concepts,policies and attributes,and conducts a comprehensive investigation.The practice and development of Japan's diplomatic strategy and policy have transformed the existing thinking stereotypes of Japan's diplomatic studies and realized theoretical innovations in Japan's diplomatic studies.This article's research on the economic diplomacy of the second Abe government is the inheritance,optimization and expansion of existing research results.Second,the internal structure of Japan's economic diplomacy and its own logical evolution are not static,but with the development of the times and changes in the environment at home and abroad,especially the objective needs of Japan's national development,it constantly improves its connotation and expands its extension in a timely manner.The organic whole.In response to the growth of China's national power and expansion of international influence,especially the tremendous changes in geopolitics and geo-economics brought about by the “Belt and Road” construction,the Abe government has re-understood and adjusted the value and role of economic diplomacy,which is its realistic national governance philosophy.The most obvious

diplomacy,the cross-fusion of public diplomacy and international cultural dissemination and economic foreign policy,etc.,provide a new research perspective and independent thinking for a comprehensive understanding and grasp of Japan's economic diplomacy and even Japanese diplomacy.This article believes that the economic diplomacy of the second Abe government is not only the continuation of the post-war Japanese economic diplomacy in the practice of Japan's national diplomacy in the 21 st century,but also the Abe government's initiative to conform to the international and domestic environment under the guidance of pacifist diplomacy and cultural industry-based state governance.Change and timely adjust the diplomatic practice process of the connotation and denotation of economic diplomacy.Fourth,the Japanese way of thinking provides the basic conceptual foundation and policy motivation for Japan's economic diplomacy,especially Abe's economic diplomacy,and at the same time determines the characteristics and development difficulties of Japan's economic diplomacy.The evolution of Japan ' s economic diplomacy has not only helped Japan to revitalize its economy and international cooperation,and regain its national self-confidence,but at the same time it cannot avoid being restricted and restricted by socio-cultural psychology and international cognition,which has led to the inability of Japan's economic diplomacy and even Japan's diplomacy.Getting rid of the existing development thinking and framework cannot fully respond to the actual needs of Japan's national governance.Whether Japan's economic diplomacy in the “post-Abe era” can get rid of the predicament,continue to play an effective link and balance role in the convergence of Japan's economy and Japan ' s diplomacy,Japan ' s national transformation and the development of the international community,and contribute to the improvement of Japan's national strength.It remains to be seen that the expansion of international influence will play its due role.
