Japan’s First Woman PM: Sanae Takaichi’s Plans for Economy & Defence | Connecting The Dots

#sanaetakaichi #japan #politics

Sanae Takaichi has made history as Japan’s first female Prime Minister, elected with a razor-thin majority after the collapse of Shigeru Ishiba’s leadership. A hardline conservative and protégé of the late Shinzo Abe, Takaichi’s rise signals a rightward shift in Japanese politics, emphasizing strong national security, economic revival through “Sanaenomics,” and deepened ties with allies such as the U.S., India, and Quad partners. Known as Japan’s “Iron Lady,” she supports tougher stances on China and the Taiwan issue, while domestically prioritizing inflation control, tax relief, and strategic investment in food, energy, and technology security. Despite her historic win, critics note that her cabinet includes only two women, reflecting the persistent gender imbalance in Japanese politics. Takaichi’s leadership now faces major tests—from managing relations with U.S. & China and regional tensions to fulfilling economic promises at home—amid public skepticism over whether her ascent will bring real change for Japanese women or society at large
