Sanae Takaichi is often described as a conservative who is tough on China, but views of her foreign policy differ across regions.
The United States is concerned with whether Japan can be a reliable ally while retaining its own judgment; Europe focuses on whether Japan will still follow its postwar path of peace after strengthening its military; Australia values cooperation with Japan in defense, energy, and economic security.
Although South Korea and Japan still have historical disputes, they are also engaging in practical cooperation on energy, supply chains, and North Korea.
China believes that Sanae Takaichi's remarks on the Taiwan issue and Japan's military buildup have damaged the political foundation of relations between the two countries.
Most Southeast Asian countries trust Japan, but they do not want the region to split into opposing blocs.
Overall, Japan still places its alliance with the United States at the center, while strengthening ties with South Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia to increase its foreign-policy options.
However, it is still difficult to determine whether Japan can truly gain more independent room for diplomacy.
