Remembering Shinzo Abe, Japan's longest-serving prime minister 

Hello everyone, I am Japanese and translated this passage I wrote into English, so I'm sorry if there are some grammatical mistakes. I will be writing about why Shinzo Abe should not be celebrated - and why The Guardian is a hypocritical site for paying tribute to a right wing authoritarian leader: Shinzo Abe emerged with his tough stance against the North Korean affairs, etc. and took office as the prime minister in 2006. He called for the creation of a 'beautiful country' by departing from the postwar regime to amend the Basic Act on Education,etc.; however, he resigned the following year to take responsibility for defeatin the Upper House election as well as for health reasons. In December 2012, Shinzo Abe returned as the prime minster upon the LDP's substantial victory in the Upper House election. Claiming the necessity of nuclear power for Japan, he declared promotion to resume operation of nuclear power plants and raised the basic philosophy of constitutional amendment on the premise of 'asserting foreign policy' on the axis of the Japan-U.S. alliance, education rebuilding by focusing on public spirit and moral senses, and maintenance of the self-defense forces; however what gathered attention at the time of the Cabinet's inauguration was the economic policy known as Abenomics. Departure from deflation was attempted with 'three arrows' of fiscal stimulus, monetary relaxation, and growth strategy, aiming at renewal of the Japanese economy. The Nikkei Stock Average recovered to the 20,000 yen level with Abenomics, and the business recovery of large corporations became evident in particular. On the other hand, the actual wage of workers decreased, domestic consumption cooled, the number of public assistance recipients continued to renew the record high, temporary employment increased even more than the beginning of Abenomics, and disparity and poverty expanded. Especially, 40% of females earn two million yen or less per year with which economic independence is supposed to be difficult, comparing with approximately 10% of males who earn two million yen or less. Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution prohibits intimidation with military power or use of military power as a method to resolve international conflicts and was interpreted as not possible to exercise military power for purposes other than defense of one's homeland. The postwar Cabinet in the past had prohibited exercise of the right of collective defense that uses militarypower to protect other countries, and only allowed militarypower as the right to individual self-defense to protect one's homeland under the Constitution; however in July 2014, the Cabinet of Shinzo Abe made a cabinet decision to change interpretation of the Constitution and approve exercise of the collective defense under certain conditions. On July 15, 2015, bills relating to national security including approval of exercise of the collective defense were railroaded through the Lower House special committee. Two years ago, Japanese record label canceled the production of Xinlisupreme`s works and terminated the contract with Xinlisupreme because Xinlisupreme created a protest song 'I Am Not Shinzo Abe' to criticize Shinzo Abe, a prime minister of Japan. It has now become a taboo in Japan to criticize Shinzo Abe in music and other creative activities. In 2015, Southern All Stars, a popular band in Japan, was made to apologize for publically ridiculing him on TV. Also in 2016, there were fierce repercussions on the internet against the appearance of Aki Okuda, a leader of SEALDs, a student group to protest against Shinzo Abe, in the Fuji Rock, the biggest music festival in Japan. Even the phrase 'Do not politicize music' became a top trend on Japan's twitter. We all have the right to freedom of expression when criticizing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, an extreme right-wing politician who allows discrimination, social gaps and nuclear power plants. There was no other prime minister like this who was a liar and a dictator.

China's "clout"

So what are you telling us, seeing him

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from where people are so fond of Abe? Japan?

China are very happy about this

مرسی امید جان . که از طرف ما و حرف دل ما ایرانیان را مطرح کردی ، او بسیار متواضع بود و مورد احترام بود، روحش قرین رحمت . تسلیت به مردم ژاپن ، از ایران

Karma had finally caught up with this Japanese war criminal whose ancestors murdered millions in China

🤣he is nothing but US's lap-dogggyy

@Kio Gray regardless of his politics he made Japan into the 3rd largest economy in the world and not let it fade away after WW2.

@@Gigi-zr6hp Huh? Japan was already the second largest economy that was about to overtake the US decades before his premiership. It was already an economic juggernaut regardless of Abe, and it is debatable whether or not his Abenomics truly revitalized the Japanese economy which was stagnant for decades.

@Kio Gray So you want Japan to be like after WW2? Earthquake already costed and lost so many of people and money and you think his action to recover was bad? Who do you want him to be, Trump? Biden?

@@_Wakaz_ thank you. These ignorant people don't realize that we never wanted Abe as our leader. Americans just believe everything they see on TV no wonder we have leaders like trump / biden.

...and also totally ignorant about their WW2 history. Abe was very infamous in former victim neighbouring Asian countries (fellow democratic neighbour South Korea especially, but also China, and SEAsian countries) due to his attempts to whitewash WW2 atrocities, as well as visiting shrines that honor convicted war criminals. His great grandfather was a convicted war criminal absolved of his crimes to lead a post-war Japan, and his racist attitudes against other Asians clearly showed throughout his tenure. RIP Shinzo, what a bittersweet ending.

Agree

You're right. How was the shooter able to get so close to the former PM to shoot him at close range? His security detail was not paying attention to his surroundings.
