Yes, but the overall impact to Japan would be greater. Both countries have similar exports as part of GDP% at ~ 20%, with Japan being slightly higher. But China comprises 19% of Japan's total exports whereas Japan comprises 4.3% of China's total exports. Also, where will Japan find a better price-to-quality point compared to imports from China? If they try to retaliate too hard, it would just exacerbate their now very precarious cost of living crisis. Chinese reduction of Japanese imports might mean a reduction in quality and/or technology level when trying to source from local vendors, but make no mistake, whatever Japan can make, China can also make, even if at lowered capability. This is also a gap that is diminishing by the day. The only possible sector that Japan still has a sizable edge in is advanced materials. Hopefully there is some domestic plan in China to tackle this.

China is Wal-mart, Japan is a regional boutique chain. Wal-mart always wins in the end. There is no replacement for scale.

What type of advanced materials do they make in Japan?

That's nothing, I say China demand Japan demonstrate it has no intention of every invading China by cutting it's defence spending by 75% and dismantling 90% of it's navy.

A 90% cut to navy can be interpreted in a lot of ways, just say limit to 10 ships that can not exceed 5 tons.

Actually I changed my mind. I hope japan dig themselves into such a big hole, in 2027 we will be celebrating Taiwan liberation day and the 5-6 new provinces in former Japan liberation day.

The really funny thing is MFA spokesperson actually answered it like this:

Basically:
"No Li Qiang has no plan to meet Japanese leadership at G20. And for even suggesting that was a possibility we recommend Japan have a sense of shame."

I think a more accurate translation would be "you should take care of yourself", which is generally used to imply something bad is about to happen to them.

Yeah, China is actually pissed for once in a way not seen before. Hopefully before they go completely ham on those Japs that they do what they can to make sure the USA doesn’t interfere like they always do and for the stupidity of allowing the Japanese to make this stupid decision to actually screw them up this time that actually makes Trump go to the hospital from shock. Seriously they have been mucking around long enough

I think the closest is "have some respect for yourself", like if a destitute woman is thinking of selling her body you say that to her. That's why it's all the funnier with Takaichi because she's known to do this with heads of states at international events:

Subianto looks like Tang Sanzang there asking a yaoguai not to hurt him.
I don't think Li Qiang would appreciate her sliding up like that at G20 or trying to corner him in the hallway.
