According to the Daily News, when last year's self-government party president elections entered the second round of final voting, forming the confrontation between Shapiro Mou and the high market,ÝÑÒåΰ andThe fountain goes in. both chose to support Shapiro, driving their respective forces to vote, which contributed to Shapiro's victory.

After the election, Koizumi was appointed as the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party's election countermeasures. Less than a month after taking office, the Liberal Democratic Party failed in the House of Representatives election last October, and Koizumi resigned. In May this year, against the background of soaring rice prices, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Jiang Tengtuo resigned because of a gaffes, and Koizumi was appointed as a "firefighter" in danger. Measures were taken to effectively alleviate the rice shortage, but it touched the "cheese" of Japan Agricultural Association.

After this year's Senate election, when the wind of "falling down the stone" blew in the Liberal Democratic Party, Koizumi initially kept a distance from this force, saying that he would do his duty as a cabinet member. However, in late August, his attitude changed subtly. When asked if he wanted to hold the presidential election in advance, he replied that "he should seriously consider dealing with it as a member of parliament". When asked about this sensitive topic again on September 3rd, his response was further clarified, saying that "the reorganization within the party is very important and corresponding actions must be taken".

At the end of August, Xi Jinping also visited the World Expo in Osaka with the representatives of the Opposition Japan Reform Party and Osaka Governor Yuanming, who visited the exhibition venue in Osaka. In the face of the media, the two praised each other and showed a good relationship. For the self-government party that now rule as a minority, the ability to handle the relationship with the opposition party to show the path to stabilize the regime is an important test for the party leader. The interaction between Xi Jinping and Yuanming is interpreted as seeing the Japan Reform Party as a potential cooperative object.

Shigeru Ishiba resigned, why did he step down? Who will be the successor?

Recently, there have been one earthquake after another in Asian politics. The Thai Prime Minister has just been replaced, and the Japanese Prime Minister has been dismissed again.

As an influential power figure within the Self-Democratic Party, the withdrawal of Sharapova is not only a major turning point in his personal political career, but also reflects deep contradictions within Japanese politics, but also brings more uncertainty to the future Asian political pattern.

Japanese Prime Minister Shikoku Resigns

What did he do wrong

On September 7th, local time, the press conference was held to announce the resignation of the party president, less than a year after he was elected.

Shigeru Ishiba once bluntly stated in his autobiography "Conservative Politician: My Policy, My Destiny" that if it was his turn to be prime minister one day, it would be when the Liberal Democratic Party and Japan were in a serious crisis deadlock.

A prophecy.

The public reason for Shigeru Ishiba's resignation is to take responsibility for the fiasco in the Senate election in July, and the root cause is the difficulty of how to choose the development path of Japan.

At the beginning, he also wanted to become a "reformer", a big job.

Therefore, on the one hand, he tried to use some soft words to "please" China in exchange for China's ban on the import of Japanese water products, but on the other hand, he did not want to blame the United States, and also often cooperate with the United States on sensitive issues such as Taiwan, the South China Sea.

In this regard, the U.S. "New York Times" believes that the statements of Shapiro Mou in Washington have made China "extremely dissatisfied". China has lost patience with his "disparity" approach, China-Japan relations have rapidly warmed, trade barriers and diplomatic coldness have emerged.

And Trump's tariff barrel, but also the stone broke into the abyss. The content of the new trade agreement between Japan and the United States was exposed, the pot was directly blown up in Japan. The word "trade agreement" on social platforms provoked the nerves of the Japanese people.

At the moment when the competition between great powers is becoming increasingly fierce, the "strategic ambiguity" space of medium-sized powers is being sharply compressed. When economic security and military alliance cannot be balanced, the stepping down of political leaders often becomes the final solution to divert contradictions.

The high market is more radical than the rocks.

Who will be the successor?

With Shigeru Ishiba's stepping down, all political forces have been eyeing up.

Within the Liberal Democratic Party, takaichi sanae has the highest voice. Last year, she competed with Shigeru Ishiba in the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party, and almost won. This time, she made a comeback.

This woman is a typical conservative right wing, the stance is more radical than the stone broom. she dared to go publicly to visit the Yakuza shrine, not only once.

She also shouted all day to "strengthen national security". To put it bluntly, she wanted to make Japan's military power stronger. He even publicly stated that if something happens across the Taiwan Strait, Japan should "fight a hot war" with China. Just like a figure living in the pile of old papers in the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle".

In addition to the high-market early plantation, there are also the potential candidates ofThe fountain goes in. andÁÖ·¼Õý.

He is the son of the former prime minister, Xiao Jian, and is a "second generation of officials", but in the outside world, he is only a product of Japanese political idolatry, can speak a beautiful environmental slogans, but can not come up with any viable policy.

In contrast, technocrats like Lin Fangzheng may understand economy and diplomacy, but what they know better is the survival rules of this system. They know that any reform that tries to shake up the rules will eventually be crushed by the rules themselves.

Because now the prime minister of Japan has long lost his substantive rights as a national leader. He is more like a professional manager, responsible for coordinating factions, appeasing bureaucrats and pleasing the United States, but he doesn't need to be responsible for the future of this country.

Where is the Middle Day?

Shigeru Ishiba's resignation is just a regular drama of power alternation in Japan's political arena, and Japan's inner-party division, economic weakness, predicament of being constrained by the United States, and passive situation in Sino-Japanese relations will not disappear with his departure. This so-called "political earthquake" is more like a mirror, showing the true appearance of Japan's current dilemma in the international pattern.

The fall of Shikoku may be a sign that Japan's right-wing forces will regain power.In the future, if Japan's politics pursue the "Japan priority" path, it may meet some popular opinion in the short term, but in the long run, this practice will make Japan increasingly isolated on the international stage.

History has long proved that over-reliance on nationalism and foreign adventure will only drag Japan into a deeper predicament.

Regardless of how the Japanese political situation changes, China has always had sufficient strategic preparation and will not be disturbed by external provocations.China has been firmly committed to promoting the stable and healthy development of China-Japanese relations, but also resolutely defended its core interests and will not make any concessions on principle issues.

The United States can not "save" Japan, look directly at history and acknowledge history, only so can Japan come out of the illusion and struggle for more space for itself.
