In Japan, Prime Minister Sane Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has won with two-thirds of the seats. The LDP won 316 out of 465 seats in Sunday's election.

This is the first time that a party has won so many seats in the lower house in Japan since World War II. Similarly, the Japan Innovation Party, which is in alliance with the LDP, has won 36 constituencies. With this, the ruling coalition has won a total of 352  seats. 

He was found to be liked by everyone from the elderly to the young in Japan  . US President Donald Trump has congratulated Takaichi  . He had previously openly supported Takaichi during the election.  It is an honor to support him and his coalition during the election,' Trump wrote on social media, 'I will always have strong support for the Japanese people who voted with such passion.'

Takaichi does not have the two-thirds vote required in the upper house to fulfill his promises. Out of the 248 members in the upper house, the LDP has 101 and the Japan Innovation Party has 19, leaving the ruling coalition with only 120 votes. That is why amending the constitution immediately is not easy.

China has warned Japan to walk a peaceful path

after Takaichi's victory. It has not congratulated him. Recalling the four political documents between China and Japan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian expressed confidence that any one election will not affect Japan-China relations. Important political understandings were made between China and Japan in 1972, 1978, 1998 and 2008. 

The latest four-point document, signed on November 7, 2014, states that those understandings will be followed, strategic relations will be maintained and used for mutual benefit  .  Japan has committed to the One China policy. Similarly, it signed a Treaty of Peace and Friendship with China in 1978  . However, before becoming prime minister, Takaichi visited Taiwan last April and met with top politicians there  . She expressed her willingness to respond if China used military force against Taiwan upon becoming prime minister  . She called that potential situation a challenge to Japan and Taiwan's collective self-defense and existence   The day after he became prime minister, China's state-run newspaper China Daily wrote in an editorial

, 'Japan should abide by past agreements and commitments on the Taiwan issue. It should take cautious steps on the South China Sea and East China Sea issues. This is in China's interest. The trade war launched by the US is not only with China. It has targeted Japan and many countries around the world. It is not in Japan's own interest to please the US. Japan needs to maintain its own independent stance rather than become a pawn in someone else's geopolitical game. '

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant said Takaichi will not let the Japanese people's hopes die. 'When Japan is strong.' Takaichi praised Trump's support. She said the Japan-US alliance is unlimited. 'This partnership is based on deep trust and "It is built on strong cooperation," she said.

Takaichi's victory has brought the debate on constitutional revision to the center of politics. Japan's post-World War II "constitutional commitment to peace" has given it a unique image in the world. However, Takaichi has said that constitutional reform will strengthen Japan's security situation. She has announced that the country will return to normalcy. Takaichi's victory has raised concerns at home and abroad, argues Haonan Hua, a researcher at Keio University and an expert on East Asian international relations. "The plan to make Japan a normal country was not specifically against pacifism. Rather, it was a response to the changing security environment after the end of the Cold War. In particular, in the Gulf War, the need for it was felt when an economic power completely distanced itself from international security responsibilities. Japan has gradually broken through traditional boundaries, participating in peacekeeping operations, sending self-defense forces abroad, re-evaluating self-defense, increasing defense spending, and increasing counterattack capabilities,’

Hua wrote in an article published in The Diplomat on January 27,

, ‘But Takaichi’s aggressive agenda has raised concerns abroad and at home. She has changed the starting point of Japan’s security discourse, directly linking national identity to the military. She has pledged to renew Japan’s key national security documents, end arms export restrictions, and increase defense spending. Her respect for the Yasukuni Shrine has alarmed domestic and international parties.’

Yasukuni Shrine is considered a symbol of the civil war and world war in Japan. Established in 1886, the shrine houses a memorial to the 2.5 million people who died in the war. Most of them are soldiers killed in World War II. Yasukuni has visited the shrine, which holds the legacy of the Japanese empire, many times. However, she did not visit the shrine during her three months as prime minister.

Takaichi now faces the challenge of strengthening Japan's economy. When parliament resumes in mid-February, she will have to work on a budget bill. Her government's main challenge is to come up with a budget that will solve the problems caused by low incomes and rising prices. Takaichi has said that she will cut taxes to reduce economic pressure on the general public. This will provide relief to Japanese people who are paying high rents and daily necessities. She has promised to boost the Japanese economy by raising additional spending. However, it is not clear where this money will come from. Japan is already heavily in debt. Analysts are warning that the already weak economy will become unstable if it borrows more. But investment analyst Yuka Maroseki says a stable government could boost the Japanese economy.

