two minutes after the beginning of this interview -
Reporter: Democratic Party of Japan government recently According to Japanese media briefing, your membership even though the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party House of Representatives, but, and Naoto Kan is a good friend, many ideas are the same. Please talk about your views on Naoto Kan, and predict the life cycle of the regime .
Koichi Kato: Naoto Kan as prime minister, did the Democratic Party can bring a lot of popularity. However, this popularity may be due to minor setback or a little something to immediately crash or disappear. So, Democratic Party of Japan to want to stay in power down, the best way is to use existing popular Naoto Kan, seize the time to do a good job on July 11 Senate election preparations.
today (June 12) morning, you must see it. nationals New Party Party, Shizuka Kamei, announced from the federal ruling Naoto Kan, the Cabinet resigned. The Democratic Party just from the ruling coalition Hatoyama Yukio cabinet to resign, in fact, also led to Hatoyama Yukio cabinet end of life. Now, the National Party, New Party to the resignation of the regime to maintain the joint approach, in fact weakened the base plate of this new regime.
power of the base plate from the point of view, the conservative Liberal Democratic Party can be said to have a base plate, especially in regional society. Naoto Kan of the Democratic Party or the power to the site to support his basement mainly some opposition Democratic Party. Therefore, to see the Liberal Democratic Party power has been weakened, while the strength of the Democratic Party while Naoto Kan also weakened, his popularity will disappear. So, as long as the storm a little bit small, and his political power base will be a huge swing. Now, the LDP and the Democratic Party is not much difference between the policy. If there is any difference to say that I just talked about the political power of the base plate. Naoto Kan, one step wrong, gets out of control, we must lose seat The.
Reporter: the last 4 years, Japan has replaced the four consecutive prime minister, not to the year of their term of office. It is rare in international politics in the history of the phenomenon. In the past, former Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa has said, Japan has lost its national development goals. to see the Japanese to know, from the Meiji Restoration, Japanese gradually raised the . to 1955, the Japanese also an anti-communism, against the tide of socialism. At that time, the entire international community in the Cold War confrontation between the two forces. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, became a symbol of the Cold War, China began reform and opening up policy, the kind of rigid communist color thin, the taste fades out. this period, Japan has undergone great changes, the LDP one-party dominance of the collapsed. where is the country's development goals, sometimes confused them. clear In some ways even beyond the EU family. So, how do the Japanese do in the future? should set a new target of what it should be in what direction development? these, the Japanese have not been thoroughly discussed and studied to start. < br> Japan is the non European countries against globalization, which first met (Anti-globalization), after globalization (Post-globalization), post-modern era (Post-modern ages) of a national. Therefore, Japan's national development the direction of the answer is not so easy to find. Now, we feel as if gradually found a direction to solve these problems, but because Japan is now the political parties lack of personality, hardly able to assume responsibility of the political party of national development, it will appear the phenomenon of frequent replacement of the Prime Minister.
Reporter: July 11, the Japanese Senate elections will be held. At present, the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, continue to split the Liberal Democratic Party, some have set up a new party, the media said that the Party of Japan has entered a new forest of Koichi: For the July 11 Senate election, I personally think that the Democrats lack the ability to rule a country, so the Senate will not win the general election too. However, the LDP is also a lack of new things, not people take the eyes and ears of one mind policy, so the LDP is not going to win. So, the Senate election could be the emergence of a winner is neither absolute nor the result of absolute losers. Japan would be a Now, Japan has been in the Senate after the elections, said political parties in Parliament to form federations to send, and some said that after the Senate election, which was spun off from another group of Liberal Democratic Party, New Party. This .
Reporter: There is such an analysis, that the major failure Hatoyama Cabinet diplomacy in the United States that it takes the Cabinet to do an analysis of foreign policy.
