[People News] Sanae Takaichi is destined to bring the world a different Japan, a new Japan. The CCP has completely lost its composure. In its frantic haste, it pulled off a once-in-a-century diplomatic scandal, something truly unprecedented.

Chinese diplomat issues death threat against Japanese Prime Minister – world in uproar  

On the night of November 8, China’s Consul General in Osaka, Xue Jian, responded on the X platform to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s statement that “a Taiwan contingency is a Japanese contingency” with a terrorist-style comment:  
“Any filthy neck that dares to stick itself in will be chopped off without hesitation. Are you ready?”  
He attached an angry emoji.

The post was immediately interpreted as a death threat against Prime Minister Takaichi, triggering a global tsunami of condemnation. Xue Jian deleted the post on the evening of the 9th, but screenshots had already spread widely, with over 800,000 reposts. Xue then posted again, calling the phrase “a Taiwan contingency is a Japanese contingency” “the path of death chosen by a foolish politician.”

Japan’s reaction across ruling and opposition parties and among the public was extremely strong.

On November 9, Japan’s Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau Director-General Kanai Yu lodged a “strong protest” through diplomatic channels, demanding immediate deletion of the post. Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara Minoru said at a press conference on the 10th that Xue Jian’s remarks were “extremely inappropriate.” The Japanese Embassy in China also protested simultaneously.  
Diet member Matsubara Jin and Kobe city councillor Uehata Hirohiro said Xue’s remarks not only interfered in Japan’s internal affairs but were tantamount to a declaration of war. Opposition parties (Constitutional Democratic Party, Democratic Party for the People, and Komeito) unanimously called for tough measures against China. LDP policy chief Kobayashi Takayuki urged the government on the 11th to expel Xue Jian if Beijing does not take steps to de-escalate, and main opposition leader Izumi Kenta also called for his swift expulsion.  

Japanese citizens were furious to the extreme, slamming Xue’s words as “interpretable as a murder announcement against Prime Minister Takaichi – utterly malicious in nature.”

Xue Jian’s remarks not only shocked Japan but also recalibrated global perception. With textbook-level terrorist rhetoric unprecedented in the history of human diplomacy, Xue gave the world a vivid lesson in recognizing the true nature of the CCP, allowing the entire planet to deeply understand what the “China threat” really is and what CCP hegemony and wolf-warrior diplomacy truly mean.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan George Glass also posted on X, stating that Xue Jian’s words constituted a threat to Prime Minister Takaichi and the Japanese people, and wrote: “The mask slips again.”

Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Hsiao Kuang-wei said the Chinese wolf-warrior behaviour highlights an arrogant hegemonic mindset and only damages the country’s image. Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung said at a press conference on the 12th that Xue Jian’s remarks could incite anti-Japanese sentiment among Chinese citizens and must be taken seriously.  
Australian activist Drew Pavlou translated Xue’s post on X and called for his expulsion, receiving hundreds of thousands of interactions.

Japanese, American, Taiwanese, and European media unanimously described Xue Jian’s remarks as “violent threats” that violate the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

The CCP’s response was to play dumb while fully understanding the situation, using evasive tactics and changing the subject. CCP Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian dodged the core issue of Xue’s decapitation threat and tactically accused Prime Minister Takaichi of interfering in China’s internal affairs instead.

On November 10, Takaichi Sanae reiterated in the Diet that her statement “conforms to the government’s established position” and she has no intention of retracting it.

Xue Jian: Xi Jinping’s Wolf-Warrior Diplomacy Chamber Pot  

Xue Jian, 57, joined the CCP Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Asian Department in 1992 and later served as deputy director-general of the department. He has been Consul General in Osaka (with ambassadorial rank) since November 2021. He is known for posting aggressive and provocative statements on social media and has been labelled a “wolf-warrior ambassador” by international media and public opinion.

In a January 2022 interview with the overseas edition of People’s Daily Japan Monthly, Xue Jian said:  
“I don’t think I am a wolf-warrior diplomat… We Chinese diplomats are not wolves; we are diplomats who fight against wolves.”  
His sophistry perfectly embodies the CCP’s “wolf-warrior diplomacy” style: “dare to draw the sword, skilled at struggle,” resorting to fallacious reasoning, aggressive posturing, and turning the tables on others.

Xue Jian’s wolf-warrior behaviour has a long history, mainly characterised by anti-American and anti-Japanese themes:  
- August 2021: posted a satirical cartoon mocking the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan  
- September 2021: responded to Japanese Diet member Matsubara Jin’s Taiwan-related remarks by saying “Taiwan independence = war. China has absolutely no room for compromise on this”  
- October 2021: openly called on Japanese voters to support pro-China parties, accused of election interference  
- June 2025: compared Israel to “Nazi Germany,” posting that Israel was “re-enacting the Holocaust” in its conflict with Iran

Although Xue Jian has long been known as a wolf-warrior diplomat, this “decapitation-gate” terrorist rhetoric incident still stunned the world – truly a case of the wolf warrior setting out and leaving not a blade of grass behind.

