Fifty delegates had been expected, but only Japan and South Korea will now attend, with both planning to increase their numbers. The withdrawal follows heightened tensions after Prime Minister Takaichi\u2019s remarks in the Diet about a potential Taiwan-related contingency, which led China to advise its citizens against traveling to Japan. Kitakyushu Mayor Kazuhisa Takeuchi said it was regrettable to lose a cultural exchange opportunity but emphasized the need for calm and constructive engagement. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/articles\/20251127\/k00\/00m\/030\/270000c\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\u201c_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainichi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174542\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-aim_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"China Withdraws From TV Producers\u2019 Forum in Kitakyushu\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-aim_2025_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-aim_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-aim_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fnn_kitakyushu-aim_2025_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