Takaichi was born on March 7, 1961, in the city of Yamatokoriya in Nara Prefecture to a middle-class family. His father, Daikyu Takaichi, worked for an automobile company affiliated with the Toyota brand.

His mother, Kachuko Takaichi, was a member of the Nara Prefecture police force. She graduated from Nara Regional Yiniwi High School. She then enrolled at Kobe University.

She attended Keio and Waseda Universities. While at university, she was a member of a heavy metal band. After graduating with a degree in business administration, she enrolled at the Matsushita Institute of Government and Management. She went to the United States on a scholarship in 1987.

where she worked as an aide to Democratic Party Congresswoman Pat Sordor. In 1989, she returned to Japan and worked as a parliamentary analyst. In 1989, she was a presenter on TV Aasi. She then hosted the morning news program "Asa do Naru" on Fuji Television.

In 1992, she ran as an independent candidate for the Upper House of Japan. But she lost the election. The following year, she won the election to the Lower House. She held various ministries in Shinzo Abe's cabinet in 2006, including the Ministry of Science and Technology Policy and the Ministry of Youth and Gender Equality. After the LDP's victory in 2012, she was the head of the party's Policy Research Council. In 2013, she suggested that Prime Minister Abe issue the 'Abe Declaration'. Prime Minister Tomini Muraya, who served from 1994 to 1996, apologized for 'the great damage caused by Japan's colonial rule and aggression.' Takaichi suggested that the 'Abe Declaration' should correct this. A day before the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, Abe made a formal decision in the cabinet and said that he would stick to past apologies. However, he also made it clear that he would not apologize in the future. Abe's announcement was criticized by China and North Korea.

On October 4, 2025, Takaichi, who was elected chair of the LDP on October 21, became the first female prime minister in Japanese history by gaining a majority in parliament. Soon after, she announced new elections before the full term of parliament had ended.

How was the pacifist policy formulated?

Japan's political past, which is now peaceful, is bloody. In the past, this country had colonized Korea in Southeast Asia. It had occupied the territories of China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, and other countries.

Japan's investment in the military was huge before the World War. In 1904–05, it defeated the Russian Empire in the Battle of Manchuria. Which spread the glory of the Japanese army to Europe.

The desire for its territorial expansion inspired the Japanese emperors to fight the First and Second World Wars. Japan and Germany fought together in the Second World War. Germany was expanding its territory in Europe and Japan in Asia.

Japan was occupying the islands in the Pacific region with the consent of Hitler. With the ambition of territorial expansion, Japan attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This attack on December 7, 1941 forced the United States to directly participate in World War I.

At the height of World War I, Japan had about 6 million troops. However, the death of Hitler on April 30, 1945 and the surrender of Germany a week later ended the World War I in Europe. Japan was still fighting alone in Asia. Between 2.6 and 3.1 million Japanese soldiers had lost their lives in this war. Similarly, the cost of the war had reached 56 billion

dollars.

.

By the time the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the country's economy was already very weak. Three days later, the United States dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki. A large population was wiped out in this attack. The survivors were crippled or had long-term illnesses due to the effects of radiation.

The Japanese emperor announced his surrender immediately after the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

On behalf of the Allied powers, American General Douglas MacArthur was given the authority to oversee all Japanese affairs. Emperor Soa Hirohita readily accepted his proposal to move Japan forward with democratic values ​​and principles. Because Japan, which had lost the war, had no money or power left at this time. At MacArthur's behest, the king dismissed all his military officers. Ultra-nationalist organizations were also abolished. Action was taken against military officers who committed war crimes. The number of troops was continuously reduced. The emperor, traditionally known in Japan as the son of the sun goddess, was deified by promoting the concept of a Shinto state during World War II. However, after this incident, the deranged Emperor Soa Hirohito admitted to the country on January 1, 1946 that he had no divine power. Expressing his desire to live the rest of his life in a normal way, he urged the countrymen to abandon the illusion of divine power and believe in karma.

On April 10, elections were held to draft a constitution. Women voted for the first time. MacArthur's plan was to draft a constitution in accordance with Japanese culture while maintaining a commitment to democracy, human rights, and peace. Japan needed the help of allies in rebuilding. Therefore, the Japanese parliamentarians were unable to make any decisions against the wishes of America and MacArthur at this time. On May 16, 1946, the Emperor appointed Shigeru Yoshida as Prime Minister in accordance with MacArthur's wishes. On November 3, the Constitution of Japan was promulgated. This constitution came into effect on May 3, 1947. The country's name was changed from the Japanese Empire to the 'State of Japan'. The king was given constitutional status as a national symbol. Article 9 of the liberal democratic constitution states that Japan is a 'pacifist country'. This means that it does not manufacture weapons, advocates peace, and maintains diplomatic relations with other countries on the basis of coexistence.

