There are signs that the far right is likely to show its head in Japanese politics, such as rightist values beginning to surface in Japanese society. Shinzo Abe, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, said Japan will not concede one inch of its territory, and even visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine. If he becomes the Prime Minister of Japan, he might have his entire cabinet visit the shrine in an open challenge to China. Japanese media reports that Japan has already completed initial plans for war. China is going to face a tougher Japan.


@天阅的:Japan's economy is going to face a long recession, and the methods previously used to right it are now too weak to turn the situation around. So crazy strategies like these might work.

@ 陶永成1971:I think Mr. Han's opinion is not alarmist. I hope our government does not kid itself anymore.


@段玉安:
What is all this about Japan leaning right? We should just mind our own business.
