Research Of Abe's Government Policy Toward The Dprk And Japan-Dprk Relations

In the process of pursuing a political power,Japan's Korean Peninsula issue is an important factor,and Japan's policy toward the DPRK is an important variable affecting on the overall situation of the Korean Peninsula.The Korean Peninsula is at a historic key node.As the re-ruling Japanese Prime Minister,the Abe administration's policy toward the DPRK will affect the interests of the main regional actors.During the Cold War,Japan adopted a policy of "one-sided to Korea" on the Korean Peninsula issue and adopted hostility toward North Korea.After the Cold War,with the changes in the intermational situation,Japan adjusted its policy toward the DPRK,and the relationship between Japan and the DPRK has undergone new changes.The two countries have normalized relations negotiations and the economic exchanges between the two countries have achieved substantial development.However,after entering the 21st century,with the politicization of the "abduction issue,and the emergence of the Korean nuclear crisis,serious differences have arisen between the two countries,and the normalization of diplomatic relations has not yielded substantive results.Abe's first term of office called the settlement of the "abduction issue" as the top priority of the cabinet and imposed a tough policy on North Korea.However,it did not achieve significant results during the period of administration,and then said goodbye.At the end of 2012,Abe regained power.Abe adhered to the policy of"dialogue","pressure" and "sanctions,on the DPRK policy.The main factors affecting Abe's policy toward the DPRK are:First,Abe,s conservative thinking.Under the influence of this idea,it is difficult for Japan-DPRK relations to reach mutual trust and will become an important challenge for bilateral relations.Second,it is subjected to the influence of the US-DPRK relationship and Japan-US alliance system,the easing of US-DPRK relations will make Japan take a positive attitude toward North Korea;Third,Japan's strategic intention to restore noimal national identity.North Korea plays a veiy important and crucial role in restoring noimal national identity of Japan.Forth,Japan intends to achieve "political power" and"military power." Japan achieves "great powers" by improving the relationship with North Korea.Fifth,improving relations between Japan and the DPRK is conducive to alleviating Japan's diplomatic pressure.When Japan's diplomacy was in trouble,Japan relied on the easing of Japan-DPRK relations to ease pressure and seek a breakthrough.Since 2018,the situation on the peninsula has suddenly changed.Abe is worried about becoming an "outsider"and actively uses various occasions to express his speech and convey a positive attitude towards meeting with North Korean leaders and normalizing relations.The core of Japan-DPRK relations is the "abduction issue",but there are still historical issues and nuclear missile issues between the two countries.In addition,the relationship between Japan and North Korea is subject to the influence of the United States and South Korea.It can be seen that the resistance bet,ween Japan and the DPRK will be even greater in the future.In this regard,China should be more committed to the improvement of comprehensive national strength,peacefully resolve problems through consultations,and maintain a peaceful situation on the Korean peninsula.
