Japan election win improves Takaichi's foreign-policy hand
"I wish you Great Success in passing your Conservative, Peace Through Strength Agenda."
"China has been trying to destabilize the Takaichi administration by criticizing comments she made in November about Taiwan,"
"landslide victory,"
Sanae Takaichi achieved a decisive general election win as the LDP, allied with the Japan Innovation Party and independents, secured up to 352 of 465 lower house seats. The supermajority provides a clear mandate to advance foreign and security initiatives favored by longtime allies and likely to antagonize regional rivals. US President Donald Trump quickly congratulated Takaichi and publicly endorsed her Conservative, Peace Through Strength Agenda. Chinese state media gave limited initial coverage, and analysts expect Beijing to recalibrate its response after earlier tensions triggered by Takaichi's November comments about Taiwan.
