自高市早苗一年前就任首相以来，其在X（原Twitter）上的帖文中，提及外国公民或移民的回复数量激增，尤其是从上月下旬开始出现显著增长。
The number of replies mentioning foreign citizens or immigrants to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s posts on X has surged since she took office a year ago, with a notable surge starting late last month.
有些情况下，即使首相并未提及涉及外国人的政策，针对移民的评论也会被反复发布。
In some cases, comments against immigrants were repeated even when the prime minister did not mention policies pertaining to foreign nationals.
这些回复似乎表明，日本民众对在日外国居民的关注度与焦虑感正在上升。截至6月底，在日外国居民人数达到创纪录的428万1026人。
These replies appear to suggest a growing interest in and anxiety about foreign residents in Japan, whose number reached a record 4,281,026 as of the end of June.
自去年10月21日就任以来的一年间，高市共在X上发布了868条帖文。据共同社使用社交媒体分析工具Brandwatch进行的调查，截至周五，这些帖文共有150万2698条回复，其中提及外国公民或移民的有11万2481条，占7.5%。
Over the year since her inauguration on Oct. 21 last year, Takaichi has made a total of 868 posts on X, formerly known as Twitter. As of Friday, there were 1,502,698 replies to those posts, with 112,481, or 7.5%, of them mentioning foreign nationals or immigrants, according to a Jiji survey using the social media analysis tool Brandwatch.
相比之下，首相本人帖文中包含上述任一词汇的仅有16条，占1.8%。
This compares with only 16, or 1.8%, of the prime minister’s posts that included either term.
9月27日，高市发布帖文说明涉及外国人的政策，包括收紧永住资格取得要求。
On Sept. 27, Takaichi posted an explanation of policies related to foreign nationals, including tightening the requirements for obtaining permanent residency.
当天，涉及外国人的评论数量从前一天的216条跃升至4908条。
The same day, the number of comments related to foreign nationals jumped to 4,908 from 216 the previous day.
许多评论表达了对社会保障制度负担加重的担忧，也有评论提出毫无根据的说法，称外国公民逃避起诉的案件过多。
Many comments expressed concerns about increased strain on the social security system, and some made unfounded claims that there are too many cases in which foreign citizens escape indictment.
在此之前，单日涉及外国人的回复数量超过1000条的仅有八天。然而，截至9月30日，该数字已连续四天超过1000条。
Before that day, the daily number of replies related to foreign nationals had exceeded 1,000 for only eight days. However, the figure exceeded 1,000 for four consecutive days through Sept. 30.
获得最多涉及外国人相关评论的高市帖文，内容是关于确保儿童安全。
The post by Takaichi that received the most comments related to foreign nationals was about ensuring the safety of children.
该帖文发布于10月18日，与外国公民无关，介绍了防范儿童上下学途中遭遇犯罪的计划。
This post, published on Oct. 18, was unrelated to foreign citizens and introduced a plan to prevent crimes when children commute to and from school.
尽管如此，在对该帖子的所有回复中，有 6,505 条评论（超过一半）提到了外国人或移民。这些评论大多声称政府的移民政策威胁儿童安全，并主张日本应停止接纳移民。
Nevertheless, 6,505 comments, or more than half of all replies to the post, mentioned foreign nationals or immigrants. Most of these comments claimed that the government’s immigration policy threatens the safety of children and that Japan should stop accepting immigrants.
Brandwatch 的分析显示，在所有提及外国人或移民的回复中，负面评论的数量约为正面评论的三倍。
The Brandwatch analysis showed that negative comments were about three times more prevalent than positive ones among all replies mentioning foreign nationals or immigrants.
高市政府成立之初，负面与正面评论大体相当，但此后负面评论的比例持续上升。
Initially, negative and positive comments were balanced after the launch of the Takaichi administration, but the proportion of negative comments has been increasing.
