Reported by AI Image generated by AI
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently made gravely erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question, drawing widespread international criticism. Experts argue that these statements are not accidental but an inevitable outcome of Japan's long-term rightward political shift, warning of risks to regional peace and a potential revival of militarism.
Sanae Takaichi, as LDP president, has formed a new minority coalition government with the Japan Innovation Party. Following the end of the long-standing LDP-Komeito alliance, her administration pledges policies like reducing gasoline tax and Diet seats. Japanese political history highlights challenges in maintaining stability for such governments.
