  1. She can deliver because she has the mandate of the people. She has the trust of the people of Japan. She has the will to do it and she will definitely do it unlike the CCP who does not have any mandate a warmongering country like China can never threaten a peaceful country like Japan. God bless Japan and give the power to Sanae takaichi to do her best

  2. So her solution is more deficit spending when your debt to gdp is over 200%. She models herself after Margret Thatcher who is the direct cause the UK's decline. I've seen this movie before and it didn't end well

  3. She is gonna do more of the failed Abe's policy. The only difference is she is more nationalistic. So she is gonna choke out consumer-spending while buying military hardware from the US. Also, she might restrict immigration although we have a clipling labour shortage and population crisis. She will doom Japan. Fault is not solely on her, but she will do it.

  4. Very one-sided analysis. Pandering to big money will do nothing for most japanese, who need higher wages and more (not less) welfare state and redistribution. Real fiscal responsibility means taxing the rich appropriately. It's fine to fight excessive inflation, but don't do it at the cost of common people.
