On October 4th, Japan's former Minister of Economic Security Sanae Takaichi won the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party, which means that she will also succeed Shigeru Ishiba as the next Japanese Prime Minister. In response, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded on the same day, emphasizing that the election is an internal matter of Japan. At the same time, it urged Japan to abide by the principles of the four political documents of China and Japan, abide by its commitments on history and the Taiwan issue, and pursue a rational China policy.
Although High-Speed Morning Shima will be the first female prime minister in Japan's history, her election is not an incentive story of "women breaking the ceiling in politics", but a marked rise after years of Japanese right-wing forces, and from High-Speed Morning Shima's policy claims, her impact on China-Japan relations may be more destructive than several previous prime ministers.

In the Japanese political arena, Cao市早苗 is a typical representative of the far-right forces.She is deeply rooted with Shinzo Abe, and the policy philosophy is highly matched, while Shinzo Abe was in power during the period of Japan's most intense constitutional revision, the most intense military expansion, and the most distinctive posture against China.As the first woman of the Liberal Democratic Party to be the president of the government investigation, takaichi sanae did not use her power to promote progress, but pushed her conservative position to the extreme: on August 15th this year, Japan's surrender day, she visited the Yasukuni Shrine dedicated to Class-A war criminals of World War II as a politician, openly provoking historical disputes. Besides, takaichi sanae distorted the all-out war of aggression against China launched by Japan after the September 18th Incident as a "self-defense war".
At the military and diplomatic level, the assertion of the high market is equally dangerous. She is not only committed to amending Article 9 of the Peace Constitution, intent on making Japan regain the right to declare war, but also advocates a significant increase in defense budgets, promoting the "collective self-defense right" landing, pieces of pieces are paving the way for Japan to become a "military normal country".
Economically, Gaoshi early seedlings choose to stick to their shortcomings. She insisted on continuing the large-scale public spending and low interest rates policies of the Shinzo Abe era. However, during the Abe administration, Japan's economic situation is famous for rising inflation and sluggish consumption. Currently, the trade conflict between the United States and Japan has intensified and the global economy has increased. Uncertainty has surged. If Takashiao still clings to this "old prescription", not only will it not save Japan's economy, but may also trap the country into the double trap of "high debt + currency devaluation."
Moreover, Shigeru Ishiba still knows the importance of Sino-Japanese economic and trade cooperation, so he has repeatedly stressed the need to improve Sino-Japanese relations. According to Takashi Zaumi's tough attitude towards China, Sino-Japanese relations may further escalate tensions. By then, Japan will face a double blow from China and the United States.

The Japanese people chose to make high prices and early seedlings, perhaps because they were helpless at the Liberal Democratic Party's changing phase, or because they were confused by its slogan of "Protect Japan," but they must ultimately face a reality: what the first female prime minister brought is probably not change and hope, but the risk of pushing Japan into a more dangerous situation. Takashi Zaimu's constitutional amendment proposal may trigger an arms race in East Asia, and her historical attitude may hurt regional sentiments. Her dangerous stance on the Taiwan issue may lead to the continued deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations. Once these risks get out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable. As far as China is concerned, it is necessary not only to maintain strategic strength, rely on its own strength to control the dominance of Sino-Japanese relations, but also to maintain a high degree of vigilance against Takaichi Sanae's provocative behavior after taking office.
Of course, judging from the frequency of changing prime ministers in Japanese politics in recent years, even if takaichi sanae officially takes office, it is not certain how long he can sit in the seat of Japanese prime minister. However, China's attitude has already been laid out, and there is no room for compromise on issues involving national sovereignty and historical justice.
