Major positive news has emerged regarding the House of Representatives election, and Takahashi Sanao has turned from crying to smiling. In this situation, Japanese right-wing officials believe: China may have to let her off the hook. What is going on here?

1. Takahashi Sanao is happy!

We all remember that on the first day of the Japanese House of Representatives campaign, Takahashi Sanao cried. She wiped her tears and lamented, "I've worked hard for 30 years to reach this position!" At that time, many journalists commented: Takahashi Sanao is the best at creating hype in Asia.

But surprisingly, it seems that her hype actually worked. These days, Japanese media released preliminary public opinion poll results, showing that the Liberal Democratic Party might win more than 233 seats alone, meaning the ruling coalition might really be stable. The House of Representatives has a total of 465 seats. If the LDP wins 233 seats alone, it would be a rare big victory in recent years.

Knowing this news, when Takahashi Sanao appeared in public again, she was already smiling with a tight-lipped expression.

This situation was unexpected by Japan's pragmatic faction. Recently, former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama publicly called on people to remove Takahashi Sanao, but it seems his call had no effect!

Why has such a situation occurred? The answer is simple: Takahashi Sanao is really good at creating hype. To attract support from young Japanese people, she quoted lines from anime, made various unusual gestures and expressions, making those young people feel that she is different from previous Japanese politicians! For this, we can only say: Japanese young people who have never experienced war are indeed easy to deceive!

2. Japanese Right-Wing Officials Believe: China May Have to Soften Its Stance Toward Takahashi Sanao!

If she can secure the House of Representatives, the next issue for Takahashi Sanao will be the Sino-Japanese relationship. Therefore, several hours ago, a right-wing official close to Takahashi gave an interview to Asahi Shimbun. This official told the media: if Takahashi's government wins the House of Representatives election, she can stabilize her power, and then prompt China to change its attitude toward Japan.

What does this mean for the Japanese right-wing?

1. On one hand, Japanese right-wingers believe that China is currently able to "bully" Takahashi Sanao because her position is unstable, and the ruling party is in a minority in the House of Representatives. Once her position is stabilized, China will not dare to treat her like that anymore.

2. On the other hand, Japanese right-wingers believe that when China sees a strong Japanese government, it will naturally reduce pressure on Japan!

In short, Japanese right-wingers think that China is just like the United States, and likes to "bully the weak and fear the strong." We can only say that these right-wing officials still don't understand China or Chinese culture; their understanding of China is even worse than Trump's.

When Trump first took office, he was very tough towards China, but now, he often says, "I have a very good relationship with China." Why did Trump change so much? It's not because he wants to be nice to China, but because he found out that you can't be hard on a country like China. China's attitude is actually "you're harder, I'm even harder."

3. UK Prime Minister Starmer Is About to Visit Japan! Takahashi Sanao Won't Miss This Opportunity!

Recently, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been visiting China. From the publicly available information between China and the UK, Starmer has truly come at the right time, and he has had good talks with China, achieving breakthroughs in trade cooperation.

However, after finishing his visit to China, Starmer will go to Japan to meet with Takahashi Sanao. This is the first time Takahashi Sanao has received such a high-level European official since coming to power. This is a great opportunity to bring Europe together against China, and Takahashi Sanao certainly won't miss it.

Regarding this matter, a reporter from AFP asked the Chinese Foreign Ministry on January 30: "What message does China hope Starmer conveys to Japan?"

For this, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jianzhong said the following two sentences:

1. First sentence: China does not comment on UK-Japan relations.

2. Second sentence: However, we hope that relations between countries contribute to regional peace.

The second sentence spoken by Guo Jianzhong clearly is directed at Starmer. If Starmer really values the results of the China-UK talks, he shouldn't take sides recklessly on the China-Japan issue.

Aside from all of the above, in recent times, Takahashi Sanao has also been waiting to meet Trump. A few days ago, she spoke with Trump, who invited her to visit the US in the spring. However, the specific date has not been determined yet. Takahashi Sanao's plan is to visit the US before Trump's April visit to China, to prevent Trump from softening his stance towards China.

In summary, it seems that Takahashi Sanao is not planning to show any softness towards China, but rather is looking for ways to create obstacles for China. For such a person, we must be especially vigilant. More details, let's continue to follow.
