In recent years, Japan has repeatedly spoken out on Taiwan Strait issues, which Beijing perceives as hyping the notion that "a Taiwan issue is a Japan issue," playing the "Taiwan card." In response, Beijing plans to counter with the "Ryukyu card." Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily reported that Dalian Maritime University will establish the first Ryukyu Research Center. The article suggests that Beijing might use the non-recognition of Okinawa as Japanese territory as a countermeasure, tit for tat.

賴總統在節目專訪表示，中國大陸想拿下台灣並非為了領土完整，而是想成為能改變世界秩序的霸權，否則為何不收回當年被俄羅斯侵占的領土？ 中方沒有回應；但羅斯外交部發表聲明反駁，稱俄中於2000年代簽署條約已解決邊界問題，台灣當局無權代表北京發言，更直斥賴發言為狗吠。 September 3:
In a program interview, President Lai stated that China wants to take over Taiwan not for territorial integrity but to become a hegemon capable of changing the world order.
