Yeah they need China. Otherwise who is going to manufacture all the Gachapon toys and anime figurines?

So how long is he going to sit in office?

Personally I kind of have a feeling that he’s going to do something good (improve the economy, deal with the country’s international issues perhaps) and if he’s boosting manga/anime markets while he’s at it, who’s to complain! X)

[...] the prime minister of Japan. If you don’t know who he is yet, google Rozen Aso or just read DarkMirage’s post on him. Whether this will be good or bad for the country, I couldn’t say, but [...]

I can’t believe I misspelled his name (that’s what I get for posting at 5.00 am)

His prime directive at any rate is Japan’s economic restructuring, especially in the face of the recession that just hit.

But beyond that, he’s not exactly been the most tactful politician when dealing with China. Abe’s prime directive was to improve ties with China, but even they were worried when he visited the Yasukuni Shrine. Taro Aso has visited the shrine several times and was pretty vocal against the verdict of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal.

Still, China-Japan ties are extremely important to Japan in this day and age. Hopefully it turns out for the better.

Beside foreign policy, I wonder will Aso take a different approach from his party in shoring up domestic issues and the economy where several social problems have been shattering the reality that most outsiders and perhaps Japanese themselves have of Japan which is an egalitarian and peaceful society.

Personally I think Aso isn’t that different from most LDP politicians, who no doubt think the same things but leave them unspoken. I doubt he’ll really do much to worsen the ties. Abe was assertive about the whole revival of Japan thing, and the first thing he did after taking office was to improve ties with China, which was pretty much the only thing he did.
