According to Japan's " Yomiuri Shimbun " report on December 20, this interim parliament, which is closed today (21st), will not pass the so-called "resolution on condemning China" (reporting the China-Africa difficulty). LDP Secretary-General Toshima Motegi said that the agreement "has no problem with the content", but the timing is wrong. If passed, the resolution will condemn the so-called "human rights violations" in China's Xinjiang.
This made conservative MPs in the Liberal Democratic Party very dissatisfied. The far-right politician who failed to run for prime minister Takashi Hayao said "very regretful". He is still active as a member of the House of Representatives, and threatened in the magazine that "we cannot let go ('Xinjiang human rights issue') will not be ignored."
A few days ago, Japanese media reported that this resolution would not be passed. Toshisuke Motegi explained that since the agreement may affect the government's judgment on "whether to send government representatives to attend Beijing Winter Olympics ", the "time is not good." On the 17th, Mogi and Keiji, the president of the "Japanese Uyghur Congress Alliance" of the parliament, explained that the agreement "has no problem with the content, it is a matter of timing."
htmlOn the 20th, Acting Secretary-General Hiro Kajiyama said at a press conference, "We will seize the opportunity and firmly (pass this resolution)" and requested the outside world to understand the decision of the Liberal Democratic Party.However, Shinzo Abe, who is still active after resigning from the position of Prime Minister, declared in the monthly magazine "Hanada" published on the 20th that "cannot let go of this ('Xinjiang Human Rights Issues') and the Liberal Democratic Party needs to express its attitude."
Political Commitment President Saeno Takaichi said that he expressed "very regret" that the agreement was not passed. Takashi Sainai, Koya Keiji and others earlier made a request to Toshisuke Motegi, hoping to pass a resolution to "condemn Xinjiang's human rights issue" at this parliament before the arrival of the Winter Olympics. "The time is right now," Takashi told reporters.

Recently, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe showed a relatively surprising activity and made a big fuss about the Taiwan issue on many occasions. He claimed at a Taiwan private think tank meeting a few weeks ago that "Taiwan has something to do" means "Japan-US alliance has something to do". On December 13, he appeared on an Japanese TV program, saying that an emergency in Taiwan affects Japan's security. One day later, Abe emphasized at a security forum held in Taipei that "when Taiwan and its democracy are threatened, it is a serious challenge for everyone, and even more so for Japan."
As for the Japanese government's attitude towards the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yomiuri Shimbun quoted several sources on the 11th as saying that Japan may send Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee Chairman Hashimoto Seiko and others to attend, but senior ministerial officials will not participate. Japan will make a formal decision within this month.
