Prominent figures in the Japanese political arena publicly criticized Asano Hayato for making remarks that were too reckless.

There are still sensible people in the Japanese political arena! Japanese political elites have publicly criticized Takano Hayato, which is extremely dangerous and very reckless. On November 12, according to AFP, Shigaku Ozawa, a member of the House of Representatives from the Constitutional Democratic Party, stated that Prime Minister Takano Hayato's response to security policy was too reckless, involving national security, which concerns the lives of the people and the fate of the country, and her attitude was too careless.

Politicians who recklessly incite foreign crises and ignite sparks can lead to many emotional reactions, with the fire growing larger and larger until it becomes uncontrollable. This leads to a true "state of emergency," ultimately causing great sacrifices by the people. There are numerous historical examples of this. Therefore, diplomacy and politics must always remain calm. Obviously, after Takano Hayato made a big mistake, there have finally been voices in the Japanese political arena that are significant and openly criticize Takano Hayato.

Ozawa Shigaku, who has served as a member of the House of Representatives for 16 terms and has held positions such as Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party, President of the Democratic Party, and President of the Freedom Party, is obviously very clear about the serious consequences of Takano Hayato's remarks. Frankly speaking, excellent politicians are those who can resolve disputes, mediate conflicts, and bring benefits to the people, while only politicians are eager to create crises and intensify conflicts, completely ignoring the fundamental interests of the country and the people. Takano Hayato's actions clearly fall into the latter category.

Evidently, Ozawa Shigaku's statement is a wake-up call, which helps to cool down Takano Hayato's overheated mind and also helps to return the irrational and hysterical emotions prevalent in the Japanese political arena back to a rational state. Takano Hayato's comments on the Taiwan issue are actually undermining the foundation of Sino-Japanese relations; one wrong step could trigger an unpredictable Sino-Japanese war. Evidently, there are still sensible people in the Japanese political arena, and some people know that Takano Hayato has done something wrong, showing a serious lack of judgment on major issues.
