Gao Shi Zao Miao has really caused a big trouble this time, being put in the spotlight. Not only is China demanding an explanation from her, but the Japanese domestic public is also criticizing her even more harshly. Especially those who are considered to be "most pro-China", such as Yukio Hatoyama, gave a very sharp evaluation of Gao Shi Zao Miao.

(Gao Shi Zao Miao dared to provoke China, which indicates that the overall atmosphere in Japan is problematic.)

Recently, Gao Shi Zao Miao has been causing trouble with her words, due to a statement "use of force regarding Taiwan", not only did it lead to severe warnings from multiple Chinese departments, but she also became the center of attention and the target of public criticism in Japan.

The first one to publicly criticize Gao Shi Zao Miao was the former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, who wrote several articles in a row to condemn her for interfering in China's internal affairs.

On the 11th, Yukio Hatoyama again spoke about this in a program, saying "The smaller the dog, the more it barks," obviously comparing Gao Shi Zao Miao to a dog, and her speech was "barking."

Yukio Hatoyama said: The smaller the dog, the more it barks, the louder it barks, the more it gives people the impression of being strong, and the more expectations it creates, but it is ultimately not a big dog.

Yukio Hatoyama added: It seems that Japanese society now tends to favor those who bark loudly. Gao Shi Zao Miao was elected as the Japanese Prime Minister under such circumstances.

It must be said that Yukio Hatoyama's metaphor is very vivid, comparing Gao Shi Zao Miao to a "small dog," and her remarks on the Taiwan Strait and her tough statements towards China are all loud barks, just to show her so-called "strength" to the outside world.

Gao Shi Zao Miao's actions are closely related to her political career.

On the 12th, Yuyan Tan exposed Gao Shi Zao Miao, mentioning some key events in her political career.

First, Gao Shi Zao Miao has always been helping Abe with dirty work and things that Abe couldn't do directly.

For example, in 2007, Gao Shi Zao Miao was the only minister in Abe's cabinet who visited Yasukuni Shrine on the memorial day, thereby relieving Abe.

Gao Shi Zao Miao gained the support of right-wing forces in Japan through this act, beginning her political accumulation.

Second, Gao Shi Zao Miao successfully got elected by New Komeito and the Buddhist Party, but within a month, she turned to the opposition Liberal Democratic Party.

People who once worked with Gao Shi Zao Miao mentioned that she never cares about gratitude to achieve her goals, meaning she is ungrateful.

Additionally, in the Japanese political arena, Gao Shi Zao Miao does not have her own faction. She previously supported Abe's leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party, successfully entering the core circle of Abe's government, and becoming an important member of Abe's faction.

However, after Abe died, she gradually distanced herself from Abe's faction, and later joined the Asō faction, relying on the support of the Asō faction to become the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, and now she is the new Prime Minister of Japan.

It can be seen that for Gao Shi Zao Miao, nothing is too much to sell for political opportunism. She has always been calculating and has no principles.

Gao Shi Zao Miao's path to power has always involved doing these things, rising to power through "anti-China" and a tough stance towards China. Naturally, she will rely on this path after taking office.

Gao Shi Zao Miao doesn't have her own base, so she can only magnify her voice to show her "strength." Therefore, it's not surprising that she dared to say these things after coming to power.

Naturally, Yukio Hatoyama's comments are not just scolding Gao Shi Zao Miao. After all, a person like Gao Shi Zao Miao, who is so abnormal, being elected as the Prime Minister indicates problems with the current Japanese social atmosphere.

A sentence "now Japanese society seems to tend to favor those who bark loudly" indicates that the right-wing atmosphere is rampant in Japanese society, hence why they chose Gao Shi Zao Miao, a radical right-winger, to be the prime minister.

Now, it's not just Gao Shi Zao Miao barking; it's a group of dogs barking. This is an abnormal situation.

As the Japanese Prime Minister, Gao Shi Zao Miao should be the one to slow down, but instead, she barks the loudest, which is even more abnormal.

Japan, as a defeated country in World War II, has its extreme right-wing politicians constantly shouting about starting a war with the victorious countries. Even the Prime Minister is like this, which clearly shows that Japan is heading down a dangerous path.

Our current military strength naturally means we don't have to worry about losing a war with Japan, but having such an unstable neighbor nearby undoubtedly brings great security risks to us.

Therefore, for us, we cannot easily let Gao Shi Zao Miao off the hook, and we must make her pay a price, making the Japanese right-wing forces remember their lessons; at the same time, appropriately demonstrating our powerful strength, making Japanese right-wing politicians understand that if a Sino-Japanese war breaks out, it might be a war of national annihilation for Japan.

For Gao Shi Zao Miao's provocative actions, we must clearly recognize that it is not just her personal political opportunism, but also a dangerous signal of the rightward shift of Japanese society.

From her visit to Yasukuni Shrine to her recent "use of force regarding Taiwan" remarks, this political path has always been based on distorting historical truth and challenging China's core interests.

As Yukio Hatoyama warned, this kind of "barking" political performance not only exposes her personal political character defects, but also reflects the pathological changes in Japan's political ecology.
