“”Former British Prime Minister Thatcher used military force to retake the territory during the Falklands conflict. In the case of Japan, as I wrote last time, countermeasures are limited due to the government’s view that ‘as long as there are diplomatic relations with that country, the territory cannot be recaptured by invoking the territory.’ However, if they neglect the task of establishing effective control with only ‘table protests’ until the end, I think Takeshima will undoubtedly be recognized internationally as Korean territory.”
Sanae Takaichi is especially far-right among far-right politicians. Unlike previous Japanese prime ministers, he does not avoid diplomatic conflict with neighboring countries. On the 9th, he attended a meeting of the House of Representatives and stated that Dokdo is Japanese territory. He was a person who argued that Dokdo should be claimed in the manner of Margaret Thatcher, using war means. It is unclear what provocations he will make during his term.
