——Collaborating with South Korea, confronting Japan
Just after hosting South Korea at a high level, China has swiftly implemented a major measure against Japan: officially issuing an export ban on dual-use items. This ban covers a scope far exceeding rare earths, delivering a precise and devastating blow to Japan's industrial system.
Going forward, China and South Korea will embark on a deep cooperation model characterized by division of labor and complementary strengths, fully advancing the process of replacing Japanese products in the market. In the future, Japanese products will become increasingly rare in the Chinese market. Notably, India's GDP has officially surpassed Japan's as of 2025, further worsening Japan's economic situation.
Currently, Japan's economic output has dropped to fifth globally. In 2026, one of our core goals will be to continuously shrink Japan's economic development space, pushing it from the developed nations group back into the developing countries category.
Chinese automakers must seize the momentum and push even harder, aiming to fully surpass and replace Japan's automotive industry in the market by 2026. In short, 2026 will be a pivotal year for China's industries to fully mobilize and collectively reshape Japan's economic landscape!
