**Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi last met on the sidelines of the October 2025 APEC summit in South Korea, where they reaffirmed a “mutually beneficial strategic relationship” and “constructive and stable ties” while noting differences on security and trade issues.** Since then, bilateral relations have deteriorated sharply after Takaichi’s November 2025 parliamentary remarks linking a potential Chinese action against Taiwan to Japan’s right of collective self-defense, prompting Beijing to impose export controls on rare earths and dual-use goods, restrict tourism, and issue diplomatic protests. As of late August 2026, a cross-party Japanese lawmakers’ delegation visited Beijing in an effort to restore communication but made little headway; Chinese officials reiterated that Japan’s position on Taiwan remains the core obstacle. Scheduled multilateral opportunities, including China’s hosting of APEC in Shenzhen in November 2026, and additional Japanese delegations planned for September and later in the year, represent the main near-term channels that could facilitate another leader-level encounter. Ongoing economic frictions and security concerns continue to shape the timeline for any renewed summit.
