26.07.2025 ⇢ Leader's Tariff Stance, Financial Crackdown, Espionage Sentences
⌹The day's editorial focus initially centered on Prime Minister Ishiba's domestic political standing, with reports of some external support contrasted by growing internal LDP discontent. Early reports confirmed Ishiba's decision to rule out a joint document on U.S. tariffs as details of the deal emerged, a key development in the ongoing trade discussions. As the morning progressed, a new significant domestic story emerged: financial authorities announced demands for robust cybersecurity measures from nearly all financial institutions, threatening service suspension for non-compliance following recent account hijacking incidents. Concurrently, international attention shifted to China's sentencing of nine Japanese nationals for espionage, alleging cooperation with Japanese intelligence agencies. By early afternoon, the political narrative intensified, with a prominent LDP figure openly demanding Prime Minister Ishiba's resignation.
