NHK is facing backlash after an employee referred to the contested Senkaku Islands as Chinese territory during a live broadcast, prompting an official apology.
The comment came during a news segment, immediately after discussing anti-Japanese graffiti at Yasukuni Shrine, stirring controversy on long-standing territorial tensions.
NHK acknowledged the statement was inappropriate and vowed to take measures to prevent similar incidents, reiterating its commitment to official Japanese positions on territorial disputes.
The incident highlights the sensitive nature of the islands, which are administered by Japan but claimed by China, underscoring the deep-rooted tensions in the region.
