While meetings between national leaders are standard political prediction topics, specifying Sanae Takaichi (known for her conservative, hawkish stance in Japan) and Xi Jinping is a specific, somewhat niche geopolitical question.

The market currently prices a meeting by June 30 at 35%, which diverges from mainstream geopolitical analysis. Major think tanks (e.g., Toda Peace Institute) highlight that Sino-Japanese relations are highly strained, political communication channels have eroded, and there are no short-term signs of easing. Without natural multilateral opportunities like G20 or APEC before July, the probability of overcoming massive diplomatic hurdles to arrange a meeting within just two months is significantly lower than 35%.
