Japan's ** "black gold" scandals emerge one after another, and Japan's high-level officials rarely bow to China and apologize!
Recently, Japan's ** causeA number of LDPs** have resigned for violating regulations on political contributionspolitical scandals have frequently become the focus of the news. According to statistics, there were in the last month4 members of the Cabinet and 12 members of the CabinetResigned due to related scandals.
The outbreak of these events has led to a sharp increase in the LDP's support in the latest pollsThe lowest since 1960. This sharp drop in approval ratings has severely shaken the ruling foundation of Kishida's cabinet. If the "black gold" scandal cannot be quickly quelled,Kishida may face more serious political challenges, and Japan's domestic political situation may encounter greater turmoil.
Is there a political struggle between factions within the LDP hidden behind these scandals? Will Kishida's policy of closing factions really win the hearts and minds of the people?
Japan's Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima's recent visit to China has attracted a lot of attention on the international stage. The delegation's first stop was theThe Chinese Memorial Hall of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijingand in the museum to the Chinese warThe compatriots who died expressed their condolences and bowed and apologized。In the interview, Fukushima expressed deep apologies for Japan's past aggression and pledged that the SPD would resolutely defend the pacifist constitution and prevent history from repeating itself. This move squarely faced history and laid a good foundation for the visit to China.
Did these political scandals and the SPD's visit to China cause an uproar in Japan? As an opposition party, the SPD is also seeking an opportunity to crack down on the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) while strengthening ties with China?
During his visit to China, the delegation led by Mizuho Fukushima also held talks with high-level Chinese officials. The two sides reached a consensus on opposing Japan's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the seaA position of resolute opposition was expressed. This is an important step forward made by China and Japan on environmental issues. At the same time, Fukushima reportedly submitted a request to China** to ease restrictions on imported food and other goods from Japan. The SPD has expressed its opposition to the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea, and its position is also defending Japan's domestic interests.
Should such a request be met by China? Will easing countermeasures weaken China's negotiating position on this issue?
A delegation from Japan's Komeito Party also actively visited China and showed a friendly gesture on both sides. This shows that in the current process of gradual easing of Sino-Japanese relationsThe opposition parties in the Japanese Parliament, which are called "pro-China" or "friendly to China," have played an important role。The existence of these forces has brought a certain "spice" to Sino-Japanese relations, making them not completely subject to the hard-line stance of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. As far as China is concerned, the existence of these "friendly China" forces is more favorable.
In the face of internal and external troublesThe stability of the Kishida cabinet and the security of its position urgently need to rely on diplomatic means to stabilize the country**. In the coming period, Sino-Japanese relations may ease to a certain extent.
We also need to be wary of whether this short-lived "spring breeze" born of political necessity can be translated into lasting mutual trust and cooperation. Japan's current domestic political turmoil may have a certain impact on Sino-Japanese relations, but we should also seize the opportunity to strengthen communication and ties with Japan's opposition "friendly China" forces, and jointly promote Sino-Japanese relations onto a healthy and stable development path.
