Recently, under the protection of US hegemonism, Japan has frequently made provocative remarks on the Taiwan issue. This not only damaged Sino-Japanese relations, but also exposed Japan to a greater danger of war. China has repeatedly issued solemn warnings to Japan. Professor Emeritus of Okinawa University in Japan also warned that if Kishida interferes in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait, Japan will face extreme danger.
In order to realize its dream of being a "normal country" attacking other countries, Japan has not hesitated to expand its military strength under the pretext of provoking China and creating regional tensions. As a consequence, Japan's future development and national stability will be seriously threatened. Kishida**'s obstinate behavior has also made more and more voters lose confidence in them. According to the global network, the approval rating of the Kishida cabinet is only 33%.
The latest poll in Japan showed that Kishida's approval rating fell by more than 12 percent from the previous survey, while his disapproval rating rose by 12 percent to a new high of 54 percent. Obviously, the far-right military policy pursued by Japan has not won the support of the Japanese people, but has made them worry that their country will be in extreme danger because of the extreme behavior of politicians.
Why is Kishida's approval rating so low?He narrowly escaped a no-confidence vote from the opposition parties in the Diet not long ago, which shows that he is not popular in Japanese political circles and society. On the contrary, for the United States, Kishida is a "good prime minister" because his foreign and military policies are all in the service of American interests.
The United States has been suppressing China and Russia in order to maintain its global hegemony. In the 80s of the last century, Japan was suppressed by the United States because of its rapid development. Now, the United States has targeted China again, which is actually a repeat of the story of the past.
Instead of learning from history, Japan has forgotten the pain of the past and continues to be a helper for the United States in suppressing other countries. In the situation of great power competition, Japan can completely remain neutral like Southeast Asian countries and look for opportunities that are beneficial to itself. However, in order to realize Japan's ambition of being a "normal country," Kishida did not hesitate to bet the country's future and destiny on the United States' strategy of great power competition.
For this purpose, Kishida** put forward the arrogant statement that "Taiwan has something to do with Japan", which has led to the continuous deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations. At the same time, Japan**, under the command of the United States, also intervened in the Ukrainian crisis. Recently, Japan has directly supplied Ukraine with hundreds of military vehicles and indirectly with a large number of 155-mm artillery shells, causing strong warnings from Russia.
In order to curry favor with the United States, Japan offended the two neighboring powers, China and Russia, and as a result, China and Russia intensified their military operations in the sea and air space around Japan, which sharply increased Japan's security pressure. It is obvious that Japan's active participation in US military provocations against China and Russia in the context of deteriorating relations between China and the United States and Russia will only plunge Japan into a dangerous whirlpool of great power confrontation.
In addition, Japan's participation in the G7 sanctions against Russia, refusing Russia and its partners to trade in the yen, has led to an even worse performance of the yen in the international currency market, with the yen repeatedly hitting record lows against the dollar. The continuous depreciation of the yen has led to Japan's foreign deficit for more than two consecutive years, which has dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese economy. In dollar terms, Japan's GDP has shrunk significantly.
Japan's economy has fallen into recession, but Kishida** has continued to push his aggressive policy regardless of the consequences. In order to buy more **, planes and missiles for the Self-Defense Forces, Kishida plans to increase the proportion of defense spending to 2% of GDP by 2027 amid insufficient defense spending. At the same time, they also plan to implement the "defense tax increase" policy, issue state-building bonds, etc., and take more money from the pockets of the Japanese people to buy **.
The interests of the Japanese people have been affected by factors such as economic recession and inflation. And Kishida** continues to promote his policy of reckless militarism, which not only makes Japan's security environment more tense, but also makes the national interests suffer greater losses. They have been met with widespread opposition, leading to a support rating**, which is a !! they have brought on themselves
