Foreign media reported today: "Japanese senator Tsuchimoto Masami disclosed the government's prepared answers for the parliamentary session, indicating that Prime Minister Takahashi Hayano's 'Taiwan incident' remarks were spontaneous, or may have been due to her personal mistake."
After Takahashi's provocative remarks on Taiwan caused deterioration in Sino-Japanese relations, there was a strong wave of domestic accountability and calls for her resignation in Japan. The disclosure of these documents reflects the deeper intentions of the opposition camp, shifting the focus to Takahashi personally, using the blame to force her to step down; at the same time, it also diverts attention from the rise of Japanese right-wing forces, avoiding in-depth scrutiny of the risks of the resurgence of militarism. However, the so-called "personal mistake" is merely a clumsy excuse, and the claim of "spontaneous remarks" is purely an attempt to mislead people.
