Condemning the coercive actions of the People's Republic of China against Japan in response to statements regarding Taiwan and reaffirming the United States commitment to its allies in the Indo-Pacific region.

This resolution condemns the People's Republic of China's (PRC) coercive actions against Japan, which were initiated in response to Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks concerning Taiwan's security. Takaichi's statement suggested that a PRC naval blockade of Taiwan could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, triggering a series of retaliatory measures from Beijing. These actions include diplomatic pressure, economic coercion, and various forms of military intimidation. The PRC's coercive tactics involved a threatening social media post from its Consul General, official condemnations from its Foreign Ministry, and significant military provocations such as a guided missile destroyer sailing through the Osumi Strait, China Coast Guard patrols near the Senkaku Islands, and J-15 fighter jets locking radar on Japanese F-15s. Economically, China issued a travel advisory against Japan, leading to substantial flight cancellations and an estimated $1.2 billion loss for Japan's tourism sector, and reimposed a complete ban on Japanese seafood imports. The resolution calls upon the PRC to cease these actions and engage in constructive dialogue. The resolution emphatically reaffirms the United States' ironclad commitment to its alliance with Japan under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security. It supports Japan's sovereign right to express its foreign policy positions without fear of economic or military coercion, recognizing the shared interest of both nations in maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Furthermore, it urges the U.S. President to collaborate with Indo-Pacific allies to counter coercive practices and commits to strengthening regional cooperation to deter aggression and maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific.
