Is he a real diplomat? Or a gangster? Chinese Consul General in Osaka: “That filthy neck must be beheaded” — Posting on Prime Minister Takaichi's response regarding a Taiwan contingency---It appears he cowardly fled the country, before the Japanese government would call me a persona non grata
Chinese Consul General Xue Jian in Osaka
On November 9, Sankei Shimbun's website reported that Chinese Consul General Xue Jian in Osaka posted his remarks on X (formerly Twitter) by quoting Asahi Shimbun Digital Breaking News on the previous day titled “Prime Minister Takaichi: Taiwan Contingency ‘Could Become a Crisis of Existence’ - Use of Force Possible if Recognized” writing: “That filthy neck that dared intrude will be severed without a moment's hesitation. Are you prepared?”

As of 7:30 PM on the 9th, Mr. Xue Jian's post could no longer be verified. Sankei Shimbun attempted to contact the Osaka Consulate General to confirm the facts and intent but was unable to reach them.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated at the House of Representatives Budget Committee on the 7th regarding issues surrounding Taiwan, “Our traditional position is to expect a peaceful resolution.” She added, “What constitutes a ‘crisis of national survival’ (enabling the exercise of collective self-defense) must be comprehensively judged based on each specific situation.”
She further pointed out, “It is conceivable that China could impose a naval blockade using warships, and that the U.S. military might come to the aid of Taiwan to lift such a blockade, leading to the use of force to prevent that.” She stated, “It is extremely important to anticipate every possible worst-case scenario. If it involves the use of force by warships, I believe it could undoubtedly constitute a situation threatening Japan's survival.”
“To avoid national annihilation”
On the 9th, Xue Jian updated his X account, posting: “‘Taiwan emergency is Japan's emergency’ is a path to death chosen by some foolish Japanese politicians.” He argued, “It is an excessively reckless attempt that disregards the obligations of a defeated nation and completely forgets the former enemy state provisions of the UN Charter.”
He further stated, “I earnestly hope they regain at least a minimum of rationality and respect for the law, so that they never again suffer a national catastrophe like defeat.”
