China halts two Japanese films over tensions after Japan’s PM hints at military response to Taiwan conflict.

China has paused the release of at least two Japanese films, including Crayon Shin-chan and Cells at Work!, citing declining public sentiment after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested Japan might respond militarily to a Chinese attack on Taiwan. The move follows heightened diplomatic tensions, with China urging citizens to avoid traveling to Japan and postponing a planned meeting between Takaichi and Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the G20 summit. Japan has issued a travel advisory for its citizens in China, advising caution amid rising regional tensions over Taiwan and disputed islands.
