including China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, and Air China &#8211; offered refunds for flights to Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Takaichi said in the Japanese parliament on 7 November: &#8220;If there are battleships and the use of force, no matter how you think about it, it could constitute a survival-threatening situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">A &#8220;survival-threatening situation&#8221; is a legal term under Japan&#8217;s 2015 security law, referring to when an armed attack on its allies presents an existential threat to Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">In such a situation, Japan&#8217;s self-defence forces can be called upon to respond to the threat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Taiwan lies around 100km (60 miles) south of the closest Japanese island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">Beijing sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will, eventually, be part of the country, and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 eZyhnA\">But many Taiwanese consider themselves to be part of a separate nation &#8211; although most are in favour of maintaining the status quo where Taiwan neither declares independence from China nor unites with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Japan #tourism #retail #stocks #slide #China #row<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese tourism and retail stocks fell on Monday after China warned its citizens not to travel to the country as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42039,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42037\/revisions\/42039"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
