Russia has screened a Soviet-era film called 'Smashing Militarist Japan' in Taipei, raising concerns in Taiwan that Russia is supporting China's 'new militarism' line against Japan.

The film screening, which was attended by a small audience in Taipei, has sparked alarm in Taiwan.

Taipei believes that by showing the film, Russia is helping China push its 'new militarism' line against Japan.

## Why it matters The screening of the film has significant implications, as it suggests that Russia may be backing China's aggressive stance against Japan. This could have far-reaching consequences for the region, potentially escalating tensions between China and Japan.
