Pro-Taiwan and pro-NATO Ishiba as prime minister, and IPAC co-chair Gen Nakatani as Defense Minister. A very good combination to counter the China threat.

No wonder the pro-CCP hordes on JT are spitting feathers.

Good. Now change the locks.

Something about this picture struck me as odd, and then I realized: out of all the people in this picture there is only four women. Very strange.

The LDP truly take the Japanese electorate for fools, or just the usual throwaway rhetoric if they think the endemic LDP corruption will be solved by the shuffling in of another party insider.

Blatant incompetence and he still gets flowers.

Ishiba has managed to find TWO women for his cabinet. I'm really impressed.

Just a while back, some here were saying he was too pro-China. Trust you to put a positive spin on everything.
I don't think they care, considering he's supposed to be 'pro-China', and is not keen on having US military bases. Whatever floats you boat. I won't wake you up.

"modern version double national income plan", Kishida said so at first. but it fizzle out soon, his government only increased tax revenue and large corporations' profit or internal reserves and assets of wealth class. they ignored most people, more expanded inequality and poverty. Such situation has worsened even social divide between such as generation or gender or majority and minority.
Also, His regime ignores majority public opposition, forced to hold state funeral for problematic and suspicious former PM Abe to satisfy handful far-rights.
Its next year, even slush fundraising that its Abe's group deeply related it or bribery that PM or chief cabinet secretary funded when election were also revealed.
During three years, he just worked only for own political gain, not for ordinal people.

Take a close review of/to the Kishida exiting cabinet CV career paths,
All are life long politicians, the procedure for new Prime Minster Shigeru Ishiba cabinet, is akin to "ripple shuffling" a pack of playing cards and dealing out the names into each post and portfolio.
Any "up and comers" will be well down the pecking order.
The LDP can never be accused of enforcing any steep learning curves.

The root of man-made disaster that victimized most number of general citizen in recent years is unworthy of applause or bouquet.
