Japanese PM Fumio Kishida to step down as party leader

[Regenerator]

MSN

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he will step down in September, ending a three-year term marred by political scandals and paving the way for a new prime minister.

“Politics cannot function without public trust,” Mr Kishida, 67, said in a press conference on Wednesday to announce his decision not to seek re-election as the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader.

“I will now focus on supporting the newly elected LDP leader as a rank-and-file member of the party.”

His decision to quit triggers a contest to replace him as president of the party and by extension as the leader of the world’s fourth-biggest economy.

Mr Kishida’s public support has been sliding amid revelations about the LDP’s ties to the controversial Unification Church and political donations made at party fundraising events that went unrecorded.

But he also faced public discontent over the failure of wages to keep track with the rising cost of living as the country finally shook off years of deflationary pressure.

Japan PM fires aide over derogatory LGBT remarks

Masayoshi Arai was dismissed after reportedly saying he would not want to live next to same-sex couples.

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has fired a government aide who made derogatory remarks about LGBT couples.
Masayoshi Arai reportedly said he would not want to live next to, or look at, people in same-sex relationships.
Mr Arai also warned that permitting gay marriage in Japan would lead to many abandoning the country.
Mr Kishida said the remarks were "outrageous" and "completely incompatible" with his government's policies.
Japan - a country still largely bound by traditional gender roles and family values - is the only G7 nation that does not recognise same-sex marriage.

Same sex couples will never be equal to heterosexual couples since they can't not reproduce. We have also seen what legalizing same sex "Marriage" Has lead to in the west.

Japan PM Kishida vows to promote women's empowerment, economic independence

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledges to promote the economic independence of women as a core pillar of his "new form of capitalism" policy, saying Japan will step up efforts to advance gender equality and women's empowerment in cooperation with the international community.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Saturday pledged to promote the economic independence of women as a core pillar of his "new form of capitalism" policy, saying Japan will step up efforts to advance gender equality and women's empowerment in cooperation with the international community.

In a speech at an international conference in Tokyo, Kishida cited measures his government is taking, including urging major Japanese companies to address wage gaps between men and women and setting up a system to encourage men to take paternity leave.

Kishida made the pledge as a World Economic Forum report showed Japan ranked 116 among 146 countries in the gender gap rankings this year, the lowest among the Group of Seven industrialized nations.

Femoids don't deserve special treatment. The "Wage gap" Is a laughable feminist myth. It's just the overall income of both men & women without mentioning the fact that femoids take lower paying less risky jobs themselves hence why they make less money overall.

Statement by Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio at COP28 World Climate Action Summit | Prime Minister's Office of Japan

Speeches and Statements by the Prime Minister - Prime Minister's Office of Japan

At COP28, we will conclude the first ever Global Stocktake. However, the world is not yet on the pathway to 1.5 degrees. In order to make a course correction, our action until 2030 is critical.
Achieving the global goal of net-zero by 2050, setting the economy-wide absolute reduction target covering all greenhouse gases and peaking global greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 are all required.

Japan aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 46 percent by 2030, and will continue strenuous efforts in its challenge to meet the lofty goal of cutting its emission by 50 percent. Japan has already achieved a reduction of approximately 20%, Japan’s reduction is on track.

As affirmed at the G7 Hiroshima Summit, it is time for all countries to aim to achieve the common goal of net-zero, through various pathways that are compatible with economic growth and energy security. Let us all do so together.

Japan will implement its growth-oriented carbon pricing concept based on the GX Promotion Act. Next year, we will issue the world's first national transition bond with international certification. We will accelerate GX, which simultaneously achieves the three goals of emission reduction, stable energy supply, and economic growth, thereby contributing to global decarbonization. In Asia, we are working with countries under the framework of the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) and will hold our first leaders meeting this month.

Japan will implement thorough energy conservation, and intends to achieve maximum deployment of clean energy through making renewable energy as the main source of power, utilizing nuclear power and other measures. We have a proven record as the world's third largestsolar energy provider. In this context, Japan endorses the Presidency's collective goal of tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling the global average annual rate of energy efficiency improvements.

At the same time, we aim to create globally a just and sustainable business environment to diversify the clean energy supply chain.

