Five people on the show canvassing<\/p>\n
In the run-up to the presidential election on October 4th, the five candidates have been working hard to increase their exposure to the media. And their related remarks and performance has become a hot topic among Japanese netizens.<\/p>\n
In an online Sports Hochi Broadcast Sunday, five candidates were asked to answer the question \u201cWhat kind of country do you want Japan to be?\u201d In English. Lin Fangzheng and Mogi minchong, who both studied at Harvard, answered in English, while Takashi Saomori, Shinjir? Koizumi and Kobayashi mostly answered in Japanese. The Shinjir? Koizumi, with a master’s degree from Columbia University, insisted on answering in Japanese and was teased by the host as \u201cNot speaking a word of English, very ‘Yamato Soul’\u201d.<\/p>\n
Some Japanese netizens questioned the Shinjir? Koizumi, saying Takashi had a master’s degree from Columbia University and Kobayashi had a master’s degree from Harvard. Takashi also worked as a researcher for the Democratic House of Representatives in his early years, these 3 people wear the title but even speak a minute or so of impromptu English can not do, did not go to the United States to study, research is a waste of effort?<\/p>\n
At the end of the program, the host also asked: \u201cPlease point out the person who is suitable to be president besides yourself.\u201d. But in the end, only Lin Fang is pointing to Mogi minchong, other candidates did not respond, the atmosphere was cold.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that Kyodo News reported on the 28th that when asked whether he would continue to visit the Yasukuni shrine if he became Prime Minister, the Fuji Television’s program was broadcast the same day, \u201cAfter the execution of the sentence, the war criminals on trial will no longer be criminals and will want to visit [ the Yasukuni Shrine ] no matter what,\u201d he said, \u201cThe Yasukuni shrine is not intentional, but based on a list sent by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare after a legislative process,\u201d Takashima told the media, according to the report, \u201cIt is a political responsibility to create an environment where people, including the royal family, can visit without barriers,\u201d he said, describing the former prime minister’s Yasuhiro Nakasone to promote \u201cSacrifice sharing\u201d among class-a war criminals. Mogi minchong also agreed with Lin Fangzheng.<\/p>\n
Chen Yang, a visiting researcher at the Center for Japanese Studies at Liaoning University, said in an interview with the global times on the 28th that the Yasukuni Shrine had been visited by early Miao in Gaoshi many times before, during the presidential election, at one point she was vague about whether she would continue to visit after her election, and her latest change of attitude was clearly a\u201cPolitical stunt\u201d aimed at gaining\u201cFurther firm\u201d support from conservative, anti-china forces in the party, lin is a change from the previous evasive attitude, asked to promote the Yasukuni shrine\u201cSacrifice\u201d, the ultimate goal is to win over the Liberal Democratic Party of the middle and moderate.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet good reviews.\u201d\u201cTell lies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Koizumi’s campaign public relations chief and former Digital Minister Takeshi Makashima’s office in Hualian has sent e-mails to supporters, according to a report in the Japanese Weekly Wenchun magazine, they were asked to praise Koizumi in a message on a video website and to provide a \u201cReference example\u201d, not only was he my natural candidate, he did all the dirty work, he was a changed man, there have also been\u201cDon’t lose to pseudo-conservatives\u201d and other offensive innuendo about other candidates. The Shinjir? Koizumi held a press conference on the 26th to acknowledge the incident and publicly apologize for it. Hualian also resigned as head of public relations on the 26th.<\/p>\n
However, questions about the integrity of the Shinjir? Koizumi continue to grow as \u201cPlease withdraw from the presidency\u201d becomes a hot topic on social media. In the face of criticism, Koizumi closed the comments section of Social Platform X and insisted he would continue to run.<\/p>\n
Another candidate Takashi early Miao also because of his speech caused controversy, was accused of speech content and facts. Japanese \u201cAsahi Shimbun,\u201d said Komoshi had always kept a low-key position, but in the 22-day political speech will strive to show \u201cUnique style.\u201d. According to the Tokyo News, Takagi claimed to be a \u201cWoman from Nara\u201d and cited deer in his hometown of Nara as a reference to the frequent harassment of foreigners visiting Japan, it has been repeatedly stressed that a stricter policy on the management of foreigners should be implemented. Some of her remarks were subsequently questioned as untrue. \u201cWe patrol the Nara Park at least twice a day and there is no violence,\u201d the park’s management said<\/p>\n
Some analysts believe that both the \u201cHigh praise\u201d of the Shinjir? Koizumi and the \u201cFalsehood\u201d of Hayashi in Takashi show that the \u201cPolitical sensibility\u201d of Japanese voters is changing, the younger generation’s emphasis on integrity and transparency could influence future forms of political participation and prompt a re-examination of online election propaganda by the LDP.<\/p>\n
There are variables to the election<\/p>\n
According to LDP election rules, this election has a total of 590 votes, of which 295 LDP parliamentarians each one vote, ordinary party members and\u201cParty friends\u201d or registered supporters around the proportional conversion of 295 local votes. If a candidate obtains a majority of the votes cast in the first ballot, he or she shall be directly elected; if no candidate obtains a majority, the first two votes shall proceed to the second ballot. In the second round of voting, 295 LDP mps each held one vote, and the 47 LDP branch federations in prefecture of Japan each had one vote.<\/p>\n
According to the latest poll results released by the TV Asahi and Kyodo news agency on the 28th, the President of the Liberal Democratic Party Shinjir? Koizumi, Hayashi Koichi and Yoshimi Lam are leading in the polls. Kyodo news agency said Koizumi, who has an advantage in the parliamentary vote, showed a tendency to expand support in the local vote.<\/p>\n
However, according to Japanese media analysis, there are still uncertainties in the election. The TV Asahi reported that the attitude of dozens of lawmakers was still unclear and that the \u201cFavorable\u201d comments from Koizumi’s camp could also affect his election. Kyodo news agency said that since the first round of voting in the candidates are likely to be unable to get more than half of the votes, so it is likely that the first two candidates will go to the second round of voting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
