"Right-wing Japan Wins": The US is happy, the Japanese right-wing is happy, and China is also happy!
Trump is very happy, Takahashi has gained control of the legislative body, securing a historic two-thirds super majority. From now on, it will no longer be difficult for Japan to increase the protection fee submitted to the US from 2% to 5%. The 35 billion dollars in investments by Japan to the US have found a place. The huge funds for Japan to purchase weapons from the US have found a place. As long as the US needs interests, the Japanese legislature will pass them without any obstacles. Japan will perfectly become the "cash cow" of the US. In addition, Japan will also become the "agent" of the US strategy in Asia, taking the forefront as the pawn of the US. Takahashi is a perfect agent! President Trump is very happy and said: Takahashi is an esteemed and very popular leader. The bold and wise decision of Takahashi to call for elections has brought great returns!
Takahashi has won the election, and the Japanese right-wing is also very happy. The support rate among voters under 30 even reached as high as 90%. On the Taiwan issue, 57% of surveyed Japanese people expressed support for Takahashi's position on Taiwan. After Takahashi announced a new election, the support rate slightly dropped but remained around 60%. This indicates that the young people of Japan are about to embark on the "path of the revival of militarism," and Japan will retrace the path of World War II. It is believed that Japan is not far from "its demise." The economic decline, security crisis, and being "cleared" are just around the corner. Is it appropriate for the Japanese right-wing to be happy or not?
Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama is very concerned about the political situation in Japan:
1: If the election is truly an embodiment of democracy, shouldn't it be conducted after clearly stating the government's policies to the people?
2: Can we really tolerate the government obeying Trump, who ignores international law, and waste 80 trillion yen?
3: Can we really accept the erroneous statements of Prime Minister Takahashi on the Taiwan issue, leading Sino-Japanese relations to the bottom?
4: Can we really allow active fiscal policy to cause unstable fluctuations in the yen exchange rate? Can we really do that? I definitely don't think so.
As for why China is also happy to see Takahashi's election, it's just one sentence: For the past 80 years, China has been looking for opportunities for "revenge," but it has been hard to find. One diplomatic protest and opposition after another have seemed powerless. It would be better to have a real "battle," thoroughly clean up Japan's crimes and finally take revenge. Such an opportunity has arrived! It's worth being happy!
China's comprehensive countermeasures against the Takahashi government in Japan mark the beginning of actively shaping the new normal Sino-Japanese relationship. China no longer needs to worry; as long as it takes practical actions and makes Japan suffer repeatedly, it will begin the path toward Japan's "demise": starting war compensation, supporting the independence of the Ryukyu Islands, implementing the "recognition clause," "settling" all the national treasures stolen by Japan and returning them, allowing Chinese troops to be stationed in Japan, etc.
