China's hardline actions toward Japan since 2025 have backfired, strengthening regional alliances and prompting calls for diplomatic restraint.
A 2026 report titled "Japan Forward" labels China’s recent policy toward Japan a "strategic blunder," citing a shift from managed rivalry to sustained coercion since late 2025.
It notes over 356 days of daily Chinese coast guard activity near the disputed Senkaku Islands in 2025, hardened rhetoric, rejection of crisis management, and economic pressure on Japanese firms.
The report argues this approach has backfired, deepening regional security ties across East and Southeast Asia, misreading Japan as a U.S. proxy rather than an independent actor, and fueling opposition to China’s conduct rather than its power.
It urges a move toward restraint, predictability, and competitive coexistence.
Las acciones de línea dura de China hacia Japón desde 2025 se han vuelto contraproducentes, fortaleciendo las alianzas regionales y provocando llamados a la moderación diplomática.
