[People News] On December 5, 2025, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi (Takaichi Sanae) and her cabinet publicly disclosed all assets belonging to each member and their families. This cabinet came to power on October 21, and this disclosure is a required procedure completed one and a half months after taking office.

Sanae Takaichi’s personal assets: She reported a total of 32.06 million yen (about 1.46 million RMB), ranking 10th among the 19 cabinet members.

On December 7, a major online influencer known as “Professor Huang” posted a message with just one short sentence: “Sanae Takaichi has disclosed her assets.” Below the text was a photo of Takaichi. It was precisely this extremely tiny post—because it touched on the highly sensitive topic of officials’ asset disclosure that Chinese netizens care deeply about, and because Sino-Japanese relations were tense— that triggered an uproar among the public. In just 19 hours, it garnered 7,899 comments and over ten thousand likes.

Netizen “Solitary Fisherman on a Cold River” wrote: “I happened to pass by and read 6,958 comments. Astonishingly, they all said the same thing.” Another wrote: “A rare moment of unified voices.” “Push this up—don’t let it disappear.” “My fellow citizens, you are finally awakening.”

The author read 7,550 comments one by one and felt the same way. Occasionally there were outliers, but the number was so small it was negligible.

We all know that official asset disclosure is a powerful weapon for fighting corruption. A total of 137 countries worldwide, including Vietnam, have implemented it.

But in China? Despite repeated proposals in the National People’s Congress, despite overwhelming public demand, the CCP—corrupt to the bone—fears asset disclosure like a tiger and refuses to implement it. The Chinese people bear deep resentment toward the CCP. And Takaichi’s disclosure inadvertently provided a vent for Chinese netizens, who immediately unleashed full-force criticism at the CCP.

So, what remarkable comments did netizens make? Let’s take a look.

Takaichi’s Cabinet Asset Disclosure Unintentionally Hits the CCP’s “Fatal Weakness”

Some may ask: What is the CCP’s “fatal weakness”? In the eyes of Chinese netizens, officials’ asset disclosure is one of the CCP’s fatal weaknesses— something the CCP will never do even unto death.

The logic is simple: The CCP wants to confront Japan, but now Japan has made the move of “disclosing assets,” and the CCP cannot respond at all. Just like how the CCP couldn’t respond to Ayumi Hamasaki’s (Hamasaki Ayumi) no-audience concert in Shanghai and ended up in total embarrassment—

“This move by Sanae is ruthless; it leaves our guys unable to step down!” “Wow, too ruthless—totally impossible to counter.” “It’s over, this move is too deadly.” “This move is poisonous! She wins this track for sure!”

“Not following the script—this hits the fatal point, and they simply can’t respond.” “She knows your weakness; every move hits the throat— victory is already clear.”

“She struck our fatal spot at such a sensitive moment. How do we fight back? Calmly or rolling on the ground?”

“This one move by Sanae Takaichi makes the opponent unable to claim to be ‘standing on the right side of history’! Completely silenced.”

“We thought she’d hand over a ladder, but instead she dug the pit deeper. What now? Headache.”

“This is more powerful than a nuclear bomb.” “More lethal than intervening in the Taiwan Strait.”

“They’re starting to use real moves—this is far more powerful than warships or aircraft carriers; foreigners understand us extremely well. More moves will follow—let’s see how this side ends.”

“Haha, everyone is siding with Takaichi on this one.”

“Barbarism cannot shake civilization.” “Thought all night and still didn’t know how to attack—please give an answer.”

“An open-scheme trap with no solution. I may dislike the Japanese, but this move is brilliant—truly impossible to counter.”

“The simplest, most ordinary move is a chasm we cannot cross.” “This Japanese woman is smart! You've scared the opponent so much they don’t even dare lift their head.”

Takaichi’s Assets — Comparison Shows She Has Even Less Than a Tobacco Bureau Cleaning Lady

As Japan’s prime minister, Takaichi’s personal assets total only about 1.46 million RMB, astonishing Chinese netizens. Compared with CCP corrupt officials, this is unbelievable. Comparing across levels—from county chiefs to township heads to village heads—many netizens concluded she may have less than a “tobacco bureau cleaning lady”—

“Looks like our county chief would crush her, haha. Come on—let’s disclose ours.”

“Forget higher levels—just send a deputy director in charge of procurement at a top hospital; that alone could crush her.” “Even a regular clerk could crush her.”

“Regardless of other views, this is admirable—worthy of praise. And we are still far from achieving this. Probably even a township mayor has more wealth than Takaichi.”

“This amount is probably equal to a village Party secretary.” “A village director here could defeat hundreds of Takaichis—representative example: a village director under Changxindian.”

“A department chief in a central SOE laughs.”

“The tobacco bureau canteen cleaning lady laughs!”

Takaichi’s Disclosure Surprises Those Who Previously Squinted at Her

Due to years of CCP anti-Japan propaganda, and due to Takaichi’s sensitive remarks on Taiwan after taking office, many Chinese held negative views of her. But this asset disclosure allowed them to see her merits. In other words, Takaichi’s action resonated with Chinese hopes for officials to disclose assets—establishing the justice and legitimacy of such demands—

“If you’re doing this, then I must say I admire you a bit for this matter!” “Not saying anything else—just for her asset disclosure, a thumbs-up!”

“She has many faults, but her courage in disclosing assets is the one thing worth learning. One must be upright to wield iron.”

