China" principle, Japan has maintained relations with Taiwan for over 50 years.

When Japan negotiated the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, the Japanese government's position could be summarized as follows: it would not oppose China's future reunification with Taiwan, but only if the issue was resolved peacefully. Some within the Japanese government also believed that "if China were to militarily invade Taiwan, the premise of the Japan-China Joint Communiqué would collapse."

The report points out that recently, statements made by China, including those from the Chinese Embassy in Japan, regarding the "One China" issue, have claimed that Japan recognizes this principle in the Japan-China Joint Communiqué. This reveals China's attempt to disseminate its interpretation of "One China" internationally and gain an informational advantage over Japan.

However, Japan did not directly acknowledge "One China" during the negotiations for the Japan-China Joint Communiqué, but rather adopted an ambiguous stance, believing that the Taiwan issue would ultimately be resolved peacefully. To some extent, successive Japanese prime ministers have inherited this spirit, avoiding concrete assumptions about a potential "Taiwan crisis."

Insider information: A single sentence from Takaichi intimidated Xi Jinping for five days! The prelude to the Taiwan Strait conflict has begun

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/1124/2310220.html

Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese legal scholar in exile in Australia, revealed inside information to "Vision Times": Sanae Takaichi's declaration, "If Taiwan is in trouble, Japan is in trouble," triggered a national will that sent the CCP machinery reeling, leaving it in a zombie-like silence for five days! A conscientious person within the system revealed that only after dictator Xi Jinping gave the order did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the CCP's military, and its propaganda apparatus revive like demons, unleashing a barrage of attacks—slashing throats, secretly taking thuggish photos, cursing and hurling insults—revealing the despicable and sinister nature of Xi, the leader of a mafia-like organization!

This round of diplomatic and propaganda warfare is the prelude to the CCP's cross-strait offensive! It directly forces Sanae Kao to apologize and resign, strategically destroying Japan's fighting spirit: conquering Japan so it dares not retaliate if it invades Taiwan; making an example of Japan to undermine the resolve of the US, UK, Australia, and Europe to intervene. The CCP's sinister intentions: to unite with Trump, the high-profile purchase of US soybeans on the 18th was a test of bribery—Yuan Hongbing believes this is a potential act of contempt and insult from Xi Jinping towards Trump!

Yuan Hongbing's "The New Order After WWII": Japan Abandons Militarism, Elevates its Democratic System, and Reaches the Pinnacle of Civilization! The CCP, however, imprisons China and Japan in historical hatred, glorifying its rhetoric as a means to maintain international order—utterly absurd! The post-WWII order was originally a clash between evil socialist autocracy and free democracy, but it has drastically changed: the communist bloodline has spread throughout East Asia, and China has become a Marxist-Leninist colony. The CCP, the most brutal traitorous group, has sold its soul, destroyed China's spiritual homeland, its cultural homeland! All Chinese people are cultural slaves and political slaves; after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the CCP has become a global communist Bastille, and Xi Jinping's totalitarian expansion has become the source of 21st-century war and an enemy of humanity!

In contrast, Japan: after 80 years of reflecting on its crimes of aggression, it has transformed into a free and democratic nation, with its constitutional spirit above all else; its contributions to science, education, economy, and culture are irreplaceable. The Takaichi's statement reveals the life-and-death bond between free Taiwan and Japan! The CCP, along with the Russian-Korean axis, has imprisoned the Chinese people in the ruins of WWII for life, using hatred to dominate current relations.

Yuan Hongbing pointed out that the only way out for the Chinese people is to resist and destroy the CCP's tyranny, comforting the nearly 100 million wronged souls; to reclaim freedom and human rights, making China like Japan and Taiwan, a land of popular sovereignty and a sacred land of freedom!

The CCP is at its wits' end; Wang Yi lashes out. Scholars: The CCP is the one with the aggressive nature

Sino-Japanese relations remain tense. Faced with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's hardline stance, the CCP is furious and has resorted to various threats and intimidation, but the Takaichi cabinet's approval rating has actually risen.

During his visit to three Central Asian countries from 19 to 22 November 2025, Chinese Communist Foreign Minister Wang Yi claimed that Sanae Takaichi "crossed a red line that should not be touched," and that the CCP "has the right to re-account for Japan's historical crimes."

On 21 November, the Chinese Communist Consulate in Japan cited the "enemy state clause" in the 1945 UN Charter, arguing that it could take military action against Japan without UN permission.

