沖繩長期是日本反戰反軍備力量最強的地區,美軍基地議題歷年來主導知事選舉。玉城丹尼執政8年持續反對基地建設與軍事部署,並多次訪問中國。此次選舉被視為對高市早苗政權經濟與安全政策的民意檢驗。
日本沖繩縣知事選舉結果近日出爐,由高市早苗政權支持的古謝玄太,擊敗執政8年的現任知事玉城丹尼,且不僅大勝還創下沖繩知事選舉史上最高得票紀錄。資深媒體人矢板明夫對此提出3點分析,直言高市首相推動減稅、振興經濟以及強化國家安全的路線,正在得到更廣泛的支持。那些等著看高市倒台的人,恐怕又要失望了。
矢板明夫在臉書發文指出,日本沖繩縣知事選舉於13日出現歷史性結果。高市早苗政權支持的42歲新人、前那霸市副市長古謝玄太,擊敗執政8年的現任知事玉城丹尼。古謝拿下423,124票,約59%得票率,不但大勝,更創下沖繩知事選舉史上最高得票紀錄。

矢板明夫直言,這雖然只是一場地方選舉,但對日本政局、東亞局勢以及台海安全,都有非常重要的意義。他為此也提出3點分析。
第一,沖繩的政治傳統正在改變。沖繩長期是全日本反戰反軍備力量最強的地方,「反對美軍基地」幾乎是歷屆知事選舉的主旋律。但這一次,共同社出口民調顯示,選民最重視的,是「經濟活性化」,占到49.5%。把「基地問題」放在第一位的只有20.9%。
尤其18歲到30多歲的年輕選民,超過7成支持古謝。比起繼續高喊反基地、反戰爭,更多沖繩人開始關心所得、物價、工作機會,以及地方經濟的未來。
第二,這是高市早苗首相的一場重大勝利。沖繩一直是日本最反自民黨的地區之一,自民黨已經連續輸掉三次知事選舉。這一次終於在12年後奪回縣政,而且不是險勝,是創紀錄的大勝。
矢板明夫指出,最近一直有人期待高市支持率下跌、政權跛腳,甚至早日下台。但現在連最難打的沖繩都拿下來了,證明高市推動減稅、振興經濟以及強化國家安全的路線,正在得到更廣泛的支持。那些等著看高市倒台的人,恐怕又要失望了。
第三,對台灣來說,這也是一個好消息。 沖繩不是普通的地方。日本最西端的與那國島距離台灣只有約110公里,從與那國、石垣、宮古到沖繩本島,正是日本西南防衛與美日因應台海危機的最前線。
矢板明夫表示,玉城政府長期反對美軍基地建設,也反對日本強化西南諸島軍事部署。玉城丹尼曾經訪問北京、見中國總理李強,也多次警告不要讓「台灣有事就是日本有事」的論述,使沖繩再次成為戰場。
矢板明夫強調,但今天的東亞,已經不是幾十年前的東亞。當中國軍機、軍艦不斷在台灣與日本西南諸島周邊活動時,如果沖繩成為美日安全合作最薄弱的一環,受到威脅的不只是日本,也是台灣。
矢板明夫提到,古謝接受普天間基地移設邊野古基地,也對中央政府強化西南諸島防衛採取更現實的態度。今後日本強化第一島鏈防衛,地方政治上的阻力勢必降低。
矢板明夫直言,9月13日改變的不只是一個沖繩縣知事。它象徵沖繩12年的政治路線出現轉折、高市政權更加穩固,也讓台灣東北方的安全防線更加完整。

Japanese lawmakers and business leaders are visiting China this week to improve bilateral relations ahead of the November Apec summit in Beijing, but analysts say the efforts will have limited impact unless Tokyo sends a clearer signal from the top leadership to mend ties, which have been strained since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's November remarks framing a Taiwan contingency as a survival-threatening situation allowing for collective self-defence.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell returned to the Capitol on Monday after a three-month absence due to a fall at his Washington home.

The campaign headquarters of Wei Pingzheng, the candidate for Changhua County Mayor of the Kuomintang, was established on September 6. Party Chairman Cheng Li-wen and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan went to support the campaign. However, the current County Mayor Wang Huimei did not attend and only sent flower baskets. The chairman of the campaign headquarters is vacant. This reflects the structural contradiction between the party central committee and the local governing team in terms of the rhythm of nominations and the continuity of governance. Local integration has become a key issue.
