The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan that had led the nation as the most powerful party till the last summer is now supported by only 24% of voters as proven in this Upper-House election (though winning 51 seats among 121 contested, for surprising success in local election districts).
On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Japan (DJP) that is now leading the nation with Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan is supported by only 32% of voters as proven in this Upper-House election (though winning only 44 seats among 121 contested, for big failures in local election districts).
It can be interpreted that 24% of the Japanese enjoy modern capitalism and 32% do not if they accept it, though reality is not so simple.
Anyway, Japanese voters can alternately authorize the LDP and the DPJ in each election.
For your reference, the LDP is said to be close to the U.S. Republican Party, the DPJ to the U.S. Democratic Party.
SECTION I: Truth of the Chinese Bubble
On December 25, 2009, the Bureau of Statistics of the Chinese Government announced, as usual, that the estimated growth of GDP for 2008 would be increased from 9.0% to 9.6%.
This increase is almost equivalent to GDP of Malaysia.
As this sort of frequent GDP-adjustment practice by the Chinese Government suggests, statistical figures made public by China are very untrustworthy.
There are some circumstantial evidences about the deceptive nature of the Chinese economy.
- Export accounts for 40% of China's GDP while 15% for Japan's.
- There is a special tax system in China called the drawback for duties paid on goods exported. The more a Chinese company exports goods, the more it will receive money as a drawback allowance from the Government.
- To get more money from the Government, Chinese exporters must be officially filing their export data with inflated figures of sales. This can inflate China's GDP easily from 9.0% to 9.6%.
Moreover, in order to suppress social instability, the Chinese Government has to keep a high growth rate and a low unemployment rate. Accordingly, banks in China, all under direct control of the Communist Party and the Chinese Government, invest a huge amount of money into public works and new business. However, a large portion of these funds are flowing into the stock market and the real estate market in cities, without raising a salary level and a consumption level of a majority of poor workers, just causing bubbles already locally.
If Chinese farmers and poor workers, whose number can be 800 million, cannot consume enough products, China will face an extremely difficult situation due to excess domestic production and frequently occurring local bubbles, no matter how artfully or boldly they manipulate a GDP figure.

Nonetheless, China has to continue to exist with its 1300 million population. The solution seems to be steady and moderate growth over decades. While keeping a gap between the rich and the poor smaller, Chinese economy should progress.
Yet, at a certain point a majority of the Chinese people will come to request democracy so as not to be sacrificed by the rich and the Communist Party. It might be accompanied by the burst of a huge bubble. But after that, China will be no more a disturbing factor in the world. They might even start to live humbly in the material term, learning some religious and spiritual value especially from Japan.
So, it is critically important for Japan to develop more its spiritual culture the Chinese people cannot help but respect more than the American material wealth.
For this purpose, the Japanese Government must be constituted by those who love Japanese spiritual traditions as well as poor citizens in the nation.
SECTION II: Composition of Japanese Voters
The number of total ballots cast for the proportional-representation constituency or national constituency is 58,453,437 in this 11-07-2010 Upper-House election.
They are largely grouped into two camps: one led by the ruling DPJ and another led by the opposition LDP.
Voters who support the following parties are characterized by a mind set of being very pro-Chinese, anti-American, anti-nationalism, anti-war, socialistic, radically liberal/progressive, not rich, or poor, or otherwise anti-reformation of the postal service.
-------
Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ): 18,450,140
Communist Party: 3,563,556
Socialist Party: 2,242,735
People's New Party: 1,000,036...with ex-LDP lawmakers
Total: 25,256,467
-------
Voters who support the following parties are characterized by a mind set of being anti-Chinese, very pro-American, conservative, traditional, moderately liberal/progressive, rich, or not poor, or otherwise pro-reformation of the postal service.
-------
Liberal Democratic Party (LDP): 14,071,671
Your Party: 7,943,649...with ex-LDP lawmakers
SPJ (Tachiagare): 1,232,207...with ex-LDP lawmakers
NPR (Kaikaku): 1,172,395...with ex-LDP lawmakers
SJP (Soshin): 493,619...with ex-LDP lawmakers
New Komeito: 7,639,432...under the Sokagakkai Buddhist body
Total: 32,552,973
-------
In summary, the number of socialistic, very pro-Chinese, or anti-postal service privatization voters is about 25 million.
The number of conservative, very pro-American, or pro-postal service privatization voters is about 33 million.
So, pro-American Japanese is 10% more than pro-Chinese Japanese, which can be a decisive factor in a critical election, though in the 30-8-2009 general election the former won as the DPJ garnered 308 Lower-House seats.
It is because most of Japanese non-committed voters who are conservative and pro-American supported the DPJ in the 2009 election as they had found that the LDP Cabinet could not manage well the pension fund system in 2007.

According to the mainstream Japanese media, the approval rating of Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan has fallen to 36%, though it was above 60% a month and half ago.
It is a general public opinion that P.M. Mr. Kan and his DPJ have lost the 11-07-2010 national election conducted on July 11, since the ruling parties, namely the DPJ, the Your Party, and a very minor one, have now only 110 seats in total 242 in the Upper House while 7 seats short of a 2/3 privileged majority in the Lower House.
It is time for Mr. Kan and other leaders of the DPJ to be afraid of the God.
Indeed, it cannot be easy to enhance quality of Japanese politicians enough to lead the U.S. and China. As the first step, they must be humbled.
Anyway, it is better to observe ballot counting objectively outside a TV station or a party headquarters.

But I guess that's just the way...since so many people have left the place...)
Joh 7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
Joh 7:13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Joh 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Joh 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
