At a time when Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is anxious about the "black gold incident" of the Liberal Democratic Party, there are powerful figures in Japanese politics who have come forward to criticize Fumio Kishida, and he is also a trusted acquaintance of Fumio Kishida. According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, recently, former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga bombarded the current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in an interview, emphasizing that it is because Fumio Kishida has not taken his own responsibilities that there is such a situation today. In addition, Suga also emphasized that Fumio Kishida has lost the trust of the people because of the "black gold incident", and more and more people have begun to dissupport Fumio Kishida for the post of Japanese prime minister. Regarding Suga's statement, Kyodo News believes that it is "de facto calling for Fumio Kishida to step down."
It should be understood that Fumio Kishida was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan in September 2021, a position that will expire in September this year for a term of three years. Before the expiration date, the LDP will hold a new LDP presidential election by September. According to Japan's political structure, the person who is elected leader of the ruling party will automatically become the new prime minister of Japan. Based on this, on the eve of the upcoming presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, Yoshihide Suga suddenly stood up to criticize Fumio Kishida, and he was not optimistic about Fumio Kishida's re-election, which inevitably made people suspect that this was an early cut with Fumio Kishida. Why? Because the two were both members of the Liberal Democratic Party's Koikekai faction, and after the outbreak of the "black gold incident", Suga became the top adviser to the "Political Innovation Headquarters" established by Fumio Kishida.
According to common sense, the relationship between the two should be relatively close, but the reality is that Suga began to publicly criticize Fumio Kishida, which can only be interpreted as not holding out any hope for Fumio Kishida's re-election, and will dissociate himself from him in advance. It is conceivable that Fumio Kishida will naturally not sit still, and will use a series of measures to deal with Suga's "defection".
In addition, in order to be re-elected, Fumio Kishida will also use all means to win supporters or attack competitors. Therefore, it is very likely that the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan will expose a lot of amazing "big melons" during this time, so everyone can watch the play patiently. In addition, some netizens believe that if Fumio Kishida is "ousted", will Sino-Japanese relations be better if someone else is in power? Judging from the polls, most of the Japanese politicians who are qualified to replace Fumio Kishida are pro-American, and even many are right-wing politicians, so no matter who comes to power, Sino-Japanese relations are unlikely to improve. We must always have a sober understanding that in the eyes of Japanese politicians, the importance of US-Japan relations is much higher than the importance of Sino-Japanese relations. In the current environment, friendship with China is equivalent to friendship with the United States. The answer is clear to anyone with a discerning eye. Therefore, we should look at the next Sino-Japanese relations rationally.
