In the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan on October 4, Takashi Saami won the election without surprise from among five candidates. Shigeru Ishiba expressed his greatest worries, and China only gave a warning.
According to the observers network and the global network, after the decision to resign officially, Cao市早苗 succeeded in being elected president of the self-government party, becoming the 29th president of the self-government party, there is a great likelihood of becoming a new prime minister of Japan.
After the election results were announced, after a press conference held in the prime minister's residence on the same day, he spoke of his worst concerns, saying "I hope she can lead Japan in the right direction."
He stressed that “it is unity and inclusion that is needed at the moment, not opposition and division.” he said, “It is our mission as a member of the Democratic Party to maximise the serious judgment made by members of the Party and ‘party friends’ and provide support to all parties.”
The words revealed concerns about where Japan will go after the election, because in terms of the previous political history of the Japanese prime minister, Japan is likely to go to a deeper abyss after she became Japanese prime minister.
In the Kabinet of Abe, he served as the general affairs minister, was the first female general affairs minister in Japan's history, and after Abe's resignation, was considered the most perfect successor of Abe's triumph.
The most notable is her political assertion, which she denies in the historical aspects of the "1918 incident" as an aggression, shamelessly calling it a "war of self-defense", since 2014 has been 11 years in a row on August 15 publicly visiting the Yogyakarta sanctuary.
In her understanding of the Japanese Constitution, she advocated the removal of Paragraph 2 of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, changing the name of the Self-Defense Force to "National Defense Army", demanding the restoration of Japan's "right to fight" and promoting a constitutional amendment referendum.
Militarily, she advocates increasing the defense budget, promoting the implementation of "collective self-defense rights," strengthening the "ability to strike against enemy bases," and regards the military construction of China and North Korea as a "national defense risk" for Japan.
Economically, on the one hand, she hopes to strengthen economic cooperation with China and South Korea, but on the other hand, during her tenure as Japan's Minister of Economic Security, she caters to the US to promote high-tech sanctions against China.
In terms of Sino-Japanese relations, she has a tough attitude towards China, repeatedly claiming that "if something happens to Taiwan Province, something happens to Japan" and supporting the United States and Japan to jointly contain China, but at the same time acknowledging the need for China and Japan to maintain dialogue to prevent being marginalized.
To sum up, it can be said that Takashi Saami is a far-right politician. Japanese media call her a "right-wing politician." Her view of history and constitutional amendment have also been criticized as "a signal of the revival of militarism."
If nothing else happens, she will officially take over the power handover baton from Shigeru Ishiba on October 15th and become the first female prime minister in Japanese history. If she becomes the prime minister of Japan, I'm afraid it will make the already rigid Sino-Japanese relations even worse.
In this regard, the spokesman of my Ministry of Foreign Affairs only gave a warning. On October 4th, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that China had noticed the election results, which was an internal affair of Japan. It is hoped that Japan will abide by the principles and consensus of the four political documents between China and Japan, abide by its political commitments on major issues such as history and Taiwan Province, pursue a positive and rational China policy, and implement the orientation of comprehensively promoting strategic and mutually beneficial relations.
In this passage from the Chinese side, the most obvious warning is that no matter who is in power in Japan, it is hoped that Japanese politicians will abide by the basis of establishing diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and make careful choices on issues such as history and the Taiwan Strait.
Indeed, it is the Japanese's own business who Japan chooses as prime minister. No matter how tough Takaichi Sanae's attitude towards China was before, as long as they dare to intervene in China's affairs, China will never give up.
Also persuaded by these politicians in Japan and in the high market, today's China is no longer the same as it was more than a hundred years ago, and it is best to deal with today's China according to the Chinese rules.
