(Original title: The Japan Public Party no longer cooperates with the Self-Democratic Party)

In the afternoon of the meeting with the new president of the Party of the People's Republic of Japan, CaoÊÐÔçÃç, the leader of the Party of the People's Republic of Japan, Ziyu Tifou, expressed his intention to "disconnect from the governing alliance framework".

Early speech picture.

According to Japanese media reports, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party held consultations on the continuation of the joint ruling by sanae takaichi and Tetsuo saito on the 7th of this month. However, due to the issue of "politics and money", the concerns raised by the Komeito Party failed to be eliminated, so the relevant decision of the coalition agreement was postponed. Against this background, the Komeito Party held a central director's meeting yesterday (October 9th) attended by the top leaders of the party, and decided to hand over the judgment of "whether to continue to govern jointly" to Saito Tetsuo and the secretary general of the Komeito Party.

Saito Tetsuo held talks with sanae takaichi this afternoon, saying that the Komeito Party decided to withdraw from the coalition because it did not get a satisfactory answer on the issue of "politics and money".

It is that after the Communist Party withdrew from the joint rule, in the upcoming prime minister nomination elections held in the Japanese parliament, the Communist Party will vote for Zidane.

The Komeito Party joined the ruling coalition formed by the Liberal Democratic Party and the then Liberal Party in 1999. Even after the Liberal Party withdrew, the two parties continued to govern together. The two parties became opposition parties after the Democratic Party came to power in 2009 and returned to power in 2012.

Media: Whether it will continue to visit Yasukuni? China is waiting for the high market to figure it out for itself

After a lapse of one year, the Japanese Prime Minister will be replaced again. This time, the Liberal Democratic Party elected takaichi sanae, who is known as a hard-line hawk. As far as the Chinese people are concerned about, I'm afraid this Ms. Takashi, who has paid high-profile visits to the Yasukuni Shrine all the year round, will continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine after taking office as prime minister.

Historically, because of the Japanese prime minister's persistence during the term, it has repeatedly hurt the Chinese people's feelings and undermined the political foundation of China-Japan relations. Just last year, High City also declared that "even if elected, it will continue to worship."Al she has changed strategy during this year's campaign, repeatedly blurred and avoided giving a clear answer, the "time bomb" remains high.

Many experts shared their views on whether she would continue to visit the shrine with Observer. com. Da Zhigang, a researcher at the Institute of Northeast Asia Studies of the Heilongjiang Province Academy of Social Sciences and chief expert at the Institute of Northeast Asia Strategic Studies, believes that Gaoshi will choose to avoid important issues and downplay issues. It will not be as arrogant as in the past, and it will be inappropriate to overemphasize the issue of paying homage. Sha Qingqing, a columnist and historian at Observer Network, believes that it is not ruled out that she will visit the Yasukuni Shrine as president of the Liberal Democratic Party before officially taking office. A time difference will explain her right-wing fundamentals. Cai Chang, assistant researcher at the Center for Northeast Asian Studies at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, believes that Gao Shi will almost inevitably continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine after becoming prime minister and will not shy away from sensitive opportunities.

It is worth noting that a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in a statement addressing the victory in the election, in particular mentioned the hope that the Japanese side "will abide by its political commitments on major issues such as history and Taiwan."

The city must think clearly for itself.

Behind the ambiguity

Unlike the "what to say" in the last campaign more than a year ago, this time the market has learned to be ambiguous.

On September 19, the High City held a policy conference. When asked whether to continue to worship after being elected, she passed away on the basis of "currently still in the campaign phase."

On September 24th, at the candidate debate sponsored by the Japan Press Club, Goro Hashimoto, the special editor of the Yomiuri Shimbun, a conservative newspaper in Japan, asked Takaichi directly again: "Regarding the issue of visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, you were very persistent in visiting the shrine before, and made a clear statement (you will continue to visit the shrine). Why did you avoid it this time? Is it because you realize that it is difficult to achieve in reality, and you can't do it after becoming prime minister? Or is it just not to stimulate the opponents?"

Takashi responded: "I think the Yasukuni Shrine is a place where 'the comfort of the war dead' is the main place, and it is also a shrine to pray for peace. As for how to comfort the war dead and how to pray for peace, these must be properly judged."

She added: ¡°I am convinced that this should not be a diplomatic issue, nor should it be treated as a diplomatic issue.¡±

At the press conference after winning the election on October 4th, she still kept the same argument, and did not make a clear statement. She only said that "timely and proper judgment should be made, emphasizing that (whether to visit the shrine or not) should never be a diplomatic issue".

The Weekly Modern published on its website on October 2nd an interview with senior media scientist Sōhōraun, who also spoke about high-market early days. Sōhōra has a lot of private relationships with high-markets.

Susa: Ms. High City, you¡¯ve said before, ¡°Even if you¡¯re a prime minister, you¡¯re going to worship Yogyakarta,¡± isn¡¯t it?

Takashi: Last time (election), someone said that I lost because of this, and I was scolded for it.

So, are you not going to talk about this anymore?

High Market: I want to wait until I become prime minister and create a (appropriate) environment.

Shinohara: But in your mood, you still hope to visit the shrine, right?

Gao: I¡¯ve been praying all the time, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem, but someone wants to turn it into a diplomatic issue.

