Recently, Japan's political scene has been quite lively. Emperor Naruhito unexpectedly invited Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for lunch, which is not a common occurrence. Meanwhile, from the United States, there are reports warning Japan that, with China's growing military power, Japan should be cautious as it may be the first to be targeted. Domestically, Japan's economic data has just been released, showing a 0.6% contraction in GDP for the third quarter, translating to a 2.3% annual decline. The people's lives are becoming more difficult, and while Takaichi’s approval ratings were high when she took office, they have started to dip. These events, when combined, suggest that Japan needs to carefully consider its next steps.
