Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, October 24 (Reporter Li Ziyue, Chen Zean) Japanese Prime Minister sanae takaichi delivered his first policy speech after taking office in the provisional parliament on the 24th. His policy propositions in the fields of security and diplomacy showed a distinct tough and conservative color, which caused widespread concern in Japanese public opinion.

In the field of security, the company said it will further strengthen Japan's defense system: advance the goal of "defense expenditure accounting for 2% of GDP" previously planned for the year 2027, and revise the "National Security Strategy", "National Defense Strategy" and "Defense Forces Development Plan" "Security Three Documents" by the end of 2026.

In foreign affairs, he said that he will focus on the Japan-U.S. alliance, deepen the multilateral security cooperation between Japan-U.S. Korea, Japan-U.S. Korea, Japan-U.S. Macau-India and other countries, and strive to create a ¡°free and open Indo-Pacific region¡±.

On the economic side, high markets have proposed to promote the development of industries such as artificial intelligence on the basis of "responsible positive finance", and to support people's livelihoods through measures such as local subsidies and energy subsidies, to reduce the burden of low- and middle-income groups.

In terms of foreign-related policies, Takashi said that it will strengthen government management, study systems such as foreigners purchasing land, and allow foreigners in Japan to abide by relevant rules.

Around the policy of Takashi, many major Japanese media published comments expressing strong concern. The Asahi Shimbun reported that Takaichi's policies in the fields of security, diplomacy, dealing with foreigners, etc. are "strongly hawkish" and are intended to drastically change the development direction of Japan after the war. "This trend is strongly worrying".

"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" pointed out that this policy adjustment is based on the premise of further increasing defense costs, and relevant policies must be extensively and carefully discussed in the National Assembly.

According to Daily News, these measures could lead to a change in the principle of ¡°determination of defence¡± and a reversal of Japan¡¯s post-war path to peaceful development, while emphasizing that enhanced defence capabilities will make neighbors more alert and should maintain peace through continued dialogue.