Previously (7 November 2025), Sanae Takaichi, during questioning in the Diet, stated that if China were to attack Taiwan, located only about 100 km from Japan, it could be considered a "threat to Japan's survival," allowing Japan to deploy its Self-Defense Forces for defense.

Japan has repeatedly emphasized that "the enhancement of its defense capabilities is for national security, not a revival of militarism."

Feng Chongyi, an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney, told The Epoch Times that Japan has been known for its peace since the post-war period, while China, on the other hand, has been aggressive and uses hatred to divert attention from domestic contradictions accumulated under its totalitarian rule.

Feng Chongyi stated that history has been completely reversed; Japan is on the defensive, while China is aggressive and poses a significant threat to the surrounding region.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Canadian writer and veteran commentator Sheng Xue stated, "The CCP's so-called revival of militarism is merely a political propaganda tool." To incite hatred towards Japan among the Chinese people, they have consistently cultivated a so-called "Japan threat theory." However, a consensus is gradually forming within Japan regarding the CCP: the CCP's threat must be resisted.

Feng Chongyi pointed out that the original "enemy state clause" corresponded to the Republic of China. At that time, the CCP had not yet established its regime; the main body of the Chinese government was the Republic of China.

Sheng Xue stated that the CCP is waging a propaganda war. Its very mention of the "enemy state clause" exposes its predicament, because conventional threats are no longer effective, and it is isolated and helpless in the international community. Therefore, it foolishly resorts to digging up old World War II archives.

Meanwhile, according to the latest polls, the Sanae Takaichi Cabinet's approval rating is as high as 72%.

Immediately after speaking with Xi Jinping, Trump called Sanae Takaichi to confirm close US-Japan cooperation

Following the recent phone call between the leaders of the U.S. and China regarding the situation in Taiwan, high-level interactions between the two countries have quickly resumed. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held her first telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump today (the 25th) since taking office, exchanging views on U.S.-China relations and regional security. This conversation, occurring amidst diplomatic tensions between Japan and China stemming from Takaichi's remarks regarding Taiwan, has garnered significant attention.

According to reports from Reuters and Japanese media, Takaichi told the media after the call that it was initiated by Trump's side. During the call, Trump briefed her on the latest developments in U.S.-China relations, including his conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping the previous evening. Takaichi emphasized that the two sides "reaffirmed the close cooperative relationship between Japan and the United States" during the call.

According to a report by Japan's Fuji News Network (FNN), Sanae Takaichi, in an interview at the Prime Minister's Official Residence this morning, explained that her call with Trump today was "an earlier phone conversation held at President Trump's request," and noted that the content broadly covered strengthening the Japan-US alliance and the situation and challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region.

Recently, Sanae Takaichi stated in the Diet that "if China takes military action against Taiwan, Japan will not rule out a military response," a statement that triggered a strong backlash from Beijing, which subsequently exerted pressure through measures such as restricting its citizens' travel to Japan and limiting imports of Japanese seafood, causing a rapid cooling of Sino-Japanese relations.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping, in his call with Trump on Monday (24 November 2025), elaborated on China's position, emphasizing that "Taiwan's return to China" is an important component of China's vision of the international order, and did not rule out the use of force. Trump was described by the Chinese side as "understanding the importance of the Taiwan issue to China."

However, the US's public statement released after the meeting made no mention of Taiwan, drawing significant attention from Japan. South Korean media pointed out that the differences in key messages between the US and China regarding Taiwan have made Japan even more concerned about Washington's true attitude at this sensitive time.

Trump later posted on the Truth Social platform, praising progress between the US and China on trade issues and revealing a possible visit to China next April, but again made no mention of Taiwan.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara stated that the stability of US-China relations is crucial to the international community, but he declined to comment on Xi Jinping's remarks to Trump regarding Taiwan.

A powerful push! Xi can't stop Sanae Takashi's "Advance"

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated, "If something happens to Taiwan, something happens to Japan," implying that war in Taiwan would constitute a crisis for Japan's survival and suggesting Japanese intervention. This statement crossed Beijing's red line, prompting Chinese retaliation. China suspended imports of Japanese seafood, halted negotiations on beef imports, issued travel and study warnings, and advised hundreds of thousands of its citizens against traveling to Japan. Subsequently, China conducted naval exercises in the Yellow Sea.

