Scholars: The divergence of public opinion and party will Choosing to become a faction decides politics
Chen Chen Yongfeng, director of the Japan Regional Research Center of Tunghai University in Taiwan, said in an interview with Radio Free Asia that most of the opinions of the Japanese nationals are quite different from the opinions of the Liberal Democratic Party.stableDetermine the strength. This time, the only faction that launched the presidential candidate, Kishida, was also elected as the faction. This shows that the faction has not weakened. Even if the younger generation has reforms, this is the enlightenment and core effect of this election.
Chen Yongfeng said,10moon4The new prime minister elected by the Japanese Diet must be Fumio Kishida, and even members who did not vote for Fumio Kishida in the presidential election will vote for Fumio Kishida at the time of the prime minister.
Chen Yongfeng analyzed that Fumio Kishida pays more attention to coordination and balance. He will be tough on the surface and will continue to maintain the Japan-U.S. alliance. Japan-U.S. security will also be strengthened, and he will think about Japan’s own independence, but he will not be like Shinzo Abe. Amend the constitution, or, like this time, Abe’s agent, Sanae Takaichi, slogans that Japan is more beautiful, stronger, and the economy is re-developing. It is hoped that the Kishida Fumio regime will be maintained for a longer period of time.
Chen Yongfeng also said that Kishida has a very powerful set of bureaucratic control.Kishida will soon face a reelection for the House of Representatives in November, and a regular reelection for the Senate in July of next year. Only after the second election can a long-term regime be created. Therefore, both internally and externally should be adopted.stableIf you do not rush forward, you can hope to change the current tension in relations with China, and you may be more coordinated.
Japanese media: Kishida’s pro-Taiwan line remains unchanged as prime minister Born in Hiroshima, pay more attention to peace and security
Akio Yaita, the director of the Taipei branch of the Sankei Shimbun, was interviewed by Radio Free Asia and assessed that as prime minister, Kishida will not change the “pro-Taiwan” line, and Abe’s influence remains strong.
Akio Yaita said: “Kishida is basically a centrist, he inherited Abe policy in foreign policy. Pro-U.S., supporting Taiwan, and resisting China. The general direction will not change. To be honest, in terms of security and national defense, because he was elected by Hiroshima, Hiroshima was attacked by an atomic bomb. He attaches great importance to the concept of peace. In terms of security, he Active actions may be weaker than the high market, may become a more moderate regime, and the general policy direction will not change. “
Akio Yaita mentioned that Kishida is a relatively bureaucratic person, and he does things quite well, and he has to look forward to new breakthroughs. It may not be particularly obvious, unlike the high market. All aspects of Japanese public opinion are still more accepting of Abe’s foreign policy. Kishida is a figure who values public opinion very much. There will be no major changes in this regard.
Li Jiajin, the former president of the East Asian Relations Association of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with Radio Free Asia that Kono has a good image in the local area, and that Kishida’s victory in the second round of voting was “poured” to Kishida. The Liberal Democratic Party presidential election is designed so that in the end it is the faction that decides the final politics. He believes that Shin Abe’s three strong support for the high market is an election strategy, “find a few people to accompany the list.”
Abe still has the role of “shadow dancer” How Kishida brought the Kono faction to the left and right of unity within the party
Li Jiajin mentioned that Kishida is the first Minister of Foreign Affairs to come back for the second time for Abe. His term of office is nearly five years. It can be said to influence and dominate Abe’s foreign policy. “The third highest city’s vote almost went to Kishida. The shadow dancer was Abe. After Kishida lost Yoshihide Suga last time, he ran diligently in the local area. On the one hand, Senator Hiroharu promoted himself and Abe’s foreign policy. With Abe’s amulet running around the local area, the international political influence of the new prime minister’s foreign policy can be understood by Abe.”
Li Jiajin pointed out that Abe’s policy is very clear, “political America, economic China”, and Abe hopes to invite Xi Jinping to visit Japan.LateWhat is not reached may be done by Kishida. Although the facts about the military exercises surrounding the United States and Japan are clear, it is the United States that is under the guidance of the flag, and Japan has to “be beautiful and look forward.” The relationship with Taiwan will be as close as Abe’s, even surpassed, and more platform-oriented. It will be shown to the American and Japanese people, and it will adhere to the implementation of peace in the Taiwan Strait.
Li Jiajin analyzed and applied for China to joinCPTPPFormally, Kishida adopts the same stance as the United States, and will privately agree with China’s accession, and will give China an olive branch and “step on two boats” toward China and the United States.
Li Jiajin mentioned that the important issue is how to gather and share positions with the people on Kono’s side after Kishida came up. For example, Koizumi Kinjiro, Shigeru Ishiba, who was not selected as the party leader for four times, and the current Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga They have all publicly supported Kono. This group of people still has considerable influence in the Liberal Democratic Party. On October 4th, the Prime Minister formed a cabinet to see what role Kono played in it. Otherwise, problems will arise in the unity of the Liberal Democratic Party.
