简介 (中文)

72 year old Yasuo Fukuda is a political elite, and his father is Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda. When Yasuo Fukuda was selected to replace Shinzo Abe, everyone believed that he could use his peaceful hand to quell the turmoil caused by Abe. But his government has long been unpopular, and his proposals are often obstructed by the opposition controlled House of Lords. Undoubtedly, Mr. Kang Fu is facing a difficult struggle. On September 1st, the news of his dismissal announced at an emergency press conference late at night surprised analysts - among them Jeff Kingston from Tokyo Temple University stated that he was completely stunned. Despite receiving political education from a young age, Yasuo Fukuda did not show much interest in professional political science during his youth. He spent the first 17 years of his career working as a salaried employee at an oil company. Since the younger brother, who was raised by his father as an heir, became seriously ill, everything has changed. Kangfu became his father's assistant, and after his father abdicated, he became a member of parliament. As a widely supported senior member of the party, Kang Fu served as the Chief Cabinet Secretary and was the highest government spokesperson under the leadership of Abe's predecessor, Junichiro Koizumi. When he finally announced his candidacy for Prime Minister, all major ruling parties came forward to express their support. Mr. Konfu is seen as a dove of peace in foreign policy, avoiding Abe's ambitious policies such as revising Japan's peace constitution to promote overseas military deployment. He emphasized the necessity of maintaining friendly relations with China and received the first batch of Chinese dignitaries visiting Japan in a decade. He refused to visit the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, which Japan's neighbors consider a symbol of Japan's past militarism. He adopted a more flexible stance towards North Korea, resolving the controversy over Pyongyang's kidnapping of Japanese nationals in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
