Is Takashi's big victory in the House of Representatives election accelerating Japan's right-wing trend? This big victory in the House of Representatives election is equivalent to Takashi regaining her power and consolidating her position within the country and the party. She can not only break free from the constraints of the ruling coalition, but also largely overcome the constraints of party factions. The Liberal Democratic Party members who lost their seats due to the Black Gold scandal and regained their seats this time will gather around Takashi, which is likely to form the strongest faction within the Liberal Democratic Party. The implementation of its own policy proposals by Takashi will be smoother, and the direct consequence is the acceleration of Japan's right-wing transformation. What she is likely to do is: 1. Promote constitutional amendment The Liberal Democratic Party's victory is approaching the "constitutional amendment threshold" (2/3 of seats), and Takashi may push for the amendment of Article 9 of the constitution to allow for a more active military role. Replacing the clause of 'not maintaining military power', clearing constitutional barriers for Japan to have the right to engage in combat, collective self-defense, and the ability to strike enemy bases, and accelerating the process of 'national normalization'. 2. Strengthening national defense and security: Takashi has long advocated increasing defense spending to 2% of GDP and promoting the inclusion of the Self Defense Forces in the constitution. This major victory provides her with a stable majority in parliament, which is expected to accelerate the process of "ordinary nationalization" (breaking free from the post-war peace constitution restrictions), including strengthening the Japan US alliance, being wary of China (continuing Abe's "anti China line"), and potentially expanding collective self-defense rights. 3. More inclined towards conservatism She emphasized the strengthening of immigration monitoring and conservative values (such as traditional family values), which are also part of the rightward shift, and there is a high possibility of a resurgence of "nationalism". 4. In terms of fiscal and industrial policies Continuing the previous strong stimulus policy led by large fiscal policies, we will continue with large-scale fiscal stimulus plans, reduce the burden on enterprises through tax cuts, increase subsidies, and strive to drive economic growth. The plan is to promote investment in growth areas that are crucial to economic security through bold tax incentives, specifically naming artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, perovskites and solid-state batteries, digital technology, nuclear fusion, biotechnology, aerospace, shipbuilding, innovative drugs, etc; Establishing a "Foreign Investment Review Committee": aimed at reviewing inbound investments from the perspective of economic security; Tighten technology and supply chain security policies, join forces with allies to strengthen export controls and investment reviews in the high-tech sector. As a whole, she will become more and more right-wing. It seems that Takashi is becoming Japan's "female Trump" and the pioneer of Trump. The game between East Asia, especially China and Japan, will become increasingly exciting. Bitget buys US stocks: instant entry, silky trading http://(bitget. com)/markets/stocks
