November 26, 2025: Lars Vargö, Head of the Stockholm Korea Center, was interviewed by Firstpost on China-Japan Tensions.
“Tensions have escalated between Tokyo and Beijing after the new Japanese premier suggested military intervention in response to a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan. China has responded by curbing tourism to Japan and cutting off seafood imports. Will tensions escalate further? Will Japan’s allies, like the US, get dragged in? Sweden’s former ambassador to Japan, Dr Lars Vargo, answers in conversation with Firstpost’s Prathik S Vinod.”
