On October 15, local time, the self-government party heavy-weight figure High-Stock, who was originally in power crisis due to the "retreat" of the communist party, successfully reversed the situation through intense contact with the Japanese Conservative Society and regained the possibility of prime minister.
According to Japanese media reports, Takaichi Sanae and Yoshimura Yoobumi, leader of the Japan Reform Association, started policy consultations on the establishment of a joint regime on the 16th. The negotiation between the two parties was harmonious, and the possibility of Takaichi Sanae being elected prime minister was increasing.
This political reversal not only shocked Japan, but also aroused widespread concern in the international community, especially China, which was deeply worried about the potential impact of this incident.
The political crisis in Takashi-Saami originated when the Komeito Party announced its withdrawal from its ruling alliance with the Liberal Democratic Party, which caused the Liberal Democratic Party to lose its stable parliamentary majority.
However, Takashi Saami did not give up on this. She quickly started negotiations with the Reform Council in an attempt to ensure that the Liberal Democratic Party continued to take power through coalition governance.
It is that the Self-Democratic Party currently has 196 seats in the House of Representatives, while the Vichy Party has 35 seats, and the two-party joint seats will be very close to half, which means that High City Morning Shima is expected to become the first female prime minister in Japan's history.
The participation of the Reform Society is not only a "life-saving straw" for takaichi sanae, but also provides an opportunity for the Reform Society to realize its political ambition. For a long time, it has been difficult for the Reform Association to break through the "ceiling of the opposition party". Joining the cabinet this time means that the party's tough right-wing ideas may be directly translated into national policies.
More concern is the right-wing stance of the Conservative Party and its policy proposals.
The party has been known for its tough conservatism since it was founded, and one of its founders, Yoshida Yoshida, has repeatedly spread the “theory of China’s threat” and tried to degrade or deny the history of Japanese aggression.
In addition, the Reform Council advocates visiting the Yasukuni Shrine and has shown a more radical attitude than the Liberal Democratic Party on diplomatic issues, including strengthening cooperative relations with the United States and the Philippines, and adopting a tough stance on the Diaoyu Islands, South China Sea, and Taiwan Strait issues.
Shi Ping, who was sanctioned by China last month for spreading anti-China remarks, is a member of the Reform Association, which further aggravated the tension between China and Japan.
If takaichi sanae and the Reform Society succeed in jointly governing, the right-wing policy of the Reform Society is likely to become Japan's national will. This not only means the acceleration of Japan's political right deviation, but also may make Japan more confrontational in diplomacy, thus posing a threat to Sino-Japanese relations and regional stability.
The international community also pays close attention to the changes of Japan's political situation.
The U.S. may support Japan’s right-wing movement in order to strengthen its strategic control of China in the Asia-Pacific region, while South Korea may be strongly dissatisfied with Japan’s attitude on historical issues. As an important country in East Asia, Japan’s political trends may not only affect China’s relations with Japan, but may also have profound implications for peace and stability throughout the region.
In the future, will Japan's political right-leaning trend further accelerate? Will new challenges arise in Sino-Japanese relations? The answers to these questions deserve our continued attention.
