Takaichi, Japan's prime minister since late 2025, and Xi Jinping held their first bilateral summit on the sidelines of the October 2025 APEC meeting in South Korea, where they reaffirmed pursuit of a “mutually beneficial strategic relationship” and “constructive, stable ties” while addressing maritime issues, rare earth controls, and crisis management. Relations have since faced friction from Takaichi’s emphasis on defense spending and statements linking a Taiwan contingency to Japan’s security, prompting Chinese criticism during Xi’s May 2026 talks with U.S. officials and selective economic pressures. Both capitals continue low-level diplomatic signaling, including August 2026 condolence exchanges, amid preparations for China-hosted APEC in Shenzhen in November 2026, which traders view as the next plausible window for a leader-level encounter given historical patterns of summit diplomacy at multilateral forums.