This is the real idea of the high market.

The Chinese side has said that there is a possibility, and these two issues cannot be overcome.

Regarding the election of Saami Takashi as president of the Liberal Democratic Party, a spokesman for the China Foreign Ministry said in response to questions from foreign media on the 4th that we have taken note of the election results and this is Japan's internal matter. It is hoped that Japan will abide by the principles and consensus of the four political documents between China and Japan, honor its political commitments on major issues such as history and Taiwan, pursue a positive and rational China policy, and implement the orientation of comprehensively promoting strategic and mutually beneficial relations.

It is worth noting that this statement is different from the previous statements made by Suga Yoshihide, Fumio Kishida and Shigeru Ishiba when they were elected. This time, China specifically mentioned that it hoped that Gaoshi would "keep its political commitments on major issues such as history and Taiwan Province".

On history and Taiwan issues, vague tactics may not work.

In addition to China, the Korean media generally expressed their worries at the first time they were elected in Gaoshi. On the evening of the same day, the conservative newspaper Chosun Ilbo published an article entitled "Will Korea-Japan relations light up a red light in the era of high city prime ministers?" The report set the tone.

According to the report, during Takashi's term of office, the possibility of a red light in South Korea-Japan relations has further increased, and the two countries may once again experience intensified confrontation on historical and territorial issues.

Not only abroad, but also in Japan, the high market is facing the torture of its ruling allies.

The Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party have reached a political alliance for more than 20 years. After Takashi was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party, Komeito Party representative Tetsuo Saito immediately met with him. At a press conference after the talks, Saito said that the Komeito Party raised three major concerns with him. The second point is "historical cognition and the issue of visiting Yasukuni Shrine."

Saito further emphasized: "Many supporters are worried about this. If these problems cannot be solved, there will be no possibility of forming a coalition government." Takashi reportedly responded: "I hope to dispel these concerns" and will hold consultations with the new leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party and senior leaders of the Komeito Party.

There is also a prominent figure in Japanese politics whose attitude towards Takashi's visit is quite interesting. He was Toru Hashimoto, who served as governor of Osaka Prefecture, mayor of Osaka, and one of the early founders of the Japan Restoration Association. On the one hand, he supports amending the constitution and supporting tough line with China, but on the other hand, he strongly opposes Takashi's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine.

During the campaign, Bridge expressed his views on television several times. Bridge said he did not have any particular objections to high-market politics, and the only objections were to worship Yogyakarta.

He strongly opposed the Japanese operations and behavior during the Pacific War: without any strategy, the army and the people mixed, the military command commands committed suicide when the final defeat was determined, and the people were ignored.

He said that he could fold his hands to ordinary soldiers, but he would never worship those war leaders and army commanders. In this case, going to visit the shrine is like paying tribute to them.

During this election campaign, the two men also broke out shouting from a distance.

In the TV show on August 10th, Mr. Bridge said: "Mrs. Gao said very hard about China on many occasions, but if she really had that courage and awareness, it should be taken out all the people in the self-government party with similar thoughts, and the party or the Japan Conservative Party group individual groups, but Ms. Gao did not do so."

On August 13, in response to the high market rejection, Bridge said again that no matter how now with "pro-China" and "Hiwei" to label others, when the prime minister of Japan must have a dialogue with China.

To pray or not to pray, that is the question.

Experts have different views on whether Gaoshi will continue to visit the shrine.

Da Zhigang, a researcher at the Institute of Northeast Asia Studies of the Heilongjiang Province Academy of Social Sciences and chief expert of the Northeast Asia Strategic Research Institute, believes that Gaoshi will maintain the status quo in some way, avoid important issues, play down problems, and will not be as arrogant as in the past. It would be inappropriate to overemphasize the issue of paying homage now. If Gaoshi pays homage immediately, he will not only encounter opposition at home and within the party, but also be questioned whether he has the qualifications to be a leader. Internationally, being criticized by China and South Korea and other countries is not conducive to the new government's diplomacy.

Sha Qingqing, a columnist and historian of Observer Network, said that Takashi is likely to refer to Abe. After taking office as prime minister, "people won't go, but sacrifices will arrive". In addition, there are still about 10 days before Takaichi becomes prime minister. It is not ruled out that she will go to the Yasukuni Shrine as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party before officially taking office. Play a time difference to give an explanation to her right-wing fundamentals.

The Chosun Ilbo report also mentioned that "some analysts believe that in order to take into account the voters who support her, it is more likely to pay a visit to the shrine at the beginning of her term of office".

Cai Chang, an assistant researcher at the Northeast Asia Research Center of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, said that although Takashi tried to downplay this issue during this election campaign, his consistent position and conservative support base made it difficult for him to give up visiting the shrine.

Cai Chang believes that Takaichi will almost inevitably continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine after becoming prime minister, and will not shy away from sensitive opportunities. As a staunch successor of Abe's political line, she regards visiting the shrine as a necessary ceremony to show Japan's sovereignty and political position. It can be predicted that the election of Takaichi will make the contradictions on sensitive issues in Sino-Japanese relations more acute. However, as a pragmatic politician, she is also well aware of the importance of Sino-Japanese economic and trade relations, and may maintain a certain degree of economic cooperation under a tough stance, forming a pattern of "cold politics and hot economy".
