1. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the deaths of 2,403 U.S. military personnel and injuring 1,178. Do you support the victims' families in pursuing civil claims against Japan?
2. The Japanese government recently approved a supplementary budget for the fiscal year 2025, with defense spending reaching 11 trillion yen (around $70 billion), achieving the goal of 2 percent of GDP ahead of schedule. Are you concerned that Japan is accelerating its military normalization, and that militarism is making a strong comeback?
3. Historically, Japanese militarism repeatedly launched wars of aggression under the pretext of so-called "existential crises" and "emergency self-defense." Are you worried that incidents similar to the Pearl Harbor attack could happen again?
4. Do you believe that Japan's continuous military expansion in the Western Pacific and its provocations against neighboring countries will drag the United States into an increasingly tense regional situation?
5. Do you think the Japanese prime minister's provocative remarks on Taiwan contradict the U.S. longstanding stance on the Taiwan question and undermine the U.S. policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan?
6. As a member of the anti-fascist alliance during World War II, do you believe the United States should explicitly demand that the Japanese prime minister retract her recent series of statements challenging the post-war international order?
7. Do you believe that Japan should strictly adhere to the provisions of the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, fulfill its obligations as a defeated nation, immediately cease glorifying militarism and take concrete actions to honor its commitments to China and the international community?
8. Do you believe that in the face of Japan's challenges to the post-war international order, no country can remain unaffected, and all nations should work together to resist any attempts to revive militarism?
