(Around a Subway (tube) Station called "Kokkai-Gijido-Mae")A Japanese is different from a Chinese like an American is from a Frenchman.
The American elite used to grumble, "I don't know who is in charge with what authority in the Japanese Government, the ruling party, and other powerful members of the Japanese society."
But, it has never been an obstacle to promotion of deep relationship between Japan and the U.S.
It is so, since the Japanese side has taken a very careful approach to maintain a good relationship with the U.S. based on deep understanding of the American power elite.
However, as the Liberal Democratic Party, the main ruling party in these 55 years, lost in the election so as to hand over the political power to the Democratic Party of Japan, the matter might become a little complicated.
The DPJ will be more pro-China than the LDP is; but it will be the same as the Wall Street is nowadays pro-China.
SECTION I: Historical Relationships between Japan and China
If a Japanese boasts that he understands English people and England better than Americans, most of Americans would doubt his consciousness.
So, when I hear an American, who cannot even read and write Japanese-Kanji letters (originally Chinese letters imported 1500 years ago or before), claims that he understands the relationship between Japan and China better than a well educated and informed Japanese, I cannot help but doubt his business.
