What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Following controversial remarks by Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan, bilateral ties between China and Japan have deteriorated, leading to government advisories against travel to Japan. This tension has resulted in a sharp decline in visitor arrivals from the Chinese mainland to Japan, which fell 59.0 percent year-on-year in August. Simultaneously, China's trade limits have caused Japanese imports of rare earth magnets to fall 17.1 percent in August.
