In the past two days, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso has become a hot topic of news because of his speech on Taiwan.
As soon as the deputy prime minister said that he wanted to defend Taiwan, the Japanese netizens suddenly had three views and their minds were clear
In Japanese politics, substantial family inheritance is practiced throughout the year. Lao Tzu laid the political foundation, and a group of loyal courtiers assisted shao dongjia to come to power. Such as former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the current Minister of Administrative Reform Taro Kono, and the current Minister of the Environment Shinjiro Koizumi.
It is not easy to recruit a potential son-in-law, such as the current chief cabinet secretary Kato Katsunobu. Generation after generation, the parties have married again, and the forces are intertwined.
Compared with these people, Aso Taro, who has a crooked mouth and a disdainful expression all day long, is not only a famous door among famous people, a rich family among the giants, but also a relative of the emperor and the state.
Retrospectively, he and Shinzo Abe are also relatives. Through marriage, the two families became relatives. To this day, Aso is recognized as Abe's close political partner for many years.
Marriage is a favorite form of extended family. As a large chaebol in the Kyushu region of Japan, the Aso clan will naturally not stop the pace of becoming more and more powerful.
Aso's father married the daughter of former Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida; he himself married the daughter of former Prime Minister Yoshiyuki Suzuki. His sister Nobuko married Prince Kanin, the grandson of Emperor Taisho.
In 1983, Taro Aso, 43, and Chikako Suzuki, 33, were married at a church in Shibuya, Tokyo.
At that time, Aso had already been elected to the House of Representatives, and with the support of family forces, marrying the former prime minister Qianjin meant that the political future was more secure.
Purely a local magnate, the Suzuki family may not be willing to leave his precious son-in-law position to him. Three years before the marriage of the two families, Aso Taro's sister Nobuko married into the imperial family and became the wife of Prince Kanhito, the grandson of Emperor Taisho.
According to the official account, the 16-year-old Nobuko and the 26-year-old Kuan Ren fell in love at first sight and got married after 8 years of mutual affection.
After World War II, the Japanese Imperial Family carried out a major reduction, leaving behind all the direct lineage. In the small royal population, the opportunity to catch up with an adult man who happens to be unmarried is extremely rare.
It can only be said that in order to seize this opportunity, the Aso family began to plan at least from the time Nobuko was 16 years old. In the end, passing the examination of concubines one after another was really painstaking.
Nobuko married into the royal family as a concubine as a rich woman, which can be described as a glorious lintel, but her marriage is not so beautiful. Her husband, Prince Kuanjin, was an alcoholic and abusive, and Nobuko's heart was not light, and she recuperated elsewhere for many years.
Perhaps because of the perennial estrangement, Nobuko's relationship with her two daughters is also extremely bad.
Daughter Binzi once admitted personally:
10 years before my father's death, my mother separated from us on the grounds of illness and convalescence. Royal official duties during convalescence were also thrown aside. In those 10 years, I couldn't talk to my mother well. After the death of his father, he conveyed to his mother through an agent that he wanted to talk, but he was also rejected.
The stronger Binzi (left) and his sister Yaozi (right) presided over her father's funeral. Since then, the mother of the princess has been in a state of substantial severance of mother-daughter relationship.
Although the marriage sacrificed the happiness of Aso Nobuko, it made the Aso family a relative of the imperial family in one fell swoop. As the eldest son of the family, Taro Aso is not only the son-in-law of the former prime minister, the grandson of the former prime minister, and the brother-in-law of the crown prince of the imperial family.
Coming from such a large family, Aso Taro lived quite willfully.
When he was young, he was admitted to the Sankei Shimbun, and then because he was admitted to Stanford University, he did not attend a class for a day, and directly went through the procedures for retaining his job and went to the United States to study.
Stationed in sierra Leone, a West African country on behalf of the Aso family, he drew the support of local powerful people and successfully participated in the country's lucrative bloody industry----- digging diamonds. If it were not for the civil war in Sierra Leone, it might have become a global diamond tycoon.
After returning to Japan, Taro Aso strives to be strong in his personal hobbies and interests.
He started shooting in college and won the All Japan Shooting Championship at the age of 22 and set a new record. At the age of 36, he represented Japan at the Montreal Olympics, but unfortunately ranked 41st.
After a long time, Aso said goodbye to shooting, was elected to the House of Representatives for the first time three years later, and married former Prime Minister Senjin. It is said that the trigger has not been pulled again so far.
This is probably enough to play enough to have to take care of, go back to the road arranged by the family.
As a politician, he often cursed out of his mouth.
When the LDP was the secretary general, it was heavy rainstorms in central Aichi Prefecture. He said: It would be good to have heavy rainstorms under Anjo and Okazaki, but if you want to go under Nagoya, there will be a flood. (Nagoya people get angry to death)
When the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he expressed his opinion on euthanasia: those who were treated in the late stages of the period had to make people think in their hearts, and it was better to die quickly! When I think about the money spent by the government for those who prolong life treatment, the more I think about it, the more I can't sleep. (The patient is dying of gas)
Because I love comics, I praise the game of Pokemon: in foreign countries, those otaku and otaku who are helpless even psychiatrists, and the dead houses that don't go out all go out to catch monsters, so it can be seen that comics are more useful than psychiatrists. (The doctor got angry to death)
Say whatever you want. Again and again, one by one, the people did not bother him. After all, it is more interesting than most political masters.
Like this Taiwan-related speech, although it was ridiculed by the group on the Internet: if you want to fight, the Aso family will go first. But when it comes to elections, it is usually the middle-aged and elderly who actively vote. So, his position is still steady.
Does Aso's Taiwan-related speech only represent his personal thoughts? Is it habitual "political gaffes"?
No matter how big the young master of the rich family had, he wouldn't really be willful enough not to know where the red line was. Under the guise of habitual gaffes, frantically tempting on the brink of danger.
Don't forget, Taro Aso and Shinzo Abe are close political allies who have supported each other for years. As soon as Abe left office, he went to visit the Yasukuni Shrine.
Don't forget that Aso's maternal grandfather and Abe's maternal grandfather both served as prime ministers during the period of Japanese militarism.
The family political assets inherited from the hereditary family system in Japanese politics include the political connections that supported their grandfather. Even these connections have been passed down from generation to generation.
Aso's speech was precisely the truth of him and his group of forces. But this is bound to offend other forces, such as those with close ties to China's economy.
After the new election, who goes up and who goes down, and how to shuffle the cards, is worth paying attention to.
