According to a report on Japan's “Nikkan Sports” website on December 20, Representative Ozawa Ichiro, a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party, updated his account on social platform X to criticize Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae over the Liberal Democratic Party Acting Director Koichi Koichi's visit to Taiwan. Ozawa attached several media reports saying that Hagiuda will visit Taiwan from December 21 to 23. He wrote, “At a time when Japan-China relations are becoming increasingly tense... Acting Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hagiuda, will visit Taiwan on the 21st of this month. In this case, anyone would think of it as adding fuel to the fire. What is Prime Minister Takaichi really thinking? Does she want to make matters worse? Does she still have normal judgment?”
