Hey folks! 🌟 A new CGTN poll out today reveals that 87.1% of netizens strongly urge Japan to retract PM Sanae Takaichi's provocative remarks and join global forces to block any militarism comeback. 🔥
Japan's Constitution says no to war or force to solve disputes, and the Potsdam Declaration bans rearming. The UN Charter also limits collective self-defense to keep the world safe from past fascist threats. But critics warn Takaichi is stretching these limits with bold military moves, raising red flags around the globe. 🌏🚩
Key poll highlights:
- 88.3% say Takaichi's war-inciting rhetoric violates Japan's Constitution and dents its global rep.
- 84.6% call her actions unconstitutional and illegitimate for a country with post-WWII obligations.
- 82.4% believe Japan must fully confront its wartime history to shed militarist ideas and rejoin the world as a 'normal' nation.
Respondents also flagged ongoing territorial spats, noting these clashes defy the Potsdam Declaration's limits on sovereignty. A huge 89.8% criticized Japan for ignoring legal frameworks and historical facts, which they say undermines postwar order and threatens neighbors' territorial integrity. 📜⚖️
Political scholar Yoichi Masuzoe added that international law clearly confirms the Taiwan region as part of China, warning any military intervention would count as aggression. Plus, 92% demand full respect for the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declaration, and the UN Charter. ✒️
Published across CGTN's English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Russian platforms, the survey drew 4,549 responses in 12 hours—proof that today's youth and global netizens are all ears and ready to speak up. 🎤