Several days later, Beijing remained firm. China's UN representative, Fu Cong, declared that if Japan dared to militarily intervene in the Taiwan Strait situation, China would invoke the so-called "old enemy state clause" in the UN Charter, granting it the right to take military action against Japan and other defeated nations of World War II. The intimidation continued to escalate.

This time, China strictly controlled its countermeasures, limiting them to official and state media actions to avoid a repeat of the anti-Japanese demonstrations that erupted in Chinese cities in 2012 following the Diaoyu Islands incident. That previous demonstration escalated into vandalism of Japanese cars and shops across the country, with people using U-locks to smash Japanese cars owned by their fellow citizens. The current situation in China is like a powder keg; mass demonstrations could easily turn into anti-CCP protests, a spark that could ignite a prairie fire. Beijing, hesitant to act rashly, is trying to control the anti-Japanese sentiment. While the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan has decreased, many still act as they please.

Many online commentators say that the CCP's three magic weapons of rule are: promoting hatred of Japanese aggression and American hegemony, using force to unify Taiwan, and suppressing capitalists. These three cards are used interchangeably and have proven consistently effective. From Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater in 2023, to retaliating against Lai Ching-te's remarks and conducting military exercises around Taiwan, to promoting the idea that the military unification of Taiwan is the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and to incite hatred of the US, all these tactics can be used to quickly shift the focus when the CCP faces difficulties and public discontent rises. The U.S.-China trade war and Beijing's actions against Taiwan have been repeatedly manipulated in this way, becoming a panacea for the CCP regime.

However, the consequences of playing these cards are that they scare away Taiwanese, Japanese, and Hong Kong businesses, and American and foreign businesses are also withdrawing, exacerbating the current large-scale factory closures and withdrawals by foreign investors. Severe unemployment is leading to a recession across all industries, and many people are returning to their hometowns seeking refuge. Now, the CCP has introduced a "crackdown on malicious returns to the countryside," fearing that unrest in rural areas will affect stability, and that the policy's backlash will harm its own economy and the livelihoods of its people.

While Beijing is boycotting Japan, it cannot ignore Japan's monopoly on the supply of photoresist and precision machine tools to China. Rumors suggest that China's photoresist inventory is only enough for seven weeks, and all 1,200 photoresist machines in China producing chips larger than 7 nanometers will be grounded without photoresist. Japan is already wary of China's 2012 rare earth embargo. If Sino-Japanese relations continue to deteriorate, it's difficult to say who is holding whom hostage and who is more afraid of boycotts.

The Economist magazine believes that since Xi Jinping came to power, he has continuously consolidated his leadership through nationalism, and now Beijing and Tokyo are like locked in a "game of chicken." Both Xi Jinping and Sanae Takaichi are proponents of nationalism and hawkish leaders. It's unexpected that the clashes between the Chinese and Japanese governments would occur so quickly, with these two nationalists leading the charge in their conflict.

Chinese Consul General in Osaka, Xue Jian, made a "decapitation" remark on social media, causing an international uproar. Subsequently, Masaaki Kanai, Director-General of the Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, went to Beijing for consultations. Liu Jinsong, Director-General of the Asian Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, displayed an arrogant and condescending attitude, insulting the Japanese representatives and clearly belittling Japan for "domestic consumption." However, Takaichi's statement garnered 48.8% support among Japanese citizens, while only 44.2% opposed it, and she has shown no intention of retracting her remarks.

Beijing claims it will go to war with Japan if necessary, ignoring the U.S.-Japan security treaty and the fact that Japan has over a hundred U.S. military bases of varying sizes. Does Beijing intend to wage war against the U.S.-Japan coalition simultaneously? Japan is aggressively developing its military, already possessing two quasi-aircraft carriers capable of carrying F-35B fighter jets. With U.S. support, Japan is gradually regaining its status as a military power in Asia and a "normal country," a situation that China will find difficult to prevent. This propaganda war between China and Japan should be brought to an end; otherwise, it will be detrimental to China's image as a peaceful major power, and the consequences could even lead to a lose-lose situation for both countries.

After finishing her conversation with Trump, Sanae Takaichi talks about Taiwan again, and she's even more audacious now!

—Sanae Takaichi: Statements regarding a potential crisis in Taiwan are entirely consistent with the Japanese government's unified stance

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated today (26 November 2025) during a discussion with the leaders of various political parties that her mention of "Taiwan in trouble" during her response to questions in the Diet Budget Committee was solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth running of the meeting, and that her explanation was entirely consistent with the unified view of the Japanese government, "without addition or subtraction."

