Japan's Takaichi moves toward snap election after only 3 months in office

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi dissolved the lower house of Parliament on Friday, paving the way for a Feb. 8 snap election. Elected in October as Japan’s first female leader, Takaichi has been in office only three months, but she has seen strong approval ratings of about 70%. Takaichi is also seeing rising animosity with China since she made pro-Taiwan remarks.
