Japanese political figures said: "Prime Minister Takahashi is extremely dangerous."
On Wednesday, December 12th, Japanese Diet member Ozawa Ichirō updated his X account. He stated that Prime Minister Hashimoto's response to security policies was "too reckless," and said, "Prime Minister Hashimoto is extremely dangerous." Ozawa Ichirō is a member of the House of Representatives (elected for the 16th time). He has previously served as the Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, the Secretary-General of the Democratic Party, the President of the Democratic Party, and the President of the Freedom Party.
On the 7th, during a budget committee meeting in the House of Representatives, Hashimoto spoke about the "Taiwan incident" and said, "It could become a situation of national survival crisis." In response, the Chinese government lodged a strong protest.
Ozawa pointed out, "Prime Minister Hashimoto is extremely dangerous. Regarding national security and safeguarding, which are issues concerning the lives of citizens and the fate of the nation, her attitude is too careless."
A single word from the Prime Minister could threaten the lives of citizens. However, there is no such awareness or sense of responsibility from Prime Minister Hashimoto.
If she had started from scratch and thoroughly studied the security policy, this would never have happened.
Ozawa also criticized on X on the 11th: "Politicians arbitrarily incite external crises, ignite sparks, leading to many people's emotional reactions, the fire spreading further and further, and by the time they realize it, it's already impossible to extinguish. A true 'situation of national survival crisis' occurs, ultimately making the people pay a great price. There are countless historical examples of this. That is why diplomacy and politics must always remain calm."
