"The new regime is intended to set up a huge policy change, and now action is to begin." 1 June morning, Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama of the Prime Minister's official residence to vague "change", said to reporters on whether his resignation questioning, that the attitude of the stay. Day, Hatoyama Cabinet tried to a banner of "change" under the banner of the Industrial Promotion road map to restore the people's fancy.
Hatoyama Cabinet has recently experienced an unprecedented power crisis. May 28, Hatoyama Cabinet agreed that the U.S. military will be located in Okinawa Prefecture, to the Futenma base to the edge of wild valley area, contrary to election promises. May 30, the Japanese Social Democratic Party insisted the Futenma issue in opposition and decided to quit the coalition government led by Hatoyama.
Japan's Kyodo news agency on May 30 released a public opinion survey, Hatoyama cabinet support rate dropped to 19.1% and 51.2% of the respondents believed that the Prime Minister Hatoyama Yukio should resign.
June 1 introduced the industry revive the road map is considered a critical situation for the last chance to restore the cabinet. The road map by the "revitalization of the Japanese fiscal year 2009 White Paper Manufacturing Technology" (hereinafter "White Paper") and "line of Japanese industry (draft)" (hereinafter referred to as "the Bill") composed of two documents. Japan-related economic officials told this reporter that the purpose of producing provinces by stimulating domestic demand and create jobs.
However, Peking University Professor Wang Xinsheng Japanese experts believe that this road map is difficult to fundamentally "change" the Japanese economy, it will be difficult to save the downturn Hatoyama support.
Industry Promotion Plan difficult to say "change"
"White Paper" shows that since 2002, had accounted for the largest share of Japan's electronics manufacturing output decreased gradually, and in 2007 was general machinery manufacturing and transportation equipment manufacturing beyond. By 2009, transportation equipment manufacturing industry has become a pillar industry in Japan.
In this context, "draft" of the introduction of Japan pave the way for future industrial development. In the "draft", the Japanese Ministry of Economy that the future of Japanese industry's five "core strategic areas", namely infrastructure, environment, energy, creative industries, public health and high-tech.
The economic officials told the Japanese newspaper reporter, "draft" itself is not intended export to the infrastructure, for example, METI aims to "create a 'whole of Japan (manufacturing)' the system and provide a stimulus burden" In the process, stimulate domestic demand, exports create jobs is more dominant than the expansion.
However, in addition to public health, the other four industrial development strategy presented in varying degrees, rely on "the development of the world's leading technology" to stimulate exports. Therefore, Wang Xinsheng that the "draft" basic continuity with Japan's export-oriented economic model, not as Hatoyama said reflected "huge change."
In support of the rate fell below 20% of the first occasion, Hatoyama Cabinet Industry Promotion emergency throw the road map, probably does not help to restore people's fancy. People Hatoyama Cabinet's ability to govern has produced widespread skepticism.
Dove hill station at the beginning, has been proposed involving the Japanese diplomatic, institutional, economic policy reforms, less than a year, almost all the promises all come to nothing. Wang Xinsheng pointed out that the Japanese people as part of the disappointment Hatoyama hopes dashed out, but more from the ability of the Hatoyama negative, "the lack of modifications for their commitment to the face forces will not communicate at all levels, which is the (Dove Mountain) the largest loss of points. "
Foreign policy shift
Hatoyama cabinet lighting power crisis is the relocation of Futenma base.
May 28, Japan and the U.S. reached an agreement on the Futenma base, the basic extension of the agreement between the two countries in May 2006 agreement, originally built in Okinawa Prefecture Futenma relocation of U.S. bases in Okinawa Prefecture to the wild side of the ancient Pigeon mountain stage to the greatest commitment to voters frustrated, not only did not leave the U.S., Japan, and even remained in the Okinawa prefecture. Social Democratic Party leader Mizuho Fukushima, who refused to sign the agreement Hatoyama was removed. Day, Hatoyama release twitter, "the minister had to quit Fukushima matter, I am very sorry."
May 31, the opposition Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Representatives launched an attack through the Futenma issue, submitted a no-confidence vote the cabinet, Fukushima expressed "very difficult to oppose."
However, many times on the Futenma issue between Japan and the exchange of Wang Xinsheng reminded this reporter, despite the Liberal Democratic Party and Social Democratic Party may attack the Democratic Party to seize this issue, but "pay attention to the attitude of the Japanese people on the base is not entirely negative."
A living for years in Japan told reporters that Chinese students, Japanese people do not think the U.S. military base in the conflict, some Japanese and even around the base of young American is quite favorite stores. Wang Xinsheng was further noted that Okinawa had a large part depend on the economic base driven, Tian ship after the incident, there are more Japanese Americans favor Xunqiu asylum.
"Futenma of a final settlement can be considered as a foreign policy Hatoyama's a change." Wang Xinsheng said.
After taking office last year, Dove Mountain has been keen to shape the "East Asian Community" concept, and the focus gradually moved to the East Asian diplomacy. On the economic front, Hatoyama also last year, "China is Japan's largest market." After 2010, Hatoyama enthusiastic in East Asia are receding.
"Futenma issue resolved, the Japan-US alliance could strengthen." Wang Xinsheng judge.
This is the situation in the global economy since last year are not unrelated. After a serious setback last year, the U.S. economy in slow recovery, which dove mountain stage to model the failure of the United States expected the opposite.
Obama "5 years, exports doubled," "to develop innovative products to market" strategy similar to the "draft" from the other side may also indicate Hatoyama change direction – back to the old way of keeping the United States.
The current Diet session will be closed on June 16, meaning that the next round of Senate elections will be held in early July. Hatoyama can change in a month will remain in the ruling party, the Democratic Party position, is still unknown.
