Japan’s new right marching in a muscular direction
New powerful right-wing bloc favors military spending, territorial assertiveness and constitutional revision
The conservative, populist Japan Innovation Party, or
Ishin no Kai, nearly quadrupled their seats from 11 to 41.
For Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, this means the JIP is now a force to be reckoned with – and perhaps bargained with.
For Chinese President Xi Jinping, the arrival of the JIP is cause for concern.
One initiative the JIP-DPP leaders are agreed on is likely to be watched with a hawkish eye in both the Koreas and in China – all of which retain strong memories of Japan’s past militarism. The parties agreed to promote the debate on constitutional reform in the Constitutional Review Committees of both houses of parliament.
“The Constitutional Review Board should meet every week,” Tamaki insisted. “We are paid to debate the issue, and there is no choice but to hold it.”
That would be a reawakening. For years, the board held sporadic meetings, but real debate about changing the constitution in the Diet barely got off the ground.
Previously, only the LDP had championed the belief that Japan’s post-war pacifist constitution, written by America, should be revised. It was a long-held ambition that prime minister Shinzo Abe was unable to accomplish, or even make significant headway on, during eight years in office – the longest term of a sitting, post-war Japanese premier.
On the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, the JIP believes that Japan should “strengthen its effective control over the islands through the exercise of administrative authority.”
The LDP has avoided touching on the emotive issue in recent years because Japan is increasingly dependent on tourism from China. Almost 10 million Chinese tourists visited Japan in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing to improved bilateral sentiment.
Those numbers, however, have dropped to about one-ninth, and Japan’s image among the Chinese has deteriorated significantly in recent years.
According to Genron, a Japanese non-profit think tank, 66% of Chinese respondents said they have an “averse” or “somewhat averse” perception of Japan. This is an increase of about 13 percentage points from the previous survey in 2020.
If China isn’t happy with Japan, the JIP may not care.

Qué duda hay que la mierda posmo permea a todo el planeta. Me parece excelente en todo caso que haya un partido con respaldo popular y "suficientemente irreverente" que diga cosas que muchos callan. Hasta se podría tirar líneas con lo que le pasa a Kast acá.
Como sea, Japón siempre será un país al que hay que mirar y estudiar.
再见!