How could such a remark, completely breaching the bottom line of diplomacy, come out of the mouth of a major country’s diplomat? What political signal does it send? Does it reflect what kind of political calculations by the CCP? Was Xue Jian’s extreme wolf-warrior rhetoric merely personal expression, or was it covertly authorised by the regime with unspeakable strategic considerations?

The CCP is extremely adept at grey-zone operations and ambiguous escalation. This salami-slicing tactic often achieves strategic benefits that full-scale operations cannot, avoiding risk while achieving the goal of attacking the opponent, gaining maximum strategic benefit at minimal cost – able to advance or retreat as needed.

Xue Jian’s decapitation-gate outburst generally belongs to the CCP’s grey-zone public-opinion warfare model. The CCP used him to conduct a lone-wolf fire assault and test-the-waters against Takaichi Sanae. If Japan and the outside world reacted slowly or weakly, the CCP official apparatus would immediately follow up en masse. If the reaction was strong, sacrificing one Ambassador Xue is nothing at all – which of the wolf warriors like Lu Shaye or Zhao Lijian isn’t just the emperor’s chamber pot? And CCP bureaucrats deeply understand officialdom philosophy: they are skilled at guessing the boss’s intentions and catering to the master’s needs. Perhaps without explicit orders, just a glance or a cough from the master is enough for the wolf warriors to bare their fangs and pounce on the prey.

Takaichi Sanae Reshapes Japan’s Glory – Displays Crystal-Clear Taiwan Strait Strategy – CCP Completely Loses Composure  

Xi Jinping thought the CCP already strode unchallenged across the Indo-Pacific, with no one daring to look it in the eye. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe only said “a Taiwan contingency is a Japanese contingency” after stepping down, and in recent years Japan has appeared relatively obedient, allowing the CCP to manipulate it at will: the Fukushima water controversy, arresting Japanese “spies,” killing Japanese students, Chinese carriers entering Japan’s EEZ, massive domestic incitement of anti-Japanese sentiment – yet the Japanese government never showed any strong reaction.

But Takaichi Sanae’s rise to power caused the CCP to lose its mind in minutes; its diplomatic endocrine system went into chaos. After taking office, Takaichi delivered a series of combination punches that left the Xi regime reeling.

First, on October 28, Takaichi Sanae held a Japan–U.S. summit with Trump in Tokyo, forging a golden era for the Japan–U.S. alliance. She not only promised Trump to raise defence spending to 2% of GDP but also signed a rare-earth framework agreement with the United States – clearly aimed at the CCP.

Second, on October 31, when meeting Xi Jinping, this iron lady gave him no face at all, directly listing the CCP’s eight major crimes in person, expressing concern over Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang issues, and then high-profilely met Taiwan representative Lin Hsin-i right afterward – deliberately poking Xi where it hurts most, leaving him fuming yet unable to lash out.

Third, on November 7, when questioned in the House of Representatives, Takaichi stated that if a “Taiwan contingency” involves the use of force by the other side, it could constitute a “situation threatening Japan’s survival” under Japan’s security legislation, meaning Japan could exercise the right of collective self-defence – in plain language: if the CCP attacks Taiwan, Japan will intervene. Prime Minister Takaichi displayed crystal-clear strategic clarity on the Taiwan Strait to the CCP, warning it not to act rashly and raising the decision threshold for the CCP’s military unification of Taiwan. This is the rhythm of changing the Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape; Japan is about to rise again – and that’s not all.

Fourth, according to AFP reporting on November 11, Prime Minister Takaichi will announce in late November a 2026 investment plan focusing on 17 priority areas including artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, and shipbuilding, with a possible scale exceeding 10 trillion yen, to boost the world’s fourth-largest economy. She also plans investment in defence, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, space, cybersecurity, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, etc. These core manufacturing industries involve technology and national defence – isn’t this “Made in Japan 2025”? This is a direct challenge to the CCP, launching technological and military competition. Prime Minister Takaichi wants to restore Japan’s former glory and lead Japan’s resurgence. How could the CCP possibly sleep at night?

The CCP instantly lost its mind. Xi Jinping urgently needed to pee, so Xue Jian offered himself as tribute to his master – but he overdid it and ended up punching himself in the face with the Seven-Injuries Fist.

Ambassador Xue created the biggest scandal and farce in CCP diplomatic history. The matter blew up so much that the CCP simply stopped pretending and jumped into the fray bare-chested.

CCP’s calamity TV (CCTV) published a commentary on November 11 threatening that “Japan’s attempt to meddle in the Taiwan issue and tie itself to the chariot of splitting China will surely reap what it sows!”

The CCTV-affiliated social media account “Yuyuan Tantian” posted that Takaichi had turned into a “troublemaker,” even advising “troublemaker” Sanae not to “spew feces from her mouth” and asking “Has a donkey kicked her in the head?”

The CCP switched to fishwife-street-cursing and thug-cannon mode. Netizens were cracking up – it’s not that Takaichi is “making trouble,” it’s that Sanae is “being disobedient,” refusing to give Xi Jinping any face at all. With just a few words, she shattered the CCP’s glass heart into pieces all over the ground.
