From this surprise election, it can be seen that Takahashi Sanae is someone who is good at converting popularity into seats in the House of Representatives, a political instinct.

Now that she has tasted the benefits, why not further turn this rare big victory into her long-sought goal and complete the "unfinished business" she mentioned?

This is the kind of personality she has. It is reasonable to speculate that she will do things consistent with her personality.

How far will she go, especially in the Sino-Japanese relationship? Will Takahashi take some disruptive actions?

At present, the domestic situation is all green lights, and the extent of Takahashi's actions depends to some extent on the quality of interaction between China-US relations.

What does this mean?

Looking at Sino-Japanese relations, from a certain perspective, it is part of the Sino-US relationship.

There is an alliance relationship between Japan and the US, but it is not an equal relationship. Rather, it is a relationship where Japan cannot become a normal country and is watched and controlled by the US master.

The US more often makes demands and takes from Japan.

Japan, on the other hand, more often has responsibilities and obligations toward the US.

It was a special invitation for Takahashi to go to the White House on March 19th. This date was determined so early, and it occupied a priority slot on the White House schedule, which is a favor for Takahashi.

This date also came before Trump had explicitly confirmed his visit to China, which is quite delicate.

On one hand, Trump's visit to China is a prelude to the midterm elections, and bringing Takahashi into the palace also has this intention. On the other hand, Trump going to Beijing means significant interactions between China and the US, and the Sino-US relationship is likely to maintain a relatively stable state during the midterm election year.

The signal Trump sent to Takahashi is that Sino-US relations are the bigger picture, and Japan should not over-stimulate sensitive Sino-Japanese nerves and drag the president down.

Viewing Trump's "praise-style" endorsement of Takahashi from this angle, it is to ask her to remain calm on Northeast Asian issues, first focus on dealing with domestic livelihood and economic issues, and make Japan fatter.

At the same time, after blowing up the alliance relationship to the sky, he will heavily milk Japan for its wool. This may be the key reason why Trump is not reluctant to praise and give Takahashi a delirious potion.
