"Apparently, the step-grandchild of Sanae Takaichi, has started studying at a prestigious university in China this year. However, relations with China have not been good since the Prime Minister's remarks regarding a potential crisis in Taiwan. Studying abroad is certainly a matter of personal freedom, but there must be some who think, 'Of all places, why China...?'"
The report from his father——Takaichi's remarriage partner‘s son, Prefectural Assemblyman Yamamoto, came just before his departure for his studies abroad, and it came as a complete surprise. Although he is not her biological grandson, he is undeniably a relative to Prime Minister Takaichi. It's not surprising that the Chinese side might think they can use this to their advantage over the Prime Minister. In some cases, he could even become a target for Chinese operations, so those around the Prime Minister are worried," said a source in Nagatacho (Japan's political district).
