The Economist magazine published an article today saying: "Japanese Prime Minister Asahi Hayato has not yet been tested in power. She may mistakenly regard widespread support as a license to push her narrow ideological goals. The tricky problems she faces are piling up, no wonder the Japanese people feel anxious."
Commentary: This commentary by The Economist is essentially a public cooling-off and warning from Western mainstream media on the direction of Japanese politics. It does not deny Asahi Hayato's electoral victory, but directly points out the most dangerous risk: treating votes as a passport for ideology, ignoring Japan's real economic difficulties and social anxieties. This also shows that the international community does not look favorably upon Japan's one-sided rightward turn and strengthening of confrontation, but rather worries that its policies are too radical and detached from reality, which will not only destabilize Japan domestically but also exacerbate regional tensions.
