News report: The competition among the three candidates is fierce.
Li Suhua, an expert on Japanese issues at China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that Seiji Maehara, Noda Yoshihiko and Banri Kaieda supported by Ozawa will become strong competitors.
Seiji Maehara has a good relationship with Naoto Kan, but he has a disagreement with Ichiro Ozawa. Recently, Seiji Maehara, as one of the organizers, held a birthday party for Ozawa, easing the relationship with Ozawa. However, many Ozawa faction members are still quite resistant to Seiji Maehara, which may be the main reason why Ozawa faction chose to support Banri Kaieda.
Noda Yoshihiko, once regarded by the media as a hot spot of "winning the phase", is not as prestigious as before among the Japanese people.
In addition, because Maehara Seiji and Noda are both political and economic representatives of Panasonic, they basically belong to a faction within the party. Their votes will have a certain diversion effect, which may give Kaeda Banri an advantage. According to the regulations, if there are more than 200 candidates for the party leader election, they will be directly elected. If not, they will vote again in the top two.

Seiji Maehara
Motivation is greater than flexibility.
Born in 1962, he is a representative of the new generation in Japanese politics. From 2005 to 2006, he briefly served as the leader of the Democratic Party and was regarded as the hottest candidate for the new prime minister by public opinion.
Seiji Maehara lost his father in his early years and his mother turned out to be a housewife. The hard experience not only made Seiji Maehara have deep feelings for the society that other Japanese politicians rarely have, but also made his character more "tough".
Before 1987, he entered the "Panasonic Institute of Politics and Economics" founded by Kōnosuke Matsushita. 199 1 year, 28-year-old Seiji Maehara became the youngest member of parliament in Kyoto prefecture. 1993 as a member of the House of Representatives, he was elected as a member of the New Party, followed by the Pioneer New Party and finally joined the Democratic Party. In 2005, the Democratic Party was defeated in the House of Representatives election, and then the party leader Katsuya Okada resigned. Seiji Maehara defeated Naoto Kan by two votes and became the youngest party leader in the history of the Democratic Party.
In diplomacy, Seiji Maehara has always been regarded as a "pro-American", but in fact he is a "realist". In his eyes, the relationship between countries is a naked contest of strength. As for China, he once claimed in his speech that "it is necessary for Japan to take a firm attitude to deal with China's military threat".
According to the media, Maehara's personality is like "stepping on the accelerator, but not knowing how to brake". On the collision of the Diaoyu Islands and the landing of the Russian President on the four northern islands, Seiji Maehara is more energetic and less flexible, which may be the biggest obstacle to his administration.

banli kaieda
Soft personality, like historical records.
Born in 1949, his father used to be a journalist and lived in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province provinces. The name "Wan Li" is taken from the Great Wall of Wan Li.
He graduated from the Law Department of Keio University, which is known as a "private double gem" together with Waseda. He used to be an economic critic and the secretary of Senator Nozue Chinbei, so he entered the circle of economic criticism, published many books and often gave speeches in newspapers, magazines, radio and television. He also served as a TV presenter.
1986, as a candidate of the tax party, Al Qaeda lost the House of Representatives election for the first time. 1993 He was elected as a candidate for the New Party of Japan together with Seiji Maehara and Noda, and then left the New Party of Japan. After several small gatherings, he joined the Democratic Party.
Within the Democratic Party, Yamada belongs to the Yukio Hatoyama faction and has a very close relationship with Ichiro Ozawa.
Kaida has a soft personality. Not long ago, when he was questioned by the National Assembly, Yamada shed tears in grievance and was severely criticized by Ozawa for "it is impossible for politicians to shed tears". At that time, it was regarded by the outside world as evidence that Ozawa believed that Yamada was "not qualified to be prime minister."
Kaida speaks Chinese very well. From 1975, he visited China many times, "smoking China cigarettes, drinking Chinese wine and wearing famous China suits bought by Wangfujing Department Store". Both Chinese poetry and Chinese are well written, and related books have been published. One of my favorite books is Sima Qian's Historical Records. (Huo Jiangang)
Noda yoshihiko
A difficult and protracted visit to China.
/kloc-born in 0/957, 54 years old, from Chiba Prefecture. His father is a member of the First Air Force, the most famous special force in Japan, and his mother is a farmer. Noda's body embodies the most distinctive characteristics of both parents-tough and simple appearance.
1980, Noda graduated from Waseda University. His experience has many similarities with Seiji Maehara. 1985 graduated from Panasonic school of politics and economics in the first phase, and then polished my experience in the society. 1987 Like Seiji Maehara, he became a county councillor in his hometown of Chiba at the age of 29. 1993 participated in the House of Representatives election with Seiji Maehara in the New Party of Japan and was elected, then joined the New Progressive Party, and finally joined the Democratic Party like Seiji Maehara.
Noda, like Seiji Maehara and Yukio Edano, Chief Cabinet Secretary of Naoto Kan, is regarded as the "next generation" of the Democratic Party. Within the party, like Maehara Seiji and Yukio Edano, he is the main force against Ozawa.
Perhaps influenced by his military father, Noda's tough stance on historical issues and diplomacy is quite different in the Democratic Party. He is one of the few members of the Democratic Party who insist on visiting the Yasukuni Shrine.
Noda was quite tough on China, saying that "China is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about' Okinawa Reef belongs to Japan'". In 2009, Hatoyama's cabinet had the idea of making him the defense minister, but considering that his idea might cause controversy, it finally gave up. (Huo Jiangang)
Kano Michihiko
Very qualified and not famous.
At the age of 69, he was a member of the Liberal Democratic Party and a former minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. After leaving the LDP. From 65438 to 0998, the Democratic Party was founded, and Kano Michihiko became one of the elders, successively serving as the chairman and deputy party leader of the Party's parliamentary countermeasures.
Although he was elected by 1 1 times, he is very old in the Democratic Party, but his fame is not great. Japanese media said that this is mainly because Luye is gentle and inarticulate. (100 people)
Sumio Mabuchi
The most junior.
5 1 year-old, among the five popular candidates at present, sumio mabuchi has the least political experience and has only been elected to the House of Representatives for three times. After the Democratic Party seized power in 2009, sumio mabuchi was promoted to Deputy Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. After Naoto Kan became prime minister, Ma Yuan was righted as a minister. Sumio mabuchi and Noda Yoshihiko originally belonged to the same faction, but they broke up because of political differences, and now they are officially rivals. Ma Yuanyuan has six sons.

"Sino-Japanese relations are moving towards unimpeded"
Li Suhua, an expert on Japanese issues at China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that whoever is elected as prime minister will face three major challenges: economic issues, diplomatic issues and post-earthquake disaster relief.
The western debt crisis has dragged down Japan and depressed domestic consumption, which is an important test for the new prime minister.
Diplomacy mainly faces Japan-US relations and Japan's relations with Asian countries. According to some media, Maehara and Noda are quite conservative in their attitudes towards China, while Banri Kaieda's love for China culture may be relatively positive in their relations with China.
However, Li Suhua believes that no matter who is elected, the relationship between the two countries will be weighed from the overall situation, and their speeches and statements will be bound to a certain extent. In addition, China and Japan have established and are establishing consultation mechanisms at all levels. Japan also hopes that China's accession to the WTO and other issues will help maintain the overall structure of bilateral relations, so the change of government will not affect the basic trend of bilateral relations.
Li Suhua also said that Seiji Maehara and Noda were regarded as pro-American. After some of them are elected, the relationship between the Japanese government and the United States will be more active in the future. From this perspective, it may bring some pressure to Sino-Japanese relations.
