Expert: Be alert to the right -wing of Japan

On the morning of July 8th, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who made a street speech in Nara, was shot. According to Japanese media reports, Abe has died. As an important politician who serves as the position of prime minister and leads the largest faction of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, Abe's assassination will be expected to set off a chain response in Japanese politics and even the international community.

Japanese experts interviewed by a reporter from the Global Times on the 8th believe that the right -wing forces may use this incident to make an article to exacerbate the trend of conservativeness of the overall Japanese politics. Such policies, accelerating the pace of NATO's entering East Asia, bringing more security risks to the geopolitical politics of Northeast Asia.

When the assassination of the 8th, Abe was conducting a vote for the Senate election that was about to be held on the 10th. According to Japanese media reports, Abe was shot from the rear by the gunman, and the suspect was a 42 -year -old man. It is not clear that the man's murder is yet to be murderer.

Director of the Northeast Asia Research Institute of Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, Koshigang, told the Global Times reporter on the 8th that Japanese politicians were assassinated in Japan. It was not the last time that it would not be the last time. However, due to the extremely important influence and appeal of Abe in Japanese political scenes, and his statement in the situation in China and the situation in the Taiwan Strait, his assassination was particularly concerned by all parties.

Abe has been the official residence of the Prime Minister from 2006 to 2007 and 2012 to 2020. It is the longest prime minister since the formation of the Japanese modern cabinet system. In September 2020, Abe stepped down as Prime Minister's post in advance due to health problems. Since then, he has played an important influence in Japanese politics.

Lu Yaodong, director of the Foreign Research Office of the Japan Institute of Social Sciences, analyzed the Global Times reporter on the 8th that as a representative of the conservative forces in Japan, Abe's assassination incident may stimulate Japan's right -wing forces to a certain extent. Although the political tendency of the assassin himself has not yet been seen, a almost certain fact is that Abe's assassination will not only stop the overall conservative trend of Japanese politics, but may strengthen this trend to a certain extent.

Lu Hao, deputy director of the Comprehensive Strategy Office of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also said that Abe not only leads the largest faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, but also the "spiritual leader" of the conservative forces within the party and even the political circles. To make a big article, all kinds of conspiracy theories inevitably do the best. Losing Abe will not have a substantial impact on the right -wing forces. Instead, it will stimulate it to adopt radical means and promote political goals with populism, exclusive colors, and even extreme.

"This time, Abe to Nara is a propaganda for the Liberal Democratic Party's constitutional amendment." Lu Yaodong analyzed that under this situation, Abe's successor may take the banner of "inherit the legacy of Abe" to speed up the constitutional amendment process Essence Koshikang also mentioned that Japan will immediately hold a Senate election. Abe's assassination may become a "symbol" that allows the conservative forces represented by the Liberal Democratic Party to obtain more sympathy votes for Japanese people. In addition, Japanese nationalism may be further strengthened due to this incident.

At the same time, Shi Zhigang said that Abe's assassination will also cause the transform in Japanese politics, because this incident is directly related to who will take over the largest faction of Japan's largest political parties. This Japanese issue expert believes that the reorganization of Japanese politics will have an impact on international relations including Sino -Japanese relations, the United States and Japan relations, and even the relationship between Japan and NATO, especially in Japan to put its diplomatic influence to "India" and even Europe in Europe and even Europe. On the occasion of extension.

Lu Yaodong believes that it is expected that Abe's successor and supporters will continue to promote Abe's "free and open Indo -Pacific" and "active participation in the four -sided mechanism" policy, and accelerate the pace of NATO's enters East Asia, bringing more security to the geographical politics of Northeast Asia in Northeast Asia risk.