Koichi Kato: I think your point is right. Hatoyama government's foreign policy ideas are not clear. For the very ambiguous. If you oppose, then it should study what will be Japan's own defense policy, research in Japan without the U.S. said Hatoyama did not mind 5 years, 10 years after Japan's defense policy, although he resigned when he was waiting to cross the 5 years, 10 years later, people will feel the benefits of his administration. If Japan really wants to take independent security policy, then to the peninsula and other regional security issues, to make more effort. However, I do not see any way Hatoyama security policy formulation process. that he can not see the implementation of the policy direction of security policy . Also, I am inhibition Hatoyama fully understand the problem, just like the feelings of their own to solve the U.S. military in Okinawa Futenma relocation of the airport, only relying on how the emotions that the people of Okinawa, to difficult to place a heavy burden, He thought so that you can easily solve the problem the U.S. military airport, so naive as to think so you can put the U.S. military airport relocation outside Okinawa or abroad.
for this reason, the Democratic Party regime in charge of policy formulation to give people A sense of pride. They come from the LDP regime that arrogant prejudice that politicians in the LDP are being manipulated by government bureaucrats, and those bureaucrats in the development of policy, they only consider the interests of individuals or groups , to consider their own future retirement issues and problems after leaving office. The Democratic Party government bureaucrats do not know who these government agencies is to have very rich knowledge and experience. The Democratic Party believes the so-called agency bureaucrats have the final say, can not follow these bureaucrats take the baton, to engage in The real lack of wisdom and knowledge. This is also the Democratic Party of Japan's foreign policy failures of the important reasons.
Reporter: Recently, on the surface, Sino-Japanese relations has been greatly developed. However, if taking into account the joint development of the East China Sea gas field , *** sovereignty, Okinotori reef is to be What do you think of this?
Koichi Kato: I think now most Japanese do not think China is a threat, even though China has a considerable number of nuclear weapons, has a huge army, but did not attack his country's intention, that is, that China's military capacity has been attacked, but no intention of attacking other countries. However, in recent years China's military expansion is constantly advancing, so giving the impression that China is implementing the policy of a military power doctrine. China is now every year double-digit military budget increases, but also began manufacturing aircraft carrier, but the Japanese do not understand why China, that is, what is the purpose to do so. So, we hope that the information in this area of China to be more transparent. this regard, relatively strong public opinion in Japan.
I remember seeing two or three years ago, when Chinese leaders, he said, the increase in China's military spending and military spending increases are targeted at the problem. I remember when I was meeting with Chinese leaders Li Changchun fifth person inside. Mr. Li Changchun met with foreigners does not seem normal, so when I raised this issue, he answered me very carefully. I think the increase in military spending if China is to solve the Taiwan issue, it should clear the problem. In the context is not clear, more than ten per cent per annum increase in military spending, let the Japanese have to worry about.
common on the East China Sea oil and gas field development, I think this is an economic problem, as long as Japan and China to fully consult with each other, we will be able to find a starting point to solve the problem. So, to jointly develop East China Sea gas field issue territorial issue is not so much better to say that ultimately a problem of oil and gas field development, is an energy problem.
Reporter: You are now a large group of Japan-China Friendship 7 inside the head of the Japan-China Friendship Association. Now there is an argument that the Japan-China friendship organizations of the historical mission has ended, your perspective on this issue?
Koichi Kato: Japan and China restored diplomatic relations in 1972, before the economic exchanges between the two countries, exchanges are actively promoting Japan-China friendship groups to carry up under tough. Now, China and Japan smooth development of relations, if not Japan-China friendship groups can also be carried out smoothly between the two countries economic and trade, cultural exchange has. From this sense, the historical mission of the Japan-China friendship groups is over.
However, as at Chinese characters are used in both countries, as many of the characters is actually not the same understanding. In fact, Japan and China is not a lot in common, such as lifestyle, communication and so on. So, I think in the future 30 years or 50 years, the Japan-China friendship groups can also communicate with the national feelings of the two countries to do more things, its historical mission is being given new content, there are still viable.
end of the interview, the reporter asked Mr. Koichi Kato, a souvenir signed. He wrote the brush summer, as opposed to Mr. Koichi Kato, former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited the Yasukuni Shrine, his old house in Yamagata Prefecture is Japan's right-wing set on fire. His 97-year-old mother was almost killed. Still, all this does not allow Mr. Koichi Kato, a strong politician who change their ideas, he still described on various occasions with their own views, and to cautious attitude to express their views.
