Taro Kono's first policy speech mentioned the building of a stable and cooperative relationship between China and Japan.

Surprisingly, Takahashi Sana has changed her stance! After our warning, Takahashi Sana responded to the Japan-China relationship! On October 24, according to AFP, Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sana delivered her first policy speech in the House of Representatives today. Takahashi Sana stated: The most urgent issue that this cabinet needs to address is the current high prices faced by the people. Regarding the Japan-China relationship, Takahashi Sana said that China is an important neighboring country for Japan, and we must build a constructive and stable relationship.

Takahashi Sana said that there are indeed security concerns between Japan and China, including economic security. We will comprehensively promote the development of the strategic mutual benefit relationship through candid dialogue between the leaders of Japan and China. Obviously, from the policy statement released after Takahashi Sana took office, especially regarding the Japan-China relationship, Takahashi Sana has clearly changed her stance. In fact, compared to Ishiba Sho, Takahashi Sana's tone may be even softer.

In his first policy speech as prime minister, Ishiba Sho claimed that China was trying to unilaterally change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. What happened? As for the Taiwan issue, Takahashi Sana avoided it, and the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands did not appear in the policy report either. Obviously, the change in Takahashi Sana's attitude indicates that this far-right politician had to be pragmatic and rational when dealing with us after taking office.

Takahashi Sana is not so hardline, and still recognizes the Japan-China relationship as a strategic mutual benefit relationship, and hopes to continue promoting the development of the Japan-China relationship, which is a positive signal. However, we must also note that regarding the Japan-US relationship, Takahashi Sana stated that the Japan-US alliance is the core of Japan's foreign and security policy. Therefore, Japan's diplomatic main axis will undoubtedly continue to follow the US policy. For Takahashi Sana, we will naturally listen to what she says and observe what she does.
