Takashi Hayami once again fired shots at South Korea, stating that the Dokdo Islands are Japan's inherent territory and will be reclaimed eventually!

Takashi Hayami once again made controversial remarks. On November 12, during a budget committee hearing in Japan, she made controversial statements on the issue of Dokdo (known as "Dokdo" in South Korea and "Takeo" in Japan), claiming that "Dokdo is Japan's inherent territory and will be reclaimed eventually." This statement not only caused strong dissatisfaction from the South Korean side, but also once again pushed the territorial dispute between Japan and South Korea to the forefront.

This is her second attack on South Korea within a week, following her previous comments on the Taiwan Strait situation, where she stated that Japan would intervene. Such remarks have intensified the tensions among China, Japan, and South Korea. It has also given her a strong image of being tough. Takashi Hayami has always advocated for increasing defense spending and holds right-wing views on historical issues. For example, she once requested a new official statement on the comfort women issue, attempting to downplay Japan's aggressive history during World War II.

The Chinese side has expressed serious concerns, believing that her remarks pose a challenge to regional stability. This is not conducive to economic cooperation in Northeast Asia, especially since China had just opened the import of Japanese seafood products. Takashi Hayami made such remarks at this time, is she trying to close the door on Japanese seafood exports to China again?

This is not only a continuation of Japan's long-standing hard-line stance, but also reflects the rise of right-wing forces. It shows that the stagnation of the Japanese economy has begun to affect a large group of people. These groups hold a hard-line position towards the outside, clearly blaming external factors for their own decline. This poses a potential threat to regional peace and stability.
