背叛高市早苗？日本经济再现负增长，各界组团请求访华“续命”

Group 1 - Japan's economy experienced a significant contraction, with real GDP falling at an annualized rate of 1.8% in Q3 2025, marking a return to negative growth for the first time since Q1 2024 [1] - The economic downturn is attributed to a combination of external demand shrinkage and weak domestic demand, exacerbated by ineffective policies and diplomatic failures [3][20] - The U.S. has raised tariffs on Japanese imports from 2%-3% to 15%, severely impacting key industries like automotive, which has a profit margin of only 7%-8% [5][9] Group 2 - The decline in the automotive sector has a domino effect on related industries such as electronics and steel, leading to a broader economic downturn [7] - Personal consumption, which constitutes a significant portion of Japan's economy, only increased by 0.1% in Q3, with growth slowing considerably compared to Q2 [9] - Structural issues, including labor shortages due to an aging population and declining birth rates, are contributing to long-term domestic demand weakness [11] Group 3 - The Japanese government has proposed a massive economic stimulus plan worth 21.3 trillion yen, but it is unlikely to alleviate market concerns due to the current inflationary environment [13][14] - The focus on military spending, with defense expenditures rising to 2% of GDP, diverts resources away from addressing pressing economic issues and undermines growth potential [16][18] - Japan's diplomatic tensions with neighboring countries, particularly China, have created uncertainty in trade relations, which could further harm the economy [22][24] Group 4 - The historical success of Japan's post-war economy was largely due to a focus on economic development over military expansion and maintaining good relations with neighboring countries [26] - The current trajectory of military buildup and diplomatic provocations is seen as a misdirection that fails to address underlying economic challenges [27][29] - A sustainable recovery for Japan's economy will require confronting structural issues such as industry layout, demographic changes, and debt burdens rather than relying on military spending and aggressive foreign policy [29]
