Group 1 - The core issue is Japan's decision to consider imposing a 10% tax on small packages from China, which is seen as a provocative move amid ongoing U.S. pressure [2][4][5] - Japan's shift towards taxing Chinese goods comes as a surprise, as many expected it to align with China against U.S. demands [2][5] - The backdrop of this decision includes the increasing competition from Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu, which have posed significant challenges to U.S. and European markets [4][5] Group 2 - Japan's automotive industry, including brands like Toyota and Nissan, still holds a significant market share in China, approximately 14%, despite facing challenges from local competitors [7] - The potential for Japan to face retaliatory tariffs from China is raised, especially if Japan continues to impose taxes on Chinese goods while the U.S. has already increased tariffs on Japanese automobiles [9][11] - Japan's current economic strategy must focus on stabilizing its domestic economy and avoiding further pressure from the U.S., rather than hastily taxing Chinese imports [15][11]
