Study On The Koizumi's Cabinet Chinese Policies And Its Consequences

Junichiro Koizumi won the high supporting rate in Japan's election and become the 87th Japanese premier since the April of 2001, at the background of Japan had experienced the political turbulence and economical depression in the 1990's. He governed the state for five and a half years till the September of 2006, became the third premier that has the longest rein period after world warâ…¡. He had organized the cabinet for five times, and took radical reform in domestic and foreign policies, especially had the great intensity in the foreign policy, for catering to the thought of Japan's"New National Conservatism". The main characteristics are: gave up the tradition of pacifism in Japanese foreign relations, and has tough and"Right Deviation"policies to China, led to many twists in Sino-Japan relation at the beginning of 21st. We should deeply analyze on this topic.With the combination of theory and historical facts, I put emphasis on the background, content, nature and consequences of the Koizumi's cabinet Chinese policies. It mainly affected by the strategy and current situation of Japan, the USA's influences and the development of China. Because of Japan's domestic economical depression, all kinds of social interests conflicted on the rise. The Koizumi's cabinet Chinese policies are heavily affected by the trend of"Ordinary Country", the political, economical and social situations in Japan. And the minds of Koizumi's cabinet and himself also have the important effect on the drafting and implementation of Sino-Japan relation. Koizumi affected by his family, belonged to the right radical reformists in the LDP, and most of his cabinet's members are New Conservatives. All of this led to the Koizumi's cabinet"Right Deviation"policies. While in order to meet the changed requirement of its Asia-Pacific strategy, the USA promoted Japan's strategic positions and took the leading role in Asia and the World. Also it's hard for Japanese to make a balance in their hearts when they face to the fast development in the political and economical influences of China. To prevent the development of china, Koizumi's cabinet took a series of tough and"Right Deviation"policies in Sino-Japan relation. The main content including: took tough and"Right Deviation"political policies to China, paid homage to YashuKuni Shrine in succession, took tough attitude on the History Textbook Issue, revised the constitution of peace, made the"contingency bills", carried out the military great powers aimed to china, intervened into"Taiwan problem", made a lot of troubles of the Chinese reunification. Changed the"assistance and cooperation"economy policy, reduced the ODA and take tough and confronted attitude about"East Sea Oil Field"issues and energy cooperation, wanted to grasp more benefit from that and inhibited the growing of china. Took"containment policy"and kept watch on China in diplomatic policies. They try to use political, economical and military measures to enclose and resist china.I try to draw new conclusions on the nature and consequences of the Koizumi's cabinet Chinese policies, and help to rightly handle the relations between China and Japan. Koizumi's cabinet's tough and"Right Deviation"policies in Sino-Japan relation, has two-sides characteristics. Its nature lies in: the result of the Japan's domestic"Right Deviation"political changes, the influences of New Conservatism and the succession of traditional foreign policy of following the US. Koizumi's cabinet tough policies has destroyed the Sino-Japan relation and made serious consequences: the"cold politics"situation made a lot of disputes in Sino-Japan relation; blocked the normal foreign channel of defusing the crisis and impaired the two countries mutual-faithfulness and cooperation. Koizumi's cabinet Chinese policy also brings instable consequences to the peace and development of Asia and the world.China and Japan have important mutual interests, we should explore effective ways to eliminate adverse consequences and promote the development of Sino-Japan relation. This accords with the two governments and people's essential benefits and have the value of understanding and grasp the future of Sino-Japan relation. It has important theoretical and realistic significances to promote the healthy development of Sino-Japan relation and accomplish the peace and development of Asia and the world.
