【Win diplomacy by dressing well? The logic of Takahashi Hayato is very strange】

On the afternoon of November 21, Takahashi Hayato took a private jet from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to South Africa. She posted on social media that this trip would last four days, and she had specifically left her morning schedule free the day before to organize her travel luggage. However, what made her most troubled and took the most time was choosing clothes. Because during a previous parliamentary inquiry, Senator Ando Takayuki told her that when meeting with foreign leaders for diplomatic negotiations, she should wear clothes made by Japan's top craftsmen using the highest quality Japanese fabric. If she wore cheap clothes, she would be looked down upon.

Therefore, Takahashi Hayato spent several hours selecting "clothes that don't look cheap" and "won't be looked down upon" from her current wardrobe. After trying many options, she finally chose the outfit she wore during her previous visit to Malaysia.

Takahashi Hayato's statement about "good clothing giving an advantage in diplomatic negotiations" immediately attracted numerous netizens' sarcastic comments. One person wrote: "There are clothes that can give an advantage in diplomatic negotiations? What is it? I can't believe my eyes."

Kiyoyasu Takeda, a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party, also joined the criticism, directly pointing out that Takahashi Hayato should not publicly state that she intends to gain an advantage in diplomatic negotiations through clothing. On social media, he wrote: "I don't know what the significance of Takahashi Hayato doing this is. I have never heard of clothing being able to give an advantage in diplomatic issues."

It must be said that Takahashi Hayato's thinking is indeed very strange, which is why she has caused trouble in the diplomatic field. However, this comment from Takahashi Hayato makes people think of Kim Gyeong-hyeon, the wife of Yoon Suk-yeol. As the First Lady, she often changed her attire during visits, but now she is in prison.
