The broadcast on October 29, 2024, provided an in-depth analysis of the recent Japanese elections and their ramifications. It emphasized the political turmoil triggered by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's resignation pressure following the Liberal Democratic Party's electoral defeat, which ignited power struggles within the party. The discussion further shifted to the economic state of China, revealing a trend of sluggish growth across all 31 provinces and cities, with many experiencing negative GDP growth rates. This economic stagnation is exacerbating social issues, with notable incidents of violence reported, including a knife attack in Beijing carried out by an unemployed middle-aged man. This incident highlights the worsening psychological crisis within society, as the profile of disenchanted individualsβ€”those experiencing unemployment and lack of directionβ€”emerges as a significant source of violent outbreaks. Experts forecast that this economic crisis may trigger further social unrest, reflecting a broader concern over public safety. They predict that the collapse of economic stability will be closely linked to deteriorating social order. Additionally, the political instability in Japan not only poses risks to Japan itself but also threatens Taiwan and neighboring countries, particularly as Japan's electoral timeline coincides with that of the United States, leading to a more complex political landscape. Analysts speculate that Japan may enter a period of frequent political turnover in the coming years.
