Japan urged China to continue dialogue after China warned its citizens against visiting Japan, citing safety concerns after remarks about Taiwan. Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said Japan conveyed a message to China and strongly requested appropriate actions while emphasizing the need for multilayered communication because differences remain. China’s embassy said recent Japanese leaders’ comments on Taiwan severely damaged people-to-people exchanges and posed significant risks to Chinese citizens in Japan. Three Chinese carriers offered full refunds or free itinerary changes through December 31.
