The Influence Of Japanese Liberal Democratic Faction Politics On Sino-Japan Relationship In The Century

Both China and Japan are influential countries in the world， since1990，more and more conflicts and issues appeared which brought negative influenceto Sino-Japan’s good border relationship and peace of Asian areas. Among thoserestrictive factors， I put more attention on Japanese unique politicalstructure---Faction politics. The faction politics has restriction on choicebehavior and thinking logic of Japanese political leaders， also does to thetrend of social politics and foreign relations. So Faction Politics is the keyto understand Japanese politics and relationship between Japan and China.In November1955, Japan’s original two conservative parties, the LiberalParty and the Democratic Party, merged to form the Liberal Democratic Party(short for LDP). The Liberal Democratic Party Faction also originated in theseparties, and gradually formed major Factional series. Factional politics of theparty and even the formation of domestic and foreign policies of the Japanesegovernment and Evolution have an important impact. Japanese LDP factionalpolitics based axis played as a ‘balancer’role of political objective toprevent the rigidity of the Liberal Democratic Party organization to ensure thatthe LDP has a multi-level structure to form a unified opinion to play a positiverole, but also generate the adverse consequences and influence of money politics,‘darkroom politics’. The Liberal Democratic Party in order to always be thedominant force in Japanese society, from the political, economic, cultural andother aspects of reform. This reform is not so much the political parties andpolitical reform, as it is of LDP factional politics in the party system reform.Junichiro Koizumi announced as one of the candidates for president of theLiberal Democratic Party in2001, from the Mori faction, flaunting the bannerof breaking the factional politics drawbacks, which is so-called ‘Koizumichange’. After came to power, Koizumi break the original Japanese many of theold order by ‘reforming’, including Japan’s domestic politics and foreign relations, and the LDP ‘mainstream’ and ‘non-mainstream’ major reversal.In recent years, Japanese politics basically has been an active advocator ofenhanced armaments, to amend the constitution changed to ‘Machimura faction’,after the pro-Taiwan and anti-communist ‘non-mainstream’(‘Yoshiro Morifaction’ controlled by the Liberal Democratic Party changed to ‘KoizumiParty’), Koizumi’s Liberal Democratic Party Faction relations changedfundamentally. The reversal of the Factional status LDP lead to changes inJapan’s domestic and foreign policies tendency, especially in China policy,Koizumi stressed that Sino-Japanese strategic interests of the major issuesrelating to security and stability in East Asia and even the world, there aremany, to be taken to improve Japanese relations, actively establishfuture-oriented strategic partnership in the day, to maintain economic and traderelations with China. While regards China as a strategic rival China to takea tough situation, to contain China’s growing clamor for the ‘China threattheory’, even at the cost to carry out the political confrontation. This therightist large country route had a serious negative impact on the politicalfoundation of Sino-Japanese relations, which let the relations between the twocountries drop to the freezing point.After Koizumi, the leader of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party as well asthe Japanese Prime Minister constantly changed in the resurgence of factionalpolitics. Shinzo Abe as LDP to cultivate the younger generation of the hawkishpolitical leaders and representatives of its former Ren Xiaoquan the‘accomplice faction, have membership Yoshiro Mori faction within the LDP. Abeand Koizumi is closer in ideology and domestic and foreign policies. Abe,Japanese nationalist, got the upper hand of the important social basis. Abe’sview of China has two sides, in order to repair the cooling caused by the extremelyKoizumi era, Japan and South Korea diplomatic relations, he positive changeshave occurred on a number of major issues: visits to the Yasukuni Shrine to takefuzzy strategy; oppose ‘Taiwan independence’, presented to China to take ‘policy and economy two turn togerther. Prime Minister Abe’s successful visitto China and Sino-Japanese relations in the new century to seek an importantsymbol of the changed again. Less than a year, Abe stepped down, and Yasuo Fukudacabinet. Fukuda took office on behalf of the Koizumi era truly ended, representfactional politics back to the Japanese political arena. Fukuda never deniedthat he Factional human, although he and Koizumi, Abe belong to the same FactionalHowever, Koizumi’s dictatorial, aggressive, collision policy and the fullimplementation of neo-liberal reforms, leading to the split of the middle class,and a threat to the Liberal Democratic Party foundation. Fukuda regime is ofLDP veterans Factional leaders coordinated, a correction of the LiberalDemocratic Party of Koizumi’s political mainstream LDP Koizumi reform areactionary. Fu-Tian Duihua relatively moderate stance, during his tenure,radical countries normalization "route mild ’off the postwar regime replaced;the footsteps of the one-sided U.S. policy gradually oriented ‘AmericanPie’and ‘Asian camp’ balance policy; due to historical issues and the chaosof Sino-Japanese relations began to gradually return to ‘abandon the past, justnow’ the traditional system, and the emergence of a rational, pragmatic wayto deal with China and Japan are the most sensitive issues new pattern. TheJapanese politics soon reassert waves, Taro Aso, to take over the office of thesame in less than a year of Yasuo Fukuda. Compared with moderate rational YasuoFukuda, Taro Aso, is a well-known representative of the Japanese hawks, beforehe served as Prime Minister of Japan, often outspoken extreme right-wing views,repeatedly cater to the right-wing forces in Japan published a radical anti-Chinarhetoric, landscaping World War II, Japan’s history of aggression and deny theNanjing Massacre, at the enraged, South Korea and other Asian countries. TaroAso, as a politician, his departure from the development of the overall situationof the national economy and the stability of the LDP’s ruling status, thepolitical foundation of the challenges during his tenure, and maintain thestability of Sino-Japanese relations and East Asia, and maintained on China’s economic and trade development, and the interests of the Sino-Japanese effortsto establish a mutually beneficial relationship, the more prominentcharacteristics of the two sides of Aso era of Japan’s policy.After the Liberal Democratic Party stepped down, the Sino-Japanese relations,on the whole point of view, gradually went across the color of the interestsof the political parties in Japan and at the policy level, is the formation ofbilateral major structural positioning of the ‘national interest’.Sino-Japanese relations will continue to be the impact of Japan’s political andtraditional Japanese factional politics, but the Democratic Party in thenational interest, hope and maintain a stable relationship with China and otherAsian countries. It is expected that China and Japan maintain the forwardmomentum of the twists and turns in the relations between the two countries,especially when Japanese economic growth and development have increasingdependence on China.
