Stability KT Social WelfareKan’s government key to Japanese social welfare Kyodo News Service, 6/22 (6/22/10, “Japan Announces Long-Term Fiscal Policy”, http://www.lexisnexis.com.proxy.lib.umich.edu/us/lnacademic/results/docview/docview.do?docLinkInd=true&risb=21_T9613413179&format=GNBFI&sort=BOOLEAN&startDocNo=1&resultsUrlKey=29_T9613413190&cisb=22_T9613413189&treeMax=true&treeWidth=0&csi=10962&docNo=24) In the policy, the government said that Japan "must avoid losing our country's confidence in the bonds market, having seen the resulting sharp interest rates rises and descent into financial collapse of Greece and other countries." Meanwhile, it argues that previous governments led by the Liberal Democratic Party failed to rebuild fiscal health, as they only invested in sectors that did not help create growth or fresh jobs and held off on tax reforms needed to ensure stable social welfare programmes. The policy also urged "all-out efforts" by the government working closely with the Bank of Japan to end deflation, which has long helped worsen the fiscal balance and hurt consumer sentiment. The Kan government, which was launched June 8 under the banner of "strong economy, strong finances and strong social welfare," also said that enhancing social welfare services will contribute to improving consumer sentiment and subsequently lifting spending. Specifically, the government seeks to bring the primary balance - annual revenues minus outlays other than debt-servicing costs - for both the central and local governments, back into surplus by fiscal 2020 after halving the deficit by fiscal 2015. The general-account expenditures for fiscal 2010 amounted to 70.9 trillion yen including tax grants from the general account to local governments. Japan's gross public debts are approaching nearly 200 per cent of the nation's gross domestic product, the highest level among major economies and even higher than Greece and other European nations that have struggled with a credit crisis. Japanese Stability KT Asian StabilityJapanese stability solves Asian peace Sukma 6/14 PhD degree in international relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science (Rizal, 6/14/10, The Jakarta Post, “ East Asia needs a strong Japan”, http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/14/east-asia-needs-a-strong-japan.html) Despite all the difficulties, we hope Japan would be able to withstand the challenges. As international relations in East Asia enter its most crucial juncture, the role of Japan as a major regional power is very much needed. It is for the first time in Asia’s history that regional politics would be characterized by more than two powerful players. China will undoubtedly soon emerge as the most powerful country, second only to the US. India too will become a power that would shape the future of East Asia. As a result, a new emerging regional order is in the making. Southeast Asian countries, having good relationships with all four major powers, expect that the ongoing power shift in East Asia will continue to be peaceful and to the benefits of all regional nations, small and big. I, for one, believe that some sort of multi-polar structure in East Asia would ensure that the region continues to enjoy the stability it has experienced over the last five decades. In that context, a strong Japan would greatly contribute to the preservation of peace, stability and prosperity in the region. A strong Japan would be beneficial for the fulfillment of the ideal of an East Asian community. The role that Japan has played in Southeast Asia — an important component of East Asia’s stability and security — has helped the region flourish economically, which in turn contributes to peace and stability in the region. Southeast Asian states wish to see Japan, under the new administration led by Prime Minister Kan, to succeed. Southeast Asian states, and also East Asia as a whole, needs a strong partnership with Japan to ensure that the 21st century is indeed an Asian century. Indonesia is no exception. Our relationship with Japan will continue to occupy an important place in our foreign policy. Japan is the largest trading partner and investor in Indonesia. Japan has been playing an important role in our economic development and is a fellow democracy with whom we share many values and norms.

Kan also plans to name a top businessman as ambassador to China, "one of the highest posts for diplomats", reports said. Commentators say the arrangements underscore the importance Kan attaches to China, as he has said Tokyo-Beijing ties would be "valued" during his administration. Kan will visit Shanghai on Saturday to celebrate Japan Day at the ongoing World Expo there, the People's Daily reported from Tokyo, quoting local media. The trip was actually arranged before former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama's sudden resignation last week. Apart from stopping in Shanghai, Kan may also visit Beijing to meet with President Hu Jintao. But the Chinese Foreign Ministry could not be reached for confirmation. On Thursday, Kan said the Japan-US relationship would remain the core of Tokyo's foreign policy but that ties with China would also be valued. "I think that Japan's diplomacy is founded on Japan-US relations, (but) at the same time, Japan is in East Asia and we are seeing a historic development in Asia," Kan said. "Japan needs to go in the direction of building a trusting relationship with the US while placing particular importance on China. I think that is the correct way for Japan's future." Besides visiting China on his first overseas trip, Kan is expected to officially appoint Uichiro Niwa, senior corporate adviser at trading house Itochu Corp., as the Chinese ambassador this summer, the Nikkei Daily reported. Kan has long argued that private citizens should be tapped to serve as ambassadors, the Nikkei said. The appointment is expected to strengthen private-sector ties with China, one of the world's largest markets, the report said. The decision also reflects the effort by Kan's ruling Democratic Party of Japan to wrest power from the hands of bureaucrats and redistribute it to politicians, the Nikkei said.