शान्तिप्रतिको जापानको प्रतिवद्धतापछि ८ सेप्टेम्बर १९५१ मा अमेरिका, जापान, सोभियत युनियन, बेलायत, फ्रान्स, नेदरल्यान्डस्, अस्ट्रेलिया, भारतलगायत १३ देशले सान फ्रान्सिस्को सन्धीमा हस्ताक्षर गरेर यस देशलाई मित्रशक्तिको कब्जाबाट औपचारिक रुपमा मुक्त गरेका थिए । उनीहरुले जापानको स्वाभिमानलाई सम्मान गर्ने यस सन्धीमा उल्लेख छ ।

त्यस्तै, जापानले विश्वयुद्धताका कब्जा जमाएका चीन, प्यासेफिक क्षेत्र र दक्षिणपूर्वी एशियाका भूभाग छाड्ने तथा सबैसँग मित्रवत् सम्बन्ध कायम राख्ने उल्लेख छ । यस सन्धीले जापानलाई विश्वयुद्धका तिक्तता भुलेर अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय समुदायसँग जोड्न महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्यो । यसको तीन वर्षभित्र जापानमा सेनाको संख्या कटौती भएर झन्डै १ लाख ३० हजार सेनामात्रै बाँकी थिए । यस सेना लडाइँका लागि नभएर राष्ट्रिय विपद् र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय शान्ति मिशनमा संलग्न हुनका लागि थियो । 

जापानले आफ्नो रक्षाका लागि अमेरिकासँग सन्

१९६० मा सम्झौता गर्‍

यो । यस सम्झौताले जापानी भूमिमा अमेरिकालाई सैनिक अखडा राख्‍ने अनुमति दिएको छ । जापानको भूभागमा आक्रमण भएमा दुबै देशले मिलेर रक्षा गर्ने यसमा उल्लेख छ । 

२४ जुन २०२५ मा जियोग्राफिकल डट युकेमा प्रकाशित रिपोर्टअनुसार यहाँ अहिले ५२ हजार ८ सय २३ जना अमेरिकी सैनिक छन् । सबैभन्दा धेरै सैनिक ओकिनावास्थित कादेना हवाई अखडामा छन् ।

आफ्नो शान्तिवादी मान्यतामा जापान अडिग छ र विश्वयुद्धपछि जापानी भूमीबाट अर्को स्थानमा हमला भएको छैन । यद्यपी, पछिल्ला वर्षहरुमा शान्तिवादी संविधानलाई संशोधन गर्दै रक्षा क्षेत्रमा बजेट बढाउनुपर्ने माग जनस्तरबाट उठिरहेको छ । ताकाइचीको जीतले पनि यही संकेत गर्छ । ग्लोबल फायरपावर इन्डेक्सका अनुसार जापानसँग सन् २०२५ सम्म

आइपुग्दा २ लाख ५१ हजार सेना छन्

जापानको छिमेकमा तीन सैन्य शक्ति रुस, चीन र उत्तर कोरिया छन् । यी तीनवटै देश आणविक शक्ति सम्पन्न छन् । जापानले आफ्नो सैन्य क्षमता वृद्धि गर्नुपर्ने आवश्यकता महसुस गर्नुको एउटा मुख्य कारण उनीहरुको आक्रामक विदेश नीति पनि हो । आफ्नो भूमि द्वन्द्वका लागि प्रयोग हुन नदिने प्रतिबद्धताका बाबजुद क्वाडको सदस्यका रुपमा इन्डो–प्यासिफिक रणनीतिको सुरक्षा फ्रेमवर्कमा जापानको सक्रियता पछिल्ला वर्षहरुमा बढ्दै गएको छ । ताकाइचीको उदयले यसलाई थप बढावा दिनसक्छ । जसले छिमेकी चीनलाई सतर्क बनाएको छ । ‘को जापानको नेता भयो र कुन पार्टी सत्तामा छ भन्ने विषयले अर्थ राख्दैन । उनीहरुले चार बुँदे राजनीतिक दस्तावेज र जापानको शान्तिवादी संविधान पालना गर्नुपर्छ । जापानले सैन्य गल्ति दोहोर्याउनभन्दा शान्तिपूर्ण विकासको बाटोमै निरन्तर हिड्ने आशा छ,’ चिनियाँ
