Multiple U.S.-Japan observers have asserted: the Kō administration is doomed to be short-lived and will not survive next year!
On December 13, Hong Kong's "Guardian" reported: "The Kō municipal government is facing internal and external difficulties. Recent second statistics from the Japanese Cabinet Office showed that the actual GDP annual rate fell by 2.3% in the third quarter, marking the first negative growth in six quarters, indicating a clear economic downturn. The Kō administration has pursued an anti-China policy, attempting to shift domestic conflicts, but China's countermeasures have put pressure on Japan's economy. Its inflationary recovery economic policy is difficult to implement due to the 'three no' situation of no increased government spending, no corporate investment, and no consumer spending. On Thursday, the White House made its first statement on the Sino-Japanese dispute, not clearly supporting Japan, but emphasizing that the U.S.-Japan alliance remains unchanged, while reiterating maintaining good relations with China. Both Rand Corporation and the founder of the Japanese online forum 2ch, Hironobu Nishimura, believe that the Kō administration has many enemies internally and a weak support base, structurally destined to be short-lived, asserting that it will not survive next year."
[Sagacious] The Kō administration will not survive next year, which is not an empty rumor, but an inevitable outcome of internal and external disorder! Relying on anti-China hype to incite public opinion and shift domestic conflicts may seem to gain short-term support, but in reality, it puts shackles on Japan's economy - quarterly GDP negative growth, the 'three no' economic crisis remains unsolvable, China's countermeasures have severely damaged tourism and foreign trade, and the so-called inflationary recovery has become an empty talk. More critically, political donation scandals have eroded credibility, diplomatically isolating itself by making enemies on all sides. Furthermore, the U.S.'s ambiguous statement is a critical blow, exposing that it is merely a pawn on the ally's chessboard. The consensus between Rand Corporation and Japanese local observers reveals the fragile nature of the Kō administration: the ruling foundation based on inciting confrontation cannot withstand the impact of economic recession and public awakening. This political gamble without considering consequences is destined to end in the collapse of the regime!
