[Global Network Comprehensive Report] Japan has established a new cabinet last week. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida appointed the "Kaihua School" former Minister of Culture and Culture, Yoshimasa Mitsumasa, the former Minister of Culture and Culture, and on the other hand, he remained as the defense minister Nobuo Kishi who served as the current position since the Suga Yoshihide government. Japan Kyodo News html published an article titled "Kishida diplomacy attaches importance to maintaining balance with the United States and China" on the evening of 314, saying that Kishida appointed these two people with different attitudes toward China, giving people the impression of attaching importance to balance. This move is intended to deal with the U.S.-China battle for advantages by reflecting the "Kishi-da color", but the article also stated that it is still difficult to predict whether this will be successful.
"Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself will never win a hundred battles. It is better to know the negotiating opponents than not knowing them. That's how I think." Kyodo News reported that when Lin Fang was participating in the BS Fuji TV program on the evening of the 8th before taking office as Foreign Minister, he responded with the content of China's " Sun Tzu's Art of War ". Kyodo News believes that this means to show that (Japanese) understanding of the facts of China is indispensable in negotiations with China.
report also said that as the importance of diplomacy to China has increased, Kishida is said to believe that Lin Fang, who has served as the chairman of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentary League since 2017 and has a connection with China, is the best candidate for the foreign minister. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe initially had questions about this personnel plan, but Kishida considered using Lin Fangzheng as the prerequisite for resigning from the above-mentioned president of the Joint Congress, and Abe then agreed to the arrangement. He told people around him that "this is a personnel arrangement arranged by the Prime Minister, there is nothing we can do." Lin Fang said at a press conference on the second day of his tenure and on the 11th that he would resign from the above-mentioned president, explaining that "to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
On the other hand, regarding Kishida staying at Ki Nobuo , Kyodo News reported that it first pointed out what Kishi Nobuo and the Taiwan authorities called "close relationship", and said that the Japanese Ministry of Defense set up a "meeting meeting to accelerate the strengthening of defense capabilities" on the 12th to hold a formal discussion in order to have "attack capabilities against enemy bases". Kishi Nobuo posted on Twitter saying that "it is considered an urgent situation and will move forward the discussion." In addition, in August this year, despite China's opposition, Nobuo Kishi, as the defense minister, visited the Yasukuni Shrine.
It is worth noting that Kisha Fumio will appoint former Defense Minister Nakatani Moto as the "Prime Minister's Assistant Officer" to deal with the so-called "human rights issues". This move is considered to be targeted at China. Kyodo News article commented that in terms of attitude towards China, there is "obvious temperature difference" between Nakatani Moto and Lin Fangzheng.
Kyodo News believes that from this personnel arrangement, we can see that Kishida believes that it is best to be a lineup that both the United States and China can accept. Japanese government sources analyzed that, "If they are all in convergence with China, it will lead to distrust of the United States, and if they are all hardliners, they will not be able to talk to China."
