25.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Beijing Restricted Tourism to Japan
⌹On December 25, Japanese editorial priority shifted from the mourning of Jumbo Ozaki toward an escalating diplomatic and economic confrontation with China. Morning headlines focused on the Takaichi administration's strategic pivot toward a March summit with President Trump, but this was quickly overshadowed by reports that Beijing had instructed travel agencies to reduce Japan-bound tourism by up to 60%. Editors across Kyodo, Sankei, and Yahoo linked this move to Chinese retaliation against Prime Minister Takaichi’s recent parliamentary statements on Taiwan and the Second Island Chain.
By early afternoon, domestic coverage converged on systemic failures within Japanese institutions. Media outlets highlighted the arrest of a police officer for vandalizing a historic statue in Nagoya and the search of a Tokyo sauna following a fatal entrapment. These reports were balanced against deepening labor concerns, specifically the record-low teacher recruitment numbers and reports of harassment of non-regular staff at public employment offices.
