in the context of "no factions", the presidential election of japan's ruling liberal democratic party came to an end on the afternoon of september 27, local time, after a nine-person melee.shigeru ishiba, one of the top three leaders in early polls and former secretary-general of the liberal democratic party, was successfully elected after two rounds of competition and will serve as japan's new prime minister and form a cabinet.the 67-year-old ishiba shigeru has run for office many times and has been defeated repeatedly. now he has realized his lifelong wish in the "last battle of his political career."
as a veteran politician, will his future path to power be smooth sailing? chen yang, a visiting researcher at the japan studies center of liaoning university, said that although shigeru ishiba was successfully elected as the new president of the liberal democratic party, the road to governance in the future will not be smooth. first, he lacks a stable support group within the liberal democratic party. ishiba has always been well-known in japanese society, but he is not welcomed in the liberal democratic party. in particular, the abe party of the liberal democratic party can be said to hate ishiba very much. therefore, in the future, it cannot be ruled out that "anti-ishiba" forces such as the abe faction of the liberal democratic party will try their best to interfere with ishiba's governance and even seek to unseat him. this may be a bit similar to former prime minister yoshihide suga, who also served as the president and prime minister of the liberal democratic party as an independent member of the liberal democratic party. in the end, he had to step down because of the lack of his own support group.
in terms of diplomacy, what impact will shigeru ishiba, who has always been known for his pragmatic and balanced stance, have on japan after he comes to power? chen yang said that shigeru ishiba is a senior politician with rich military and security policy experience and is known for his pragmatic and calm diplomatic style. he prefers dialogue and diplomacy to solve problems than some more nationalistic politicians. as prime minister, ishiba shigeru may adopt a more flexible and prudent attitude towards sino-japanese relations to avoid intensifying conflicts, especially on issues such as regional security and so-called territorial disputes. sino-japanese relations may remain relatively stable, with certain aspects eased and improved to a certain extent. on historical issues, ishiba does not publicly visit the yasukuni shrine or take a hard-line stance like some right-wing politicians. his relative moderation and restraint may prevent sino-japanese relations from falling into tension again due to historical issues. he may prefer to ease the historical trauma between the two countries and enhance understanding between the two peoples through cultural and people-to-people exchanges.