Fuji News Network (FNN) reported earlier that Constitutional Democratic Party President Yoshihiko Noda again questioned Prime Minister Takaichi at today's meeting of party leaders regarding whether "Taiwan in trouble" constitutes a threat to Japan's survival.

In response, Sanae Takaichi stated, "Regarding the assessment of whether a situation constitutes a threat to Japan's survival, and what constitutes a threat to Japan's survival, the government will make a comprehensive judgment based on all information and the specific circumstances of the event. I have stated this repeatedly in my previous answers." She emphasized, "The unified view of the Japanese government is exactly as I stated in my previous answers, without additions or omissions."

Yoshihiko Noda dismissed the strong backlash from China regarding Takaichi's response in the Budget Committee. Takaichi pointed out, "The questioner limited the question to an emergency situation of 'Taiwan in distress' and mentioned the blockade of sea lanes," explaining, "I also don't want to mention any specific details, but because this is the Budget Committee, simply repeating the government's previous answers could lead to the meeting being interrupted."

When Takaichi said that "the Budget Committee might be interrupted," opposition lawmakers present murmured their doubts.

Noda also inquired whether Prime Minister Takaichi's response would lead to a deterioration in Japan-China relations. In response, Takaichi stated, "At the summit, we reaffirmed our commitment to building a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship based on shared strategic interests, and to establishing a stable and constructive relationship. We also confirmed that any concerns or issues arising between the two sides will be resolved through communication between leaders."

Did speaking out for Yu Menglong cause trouble? Lin Beichuan disappeared after being taken to "Sunshine East"; latest whereabouts revealed

Lin Beichuan, a blogger known as the "Red Descendant" who has repeatedly spoken out in support of Yu Menglong, was allegedly recalled to Beijing twice last month after revealing a key figure in his story. A month has passed since then. On the 2nd, he posted that he had been taken to the Yangguang Shangdong residential area and then disappeared. On the 19th, "Beixing Qiye," claiming to be Lin Beichuan's childhood friend, released screenshots of their latest private messages after a two-week hiatus, indicating that he had been recalled to the military for a second enlistment. He also addressed the public, saying that if Lin Beichuan hadn't reported his safety by 2026, there was no need to wait any longer, "Let's continue with the main story."

The cause of Yu Menglong's death remains shrouded in mystery. A blogger claiming to be a retired soldier and a descendant of a "red" (a term referring to descendants of high-ranking officials) has continued to speak out about the matter. However, after seemingly revealing a key figure on the 25 October, he was recalled to Beijing for the second time and his whereabouts became unknown. Initially, he was still able to post, but on the 2nd, he stated that he was taken to the Yangguang Shangdong ("Sunshine East") residential area and then disappeared. Later, on 4 November 2025, a person claiming to be Lin Beichuan's childhood friend, "Beixing Qiye" ("Kitayuki") released private messages from Lin Beichuan, stating that he had been collectively reported by the suspects and was told not to message him. Since then, there has been no further news of Lin Beichuan, and his true situation remains unknown.

However, on 19 November 2025, after a two-week hiatus, Kitayuki released screenshots of his latest private messages with Lin Beichuan. Late on18 November 2025, Lin Beichuan told him he had been recalled to the military, saying, "I am willing to be recalled, and I want to be recalled. I have already signed the papers. My family doesn't want me to go back; they know that if I go back this time, they will never see me again." However, Lin Beichuan emphasized, "But I want to go back. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to find my family, I want to find my father and mother." Afterwards, Kitayuki stated that Lin Beichuan's parents had passed away. "I once thought they would leave some way out for the descendants who sacrificed generations for the people, but later I realized that this became the reason why no one supported him and he was bullied." He added that the unit he served in was very dangerous, with the highest casualty rate. Therefore, Kitayuki also appealed to the public that if Lin Beichuan did not report back safely by 2026, there was no need to wait any longer, "we'll continue with the main story."

On 19 November 2025, Kitayuki, who claimed to be Lin Beichuan's childhood friend, released screenshots of Beichuan's latest private messages with him after a two-week hiatus, indicating that he had been recalled to the military and was re-enlisting. (Image: Screenshot from the internet)

Subsequently, on the 4th, Kitayuki, who claimed to be Lin Beichuan's childhood friend, released Beichuan's private messages, stating that because he was collectively reported by suspects, he appealed to everyone not to message him privately. (Image: Screenshot from the internet)