On unabated coal power plants, they should be addressed by each country in the course of the respective pathways to net-zero, reflecting national circumstances. In line with its pathway to net-zero, Japan will end new construction of domestic unabated coal power plants, while securing a stable energy supply.

Our commitment to mobilize up to approximately $70 billion USD climate finance from both public and private is also on track.

Further, Japan is ready to contribute to the expansion of lending capacity totaling approximately $9 billion USD through the provision of credit enhancements to the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. We will also make contributions to the new fund of the African Development Bank.

Japan will dedicate itself to undertaking actions on climate change which is our common agenda in cooperation with other countries and leading the efforts of the international community.

Thank you

Good riddance he's gone. Hopefully Turdeau will be next.

Give me a tldr summary of his policies

The Trudeau government's economic policy initially relied on increased tax revenues to pay for increased government spending. While the government has not balanced the budget, it reduced Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio every year until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.[284][285] Trudeau's self-described progressive and feminist social policy has included strong advocacy for abortion rights.[286] His government introduced the bill that made conversion therapies illegal in Canada.[287]

After the 2015 election, Canada set targets to welcome an increased number of immigrants and refugees.[288][289] In 2016, McKinsey & Company advised the Liberal government to double immigration targets, focusing on business talent and international students.[290] In 2023, Radio-Canada reported McKinsey & Company received $66 million in contracts from 2015 to 2022, compared to 2.2 million in the previous decade. Trudeau defended the expenditure but said he would review the matter.[291] Despite warnings about the impact of increased immigration on housing and services, Trudeau's government allowed almost 1 million newcomers (permanent and temporary residents) in both 2022 and 2023.[292][293][294] Trudeau initiated some measures to combat housing inflation: Foreign buyers were banned and the Housing Accelerator Fund was created. In Sept 2023, Trudeau stated housing prices were "far too high", but, in May 2024, during an interview with the Globe and Mail, Trudeau said, "housing needs to retain its value."[295][296] In 2021, Trudeau touted his Child Benefit Program, claiming it had lifted 400,000 children out of poverty.[297] In 2024, food bank usage was at an all time high and more working people than ever were using food banks.[298] Emigration to the US hit a 10-year high in 2022.[299]

Canada introduced the right to medically-assisted dying in 2016[300] and legalized cannabis for recreational use in 2018.[301] In 2021, Trudeau announced the creation of a national child care plan with the intention of reducing day care fees for parents down to $10 a day per child within five years.[302] In November 2022, the Trudeau government announced that Canada would admit 500,000 immigrants per year by 2025.[303]

His environmental policy included introducing new commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% before 2030, and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.[304] His main tool for reaching this target is a federal carbon pricing policy.[305] Trudeau's parliament also adopted legislation for marine conservation,[306] banning six common single-use plastic products,[307] and strengthening environmental impact assessments.[308] Trudeau pledged to ban single use plastic in 2019. In the year 2022 his government announced a ban on producing and importing single use plastic from December 2022. The sale of those items will be banned from December 2023 and the export from 2025.[309] However, Trudeau is in favour of oil and gas pipelines to bring Canadian fossil fuel resources to foreign markets.[310]

If Harris win's it's legit over for the USA. Trump 2024 he's far better.

This shit happens constantly there afaik. Doesn't really mean much, especially since Japan is an American vassal state and will do whatever their overseas masters will tell them to do.

He's not ideal, but we have to be pragmatic

Also based gif there.

But I'm glad this Libshit is gone, good riddance.

We could very well have a literal Kalergi mutt in power here, if so it's actually over.

Japan's pacification has doomed them. I don't know why the USA did it since they could have been a great ally during the cold war. Trump is not perfect but he's far better than Kamala Harris easily. I hope he wins come November. Trump has a lot of good positions. I'm glad Kishida is gone too. The damage he did in only 3 years was crazy. I just hope his replacement is better. Obama's mulatto but larps as black. If "White privilege" Were real you'd think he'd larp as White.

japan is doomed

then again theyve been doomed since 1990, and all theyve done is kick the can down the road

you cant pay for a social benefits system with a birthrate of 1

To some extent. Their economy was boomin' in the 80s, but amERica wasn't going to let them win
