In the years of Japanese politics, the change of people has been rapid, the foothills have just resigned, the foothills have been killed and became the first female president of the self-government party. On October 4, 2025, she was in the headquarters of the self-government party in Tokyo, through two rounds of voting, with 185 votes to 156 votes killed the foothills, took the position. Looking at the outside, the sisters' background is not simple, consistent right-wing style, and the routes of friendship and friendship are steady.

The political label of Gaoshi Zaomiao is very clear. He is conservative and has a strong right-wing tendency. I have visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times, and I also visited it on August 15, 2025. Denying the Nanjing Massacre and promoting the China threat theory have made her popular among the extreme right in Japan. But because of these, she has become highly controversial internationally. Diplomatically, she is close to the United States and advocates amending Article 9 of the Peace Constitution to allow the Self-Defense Forces to exercise collective self-defense rights. Strengthening armaments and increasing defense budgets are all her old tunes. She had an iron relationship with Shinzo Abe and was called the female version of Abe. When Abe was still alive, he strongly praised her. She promoted the Economic Security Promotion Law, restricted Sino-Japanese high-tech cooperation, and took the lead in eliminating Huawei's 5G equipment. These actions all showed vigilance against China.

The event itself took place on October 6-7. First, Trump posted on the Truth Social to congratulate Japan on the election of its first female prime minister, saying that she was highly respected, intelligent and powerful, but strangely, she didn't mention sanae Takaichi's name. According to Japanese media analysis, this may be Trump's consideration, or it may be an oversight. But Takaichi didn't miss this opportunity. On October 7th, she replied directly on the X platform, thanking Trump for his congratulations, and stressing that she should work with him to promote the Indo-Pacific strategy and further strengthen the Japan-US alliance. Japanese media reported that this post was quickly forwarded and praised. She was openly standing in the United States with a tough attitude. Trump responded positively. It is said that he plans to visit Japan on October 28th and have a face-to-face talk with Takashi. Kyodo News reported that Takashi indicated that he would build mutual trust with Trump and enrich Japan-US relations. This shout is not only a polite response, but more like a declaration of her diplomatic line.

Why say unsurprisingly? Because Takaichi Sanae's China strategy has not changed since she entered politics. She advocated that Japan should be a strategic outpost in the Indo-Pacific region and cooperate with the United States to contain China. During the election campaign, she repeatedly said that she would deepen cooperation between Japan, the United States and South Korea and strengthen alliances to deter China. In the article of Hudson Institute, she signed an article, hyping up the Taiwan Province issue, saying that she would deepen unofficial relations with Taiwan Province. In the past few years, she has visited Taiwan Province and interacted frequently with local dignitaries. These things are interfering in China's internal affairs and stepping on red lines. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to her election on October 4th, saying that this was Japan's internal affair, but hoped that Japan would pursue an active China policy, abide by the four political documents of China and Japan, and don't mess around with history and the Taiwan Province issue.

This strategy, rooted in her political philosophy. She felt that Japan relied on the United States, the military should keep up, so pushed to amend the Constitution, increase military spending. The election of the President of the Self-Democratic Party in 2025, her policy program, clearly said to accelerate the abolition of temporary tax rates, raise the annual income threshold, establish an investment committee to review foreign investment, strengthen illegal immigration regulations. The anti-espionage law is also in her plan. These are neutral, in fact targeting China's components. The economic security law is her dominant, restricting supply chains, preventing technology outflow. Japanese media analysis, she wants to borrow America's power, in the Asia-Pacific to balance, but in essence is in line with the American print and Pacific strategy,

However, she also takes reality into account. On October 8, Observer Network reported that Takashi was considering giving up paying homage to the Yasukuni Shrine in the autumn for the festival from October 17 to 19. The reason is to take into account China-South Korea relations and Trump's visit to Japan at the end of the month and do not want to cause trouble. The Komeito Party is also exerting pressure, and they oppose radical diplomacy. Gaoshi has adjusted, and the media said she prioritizes diplomatic stability. But this doesn't mean she's soft, it's just a tactical adjustment. Scholar Tetsuo Kotani criticized her for being naive and said she wanted to talk about the Taiwan issue with China, but her past remarks prevented her from even having a chance to meet. The Japan Institute of International Studies analyzed that her pro-US toughness may intensify friction between China and Japan.
