Takaichi fallout: Japan’s economic predicament speaks volumes

Japan’s GDP shrank by 2.3% in Q3 this year, the first decline since Q1 2024, the latest data from the Cabinet Office shows. Sanae Takaichi’s recent provocative actions on China’s internal affairs, which challenge international order, will take an even greater toll on Japan’s already strained economy.

  1. The poorer Japan is, the less it has to lose and the more aggressive, determined and violent Japan will be. Given China's passivity, history will be written again and Nanjing version 2.0 will once again be a victim of the Empire of Japan, the only country to rise from its ashes after receiving two atomic bombs. Unlike the Chinese, the Japanese are also hardworking but much more determined, vicious and cruel. China is not even up to the task today.
