China, Japan, and South Korea recently held their first economic meeting in five years, aiming to boost trade ties and protect their economies amid pressure from U.S. tariffs. A Chinese state media-linked social media post claimed that the three nations had agreed to work together in response to the U.S. trade measures. However, South Korea said this statement was “somewhat exaggerated,” and Japan outright denied that any such agreement was made.
The post, shared by the Weibo account “Yuyuan Tantian” associated with China Central Television, also mentioned that Japan and South Korea are looking to source semiconductor raw materials from China. In return, China is interested in buying chip products from both countries. The three nations reportedly agreed to cooperate more on supply chains and hold further talks on export controls, although the exact nature of these discussions remains unclear.
