Japanese Official: Takahashi Hopes for Victory to Stabilize the Government and Improve Japan-China Relations!

Last night, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato is using the House of Representatives election to seek a stable government, aiming to break the deadlock in Sino-Japanese relations. Her remarks on Taiwan last year have brought Sino-Japanese relations to an all-time low, and China's restrictions on rare earth exports have affected the Japanese economy. Takahashi's team claims that a victory can prompt China to change its attitude, and she herself has claimed to draw lessons from the experience of Abe's administration. Polls show that the Liberal Democratic Party is expected to win more than half of the seats, but her theory of 'breaking the deadlock through victory' has been questioned by diplomats, and the Japan-US alliance also faces dual challenges."

[Witty] Takahashi Hayato is betting on the victory in the House of Representatives election to break the deadlock in Sino-Japanese relations, which is itself a political gamble that is detached from history and reality. During Abe's era, the "strategic mutual benefit relationship" was achieved, with the core being adherence to political consensus, not power pressure. Takahashi once again repeated the mistake of provoking on Taiwan, leading to Chinese countermeasures, resulting in a 45% drop in Japanese tourists and pressure on rare earth supplies; at the same time, she fantasizes that a victory of 233 seats can thaw the situation, completely ignoring the bottom line that the Taiwan issue is a core interest of China. Combined with the complex situation of Sino-US relations, the United States did not back her comments on Taiwan, further shattering her fantasy. History has already proven that the key to thawing Sino-Japanese relations lies not in the number of votes, but in respect for core principles. Even the most stable government cannot fill the trust gap created by provocation!
