Is Japan's political world going to change?The high-cost in the market, which led to the rally, what signals were released?
Recently, the Japanese government and the Liberal Democratic Party are coordinating on convening a provisional parliament on the 15th of this month to elect a successor to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. According to Japanese media, on the 15th, a new prime minister will be elected by name and a new cabinet will be formed. The new president of the Liberal Democratic Party elected on the 4th will likely become the new prime minister of Japan. If this is the case, then the candidate for Japan's new prime minister has basically been decided, and the candidate is most likely to be Japan's former Minister in charge of Economic Security Harahiro Takichi. Because according to a recent poll results, High Market Early Lines ranks first with 34% support.Second is Japan's Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Aquaculture, Xiao Jing, with a support rate of 25%.
International public opinion is also very concerned that Takashi Hayashi can lead Japan's polls. The main reason for this is that she is one of the representative figures of Japan's right-wing politicians and has visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times. She has been elected to parliament eight times, served as a cabinet minister for five years, and was the first to visit the Yasukuni Shrine during Abe's cabinet. Now she can lead the polls, which obviously releases a signal that the rising trend of right-wing forces in Japan is becoming more and more obvious.Prior to this, she had publicly stated that if she became prime minister, she would visit the Yasukuni Shrine as the new prime minister of Japan, and planned to amend Article 9 of the Constitution to change the Self-Defense Forces into "National Defense Forces". From her words, it is enough to see her ambition.
You should know that the essence of the Yasukuni Shrine issue is whether the Japanese government can correctly understand and deeply reflect on the history of aggression, whether it can abide by its statements and commitments on historical issues, whether it can abide by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, and adhere to the path of peaceful development. It is a major issue of right and wrong related to aggression and anti-aggression. However, she was able to lightly say that she would "visit the Yasukuni Shrine as the new prime minister" and change the Self-Defense Force to the so-called "National Defense Force." If she finally really became the new prime minister of Japan, the Japanese militarist restoration process will definitely accelerate, which is definitely not good news for the surrounding countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
However, although sanae takaichi is currently leading the polls, there is still a view that she still faces a big challenge if she wants to take the position of Japanese Prime Minister, because if the Liberal Democratic Party loses more than half of the seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, it wants to form a coalition government, she lacks the ability in this respect. From this point of view, the fact that takaichi sanae wants to become Japan's first female prime minister is still full of uncertainty. But in any case, no matter whether takaichi sanae can become the new prime minister of Japan, the first thing the Japanese government should do is to face up to and reflect on the history of aggression, be cautious in words and deeds on historical issues such as the Yasukuni Shrine, and completely cut off militarism. This is the root of the problem.
Just as the Gaoshi early seedling poll was leading the way, Shiba Shiba was thinking of launching a "last shot" before leaving office. So what was Shi Duomao's "last fight"? To put it simply, it is "examination and reflection on the war."To explain this matter clearly, the timeline has to be set back to 1940. At that time, Takio Saito, then member of the Constitutional Civil Party, criticized Japan's aggression against other countries and opposed the Japanese military's expansion of the war in a speech. He denounced the Japanese government for "ignoring national sacrifices in the name of jihad." However, most of the content of these speeches was deleted. In recent years, Shigeru Ishiba has publicly mentioned this speech many times, emphasized its significance, and even planned to restore the deleted content.
In the view of Shikoku, Shikoku’s discourse was deleted as a “political failure to stop the country from going to war” and the content of the deleted speech was restored, helping to reflect the reflection of Japan’s history of militarism, “if not telling the truth, the country will go to decline.” From this point alone, Shikoku’s starting point is clearly good. However, the problem now is that although the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Social Democratic Party and other opposition parties are active in restoring the bills, there are differences within the People’s Party. Whether Shigeru Ishiba can stick to "examining and reflecting on the war" by restoring the deleted content will become the "last attempt" before the end of his regime.If takaichi sanae is really elected as the new prime minister, it will definitely be even more difficult, or almost impossible, to restore the deleted content.
