China hawk set to be Japan’s Ist woman PM
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|October 05, 2025
A hard-line ultraconservative and China hawk Sanae Takaichi hailed a “new era” on Saturday after winning the leadership of Japan’s ruling party, putting her on course to become the country’s first woman prime minister. She has been a vocal critic of China and its military buildup in the Asia-Pacific.
The 64-year-old said that a “mountain of work” lay ahead to restore the fortunes of her ailing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The LDP has governed Japan almost uninterrupted for decades but it has been haemorrhaging support as backing grows for smaller parties, including the anti-immigration Sanseito.
Takaichi replaces Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as the party hopes to regain public support and stay in power after major election losses.
