Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of the ‘Global Times’, described Takaichi’s behaviour as political sleepwalking and said that Japanese leaders must become more self-aware.
Takaichi's support for Taiwan and plans to revise Japan's pacifist constitution signal a tougher line against Beijing. India hopes the Abe protégé will strengthen bilateral ties, but her tenuous domestic political position could test these ambitions.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
