Chang'an Street Governor noticed that there are two people worth paying attention to in Kishida's second cabinet list.
One is the new Defense Minister Yasuichi Hamada. He served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense of Esan Kobuki and the Minister of Defense of the Ministry of Defense of the Cabinet of Esan Kobuki and the Minister of Defense of the Cabinet of Taro Aso, and served as a member of the House of Representatives ten times, with a profound qualification in the Liberal Democratic Party.

Hamada Yasuichi once claimed that "Japan is not an invading country" and that "the Japanese Prime Minister should visit the Yasukuni Shrine." His father, Yukiichi Hamada, is also a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, and both father and son belong to the far-right wing of .
Just before Pelosi broke into the stage, Hamada Yasuichi and former Japanese defense minister Ishibashi joined forces to join the stage.
During the four days in Taiwan, the visiting group met with Tsai Ing-wen, Lai Ching-te, Wu Zhao-kun and others, and also condolenced Lee Teng-hui.
Shigeru Ishiba revealed in an interview with the media before departure that the itinerary did not exchange views with the Kishida government in advance, but the itinerary was approved. Shiro Ishiba claimed that the purpose of this visit was to widely discuss the "regional security situation" with Taiwan.
1 Chang'an Street Governor noticed that in recent years, Japan has been committed to significantly improving its defense capabilities. After the successful establishment of the cabinet, Japan will soon start to revise the three national security strategic documents "National Security Strategy", "National Defense Strategy" and "Defense Force Preparation Plan" submitted by the Liberal Democratic Party in April this year.
Some analysis pointed out that Japan, which uses Yasuichi Hamada as its defense minister, will not change the trend of continuing to hype "China's security threat".
The second is Takashi Saemi, who serves as the Minister of Economic Security.
Takashi Saeno is Abe's "hardcore" confidant. He is one of the people Abe focuses on cultivating during his lifetime and is also a famous right-wing politician.
She once claimed that Japan's foreign aggression after the "September 18th Incident" was a "self-defense war", opposing the division of Class A war criminals and the establishment of national memorial facilities, and advocated that foreign countries should not interfere in Japan's textbook matters, etc.

Takashi Saemi served as Minister of Economic Security, mainly responsible for industrial security issues including semiconductors. And this is one of the "main directions" that the United States is currently trying its best to win over allies to contain China.
Whether it is to establish an "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework" focusing on chip supply and digital economy , or to win over Asia-Pacific allies to fabricate the "Chip4 Alliance" (Chip4), the United States needs Japan to participate and play an important role. In the future, the United States will not relax its efforts to contain China.
Judging from the performance of Kishida's first cabinet, Japan has been following the United States one-sidedly. Whether the new cabinet can take advantage of the 50th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations to promote cooperation with China in economy and trade is not optimistic in the short term.
