A new Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army clip titled 'Every Day Is a Day of Training' is circulating online โ€” after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's claim that a potential Chinaโ€“Taiwan conflict could pose an "existential threat" to Japan.

๐Ÿ”ธ Chinese Premier Li Qiang will not meet Takaiichi at the G20 summit
