Tensions in Japan-China relations, rooted in Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s comments on Taiwan and defense policy, continue to limit prospects for a bilateral meeting with Xi Jinping. Strained ties have produced concrete steps such as canceled flights and reduced tourism since late 2025, alongside Xi’s reported criticism of Japan’s increased defense spending during his May 2026 summit with U.S. President Trump. The next major opportunity is the November 2026 APEC summit hosted in China, where both leaders are expected to attend, yet reporting indicates a formal bilateral encounter remains unlikely given the current diplomatic impasse. Trader consensus reflected in market pricing therefore incorporates these persistent frictions and the absence of scheduled high-level engagement through the remainder of the year.
