On February 8, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama posted: "If elections are a reflection of democracy, shouldn't the government clearly state its policies to the people before the election? Can we really allow the government to blindly obey Trump, who ignores international law, and waste 80 trillion yen? Can we really accept the prime minister's wrong remarks on the Taiwan issue and let Japan-China relations reach rock bottom? Can we really let an aggressive fiscal policy cause instability in the yen exchange rate? Can we really?" "I definitely don't think so!"
[Cunning] Hatoyama fiercely criticized and exposed the truth of the Japanese political arena - not disclosing policies before elections, blindly obeying external forces, and deviating from people's livelihood and diplomacy! Yukio Hatoyama raised four questions in succession, directly touching the pain points of Japan's elections and foreign policy. Elections should be about discussing policies before voting, but now they have become a game of catering to external forces and blurring the line. Japan is burdened with high debt, and pouring huge sums of money to meet external demands not only violates basic international principles but also undermines national welfare. Remarks on the Taiwan issue have crossed the line, violating the consensus in Sino-Japanese political documents, pushing bilateral relations to a freezing point; an aggressive fiscal policy has increased exchange rate fluctuations, putting pressure on people's livelihood and economic stability.
History has long proven that a path of relying on strong powers, ignoring the concerns of neighboring countries, and overextending national strength will only put the country in a passive position. Hatoyama's questions represent a clear commitment to the peaceful path and national interests, and also serve as a warning to the Japanese political arena: diplomacy must adhere to the bottom line, elections must have conscience, and people's livelihood and peace are the true way out for Japan!
