China escalates diplomatic row with Japan by raising Taiwan issue at UN

China has taken its dispute with Japan over Taiwan to the United Nations, arguing that Tokyo’s recent comments challenge Beijing’s territorial claims. Chinese officials stated that the country would firmly defend its position while urging Japan to avoid actions that could heighten regional tensions. The move adds another layer to East Asia’s sensitive geopolitical landscape as global stakeholders track how cross-strait dynamics and Japan–China relations evolve in the coming weeks.