“I really dislike her. But honestly—any politician who dares disclose their assets is a good official to their own people.”

“This is the one and only thing for which I’ll give Sanae Takaichi a thumbs-up. This should indeed be learned.”

“She may be annoying, but she is a clean and honest official. For this alone—thumbs-up.”

“I don't like this person, but disclosing assets—this is explosively admirable!!”

“Not sure whether I should praise her this time! Just because of her asset disclosure.” “Basic respect for any politician who discloses personal assets!”

“Although I oppose Sanae Takaichi, on asset disclosure I give her 100% support! Only politicians without selfish motives can fully serve the people. With officials like this, Japan’s strength is inevitable.”

See? These Chinese netizens are beginning to switch sides emotionally and cognitively.

Japanese Prime Minister Gains Chinese Fans

Compared with those who criticized then praised her, others’ comments sound as though they’ve become Takaichi fans. A routine anti-corruption procedure required by Japanese law has unexpectedly earned her genuine admiration from Chinese netizens—highlighting their deep resentment toward the CCP’s absolute refusal to disclose assets—

“A clean, upright prime minister who serves the country and the people—there’s nothing left to attack!”

“The light of civilization shines!” “Thumbs-up for Little Gao—well done!” “Uncorrupt, clean and upright—this is a ‘good official’!”

“For this alone I won’t downvote her.” “Good job—we support you!” “Sanae Takaichi, I approve.”

“Act upright, govern transparently—how could the people not support you?”

“Over 70% approval rating—definitely real.” “Suddenly not annoyed by this woman anymore.”

“Setting aside historical hatred and national sentiment, Takaichi is a decent prime minister.”

“Thumbs-up for this person, I have nothing more to say.” “This time I quietly put down the brick in my hand.”

“Seriously—only a little over a million RMB, two cars—my goodness!”

“Old Gao! Which of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is this?” “Sanae Takaichi is awesome—I vote for her.” “Nothing more to say except thumbs-up!”

“Equivalent to the assets of an ordinary Chinese family. A poor prime minister—truly a representative of capitalism.”

“She’s a tough woman. A gentleman is open and upright.” “Only people who are clean, selfless, and without greed dare challenge the powerful!”

“I suddenly like her…”

CCP Foreign Ministry’s Wolf-Warrior Phrases Become Netizens’ Satire Material

Among the thousands of comments, many netizens mimicked the CCP Foreign Ministry’s wolf-warrior tone and clichés used at press briefings. Their words were full of mockery, sarcasm, dark humor—quite hilarious—

“We urge Sanae Gao to withdraw the disclosed asset information, turn back before it's too late, and work with us in the same direction. Do not go further down the wrong path; we resolutely oppose her disclosure and will take countermeasures!”

“The gravity of this matter is equivalent to a declaration of war. We must retaliate firmly. We solemnly warn Sanae Takaichi not to continue on the confrontational path. She must withdraw the erroneous disclosure and apologize deeply to the Chinese people.”

“Hmph! The diplomat cast a contemptuous glance at her, calmly and sharply saying: ‘No comment. Behave yourself…’”

“This is the bottomless provocation of evil capitalism. We strongly protest and urge Takaichi to retract her improper action immediately, or we will retaliate in kind.”

“Do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors. Regarding Sanae Takaichi’s asset disclosure, you may ask her directly; we have no comment.”

“We do not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs. Next journalist, please.”

Fearless of Censorship — Some Comments Even Hint at Xi Jinping

As the collapsing regime tightens censorship daily—keywords banned, detentions frequent—some brave netizens still speak up. Among thousands of comments, some posted pictures of Hu Xijin, Bai Yansong, and Zhang Weiwei—who routinely defend the CCP. Others used the “invisible hotpot” meme to tease Xi Jinping—

“Read. Distribute to provinces, cities, municipalities, county committees, county governments.” (mimicking Xi Jinping’s tone)

“Has Takaichi never published a book? Just the royalties shouldn’t be this low.” (alluding to claims Xi Jinping receives massive profits from state-funded book purchases)

“Representing the people in controlling all national assets.” (referring to Xi’s extravagant foreign aid spending)

“Lanlan smiles without speaking.” (referring to Yang Lanlan, the woman involved in a luxury-car crash rumored to be related to Xi’s family)

Conclusion

Narendra Modi’s anti-corruption: asset disclosure, currency reform, cross-border pursuit— corruption wiped out.

Xi Jinping’s “anti-corruption”: throwing bricks over a wall, swatting flies around a cesspit, theatrical cross-border pursuit— the more he fights, the more corruption grows.

Put Modi and Xi side by side— who is real and who is fake becomes instantly clear.

Facing a reality of top-down corruption—billions stolen, people squeezed to the bone with no recourse; facing the CCP’s “over my dead body” refusal to disclose assets—Netizens scolding the CCP is kicking its backside; praising Takaichi is slapping the CCP in the face.

On the same day Takaichi’s cabinet disclosed assets, Poland’s Constitutional Court issued a major ruling banning the Communist Party of Poland entirely.

The news came, and Chinese netizens applauded: “Eliminating cults is everyone’s responsibility.” “A cult must be banned—Poland has awakened!”

As a comment at the beginning said: “My fellow citizens, you are finally awakening!”

When all Chinese awaken, it will be the day the CCP ends.
