Japanese media express concern that labeling Takagi as right-wing due to the embassy intrusion incident may trigger diplomatic risks.

Japanese media are concerned that the "embassy intrusion incident" will label Takagi as right-wing.

On March 26, Kenji Mineura, commentator on Fuji Television's "Sunshine" program and senior researcher at Canon Global Strategy Institute, warned: "There is one thing we need to be cautious about."

"After the incident of Self-Defense Forces officers invading China's embassy, China declared: 'Japan's far-right ideology and forces are extremely rampant...' This is the key point. Now, the Takagi administration is being labeled with far-right ideological tendencies. In other words, linking this case to the Takagi administration is extremely dangerous—I worry that future pressure on Japan will intensify and sanctions will be strengthened."

Host Shuhei Tanihara also said: "If someone were to kill a Chinese diplomat in the name of God, Japanese people would not accept it."

"If the Self-Defense Forces act under a specific ideological or religious coloration, that would be terrifying."
