Several Japanese organizations have requested to visit China in the near future in an effort to ease bilateral relations amid escalating tensions over Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent remarks on Taiwan. The Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians' Union conveyed a request to visit China before the end of 2025, emphasizing the importance of continuing exchanges. The Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) also requested that China accept an economic delegation in January 2026.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded at a press conference on Tuesday, urging Japan to "stop harming the sentiments of the two peoples, take practical steps to honor its political commitments to China, and create necessary conditions for the normal exchanges between the two countries."
