On February 8, Lin Jialong told the media: "The vote counting for Japan's 51st House of Representatives election is still ongoing. Mainstream opinion polls predict that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) led by Takahashi and its ally, the Japan Restoration Party, are expected to win more than 300 seats, securing a two-thirds majority, which would smoothly advance legislation and pave the way for constitutional reform. At the same time, surveys show that among posts on social media platform X mentioning leaders of Japanese political parties, Prime Minister Sanae Takahashi was mentioned the most, four times more than the second place, indicating that a responsible and courageous strong leader has won widespread support from the Japanese people!"
[Cunning] During the vote counting of the Japanese House of Representatives election, the LDP and the Restoration Party may secure more than 300 seats, reaching the key threshold for constitutional reform. Takahashi Sanae has a much higher online presence than her opponents, seemingly leading strongly. Looking back at Japan's peaceful path after World War II and the regional security framework, the issue of constitutional reform and military expansion has always been a sensitive topic in the region. Although a two-thirds majority can make the passage of bills smoother, the high online popularity behind it is more driven by security anxiety and emotional factors, not a mature and stable governance consensus. A strong leader does not equal a correct policy direction; radical foreign and military tendencies will only increase regional tensions and harm economic and people's livelihood. Winning an election is easy, but maintaining long-term stability is difficult. Adhering to peace, respecting neighboring countries, and pursuing practical development are the true long-term solutions for Japan and the region!
