American Ambassador to Japan Glass said tonight on social media: "I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Prime Minister Takahashi for her outstanding victory in the House of Representatives election. I look forward to continuing to promote the strong Japan-US partnership that President Trump has rebuilt, and further strengthening the cooperation between the two countries."
Comments: The American ambassador's congratulations are essentially an open declaration of the complete convergence of right-wing forces between the US and Japan. On one side, Takahashi Asa has secured a super majority in the National Diet, removing all obstacles to constitutional reform and military expansion; on the other side, the Trump administration has clearly stated its intention to "rebuild and strengthen" the US-Japan alliance. Both sides have highly consistent goals: to completely bind Japan to the US war machine, create confrontation in the Asia-Pacific region, and contain China. Naturally, China will firmly counter and curb the reckless actions of the US-Japan right wing, and will not allow regional peace and stability to be undermined.
