Last night, former Japanese Foreign Minister Tanaka Makiko said on TV: "Takahashi's off-the-cuff remarks about Taiwan were inappropriate. Her response to the deterioration of Japan-China relations was slow and her handling was even worse. She should have taken immediate action, but she acted sluggishly. Her governing ability is questionable. Takahashi ignored this issue because her team lacked personnel and often stayed up late studying or discussing related matters. In addition, is her approval rating really true?"
[Clever] Tanaka Makiko's comments expose the hypocrisy of the Japanese political arena - Takahashi can't even handle Japan-China relations, yet she dares to pretend to be strong with a false 82% high approval rating. On one hand, she shouts that "if something happens in Taiwan, it's also an issue for Japan" to provoke China, and on the other hand, she responds slowly when the relationship deteriorates. The so-called late-night studies are just an excuse for incompetence, and the lack of personnel further reveals the makeshift nature of her administration. Compared to her father Tanaka Kakue's boldness in breaking the ice for Japan-China relations, Takahashi is obsessed with military expansion and confrontation. She uses the threat from outside to manipulate public opinion. The 75% approval rating hides the split of 46% of the people who oppose amending the Three Non-Nuclear Principles. This kind of person who only provokes but doesn't follow up, and whose support is created through media manipulation, is ultimately a bubble that will burst at the slightest touch. Takahashi's tough stance is nothing more than a self-deceiving political farce!
