This is typical of August, which usually sees few significant decisions as the policymaking process pauses. However, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo\u2019s abrupt announcement that he would resign because of health concerns shook up the political world.<\/p><p>PM Abe and his administration faced growing criticism for its pandemic response and the PM\u2019s refusal to call parliament back into session before 2021. PM Abe set a record for the longest uninterrupted term as premier on August 24, but his unpopularity and health issues prevented him from continuing in the position.<\/p><p>Just before his resignation, the Abe Cabinet\u2019s approval rate reached 36% according to an August Kyodo poll, its second lowest point since 2012. Disapproval hit 49.1%. 58.4% of respondents criticized the government\u2019s handling of the new coronavirus pandemic, and 70.8% still want an extra session of the Diet to discuss additional response measures. It will be a challenge for the next premier to regain the trust of the Japanese electorate before calling a snap election.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d68066 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5d68066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e17eb73 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e17eb73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-827b622\" data-id=\"827b622\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f2ce17\" data-id=\"6f2ce17\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e8c14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56e8c14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Want to Stay Informed?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d988277 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d988277\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sign up for monthly updates on the latest political developments impacting your industry in Japan:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50ca16a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"50ca16a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff;

PM Abe avoided designating a successor in the press conference in which he announced his resignation, meaning that a real contest within the party is set to take place. Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide is the apparent frontrunner, with former Defense Minister Ishiba Shigeru and LDP policy chief Kishida Fumio also in the race. Regardless of who wins, the LDP is likely to see a temporary boost in opinion polls.<\/p><p>Any change in leadership after years of stability under PM Abe will shake the political realm. However, it is precisely the shake the LDP needs in the case of an election this fall or next year. A new LDP president could benefit from an electoral honeymoon and win at the polls, despite recent predictions that have the ruling coalition losing many seats to the opposition. The government\u2019s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, cronyism scandals and corruption will be in part forgotten as the transition to the Reiwa era manifests in a new national leader.<\/p><p>Campaigning and politics aside, as the policymaking process starts up again in September, a number of initiatives, such as a possible ban on TikTok and a new national security strategy, will build up in the pipeline.

This change will make it easier for ambitious foreign workers to start companies and invest in Japan, one of the main goals of the Abe administration. This is also in line with Tokyo\u2019s ambition to become Asia\u2019s next financial hub.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb92f99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb92f99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b><u>Energy:<\/u><\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6664e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a6664e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/photo-1473341304170-971dccb5ac1e-768x512.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-3495\" alt=\"Energy Policy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/photo-1473341304170-971dccb5ac1e-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/photo-1473341304170-971dccb5ac1e-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/photo-1473341304170-971dccb5ac1e-scaled.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-433faa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"433faa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80caa04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"80caa04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>METI to review power transmission lines\u2019 renewable energy share<\/b><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b56aab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b56aab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>METI will review the use of power transmission lines to expand the limits on renewable energy power generation. The ministry aims to reduce the reliance on coal power sources and cut carbon dioxide emissions. Under current regulations, coal-fired thermal power is prioritised in power transmission lines while renewable energy has limited access. The move comes after Japan faced a wave of global criticism for its lack of commitment in tackling climate change. METI will allow new connections to power lines when not congested by the end of 2021.<\/p><p><i><span style=\"color: #b31b1b;\">Langley Insight<\/span>:<\/i> Japan\u2019s energy production still relies heavily on coal, which generates 32% of total energy production. Renewables cover about 17% of the total mix. As a global push toward decarbonization has taken off, METI wants renewable energy to make up 22-24% of Japan\u2019s energy mix by March 2031. However, renewables taking a greater share means the country will become more dependent on them. This could lead to further regulation of the energy industry to protect the market from foreign players. The government recently banned foreign companies from operating wind farms, for example.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2bd84c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b2bd84c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b><u>Defense:<\/u><\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c60202d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c60202d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jet-2974131_1920-768x509.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-3682\" alt=\"Defense Policy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jet-2974131_1920-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jet-2974131_1920-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jet-2974131_1920-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/langleyesquire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jet-2974131_1920-1536x1018.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ae8a7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ae8a7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Defense Ministry to establish electronic warfare unit in 2021<\/b><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bde11b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9bde11b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Defense Ministry plans to create a specialized unit within the Self-Defense Forces to increase the country\u2019s electronic warfare capability in fiscal 2021.

The mission\u2019s aim will be to jam enemy radars, missile guidance systems and signals, as well as protecting Japan\u2019s internal communications. It will also try to nullify hostile external radio waves by using domestic radio waves on the same frequencies. Additionally, the ministry recently bolstered its efforts to develop a Cyber Defense Unit (CDU). The Ministry will expand the number of personnel in the CDU by 30% to reach 300 by April 2021, and by 2024 the CDU is expected to have 500 members.<\/p><p><i><i><span style=\"color: #b31b1b;\">Langley Insight<\/span><\/i>: <\/i>The Ministry of Defense is enhancing its technological, electronic and cybersecurity capabilities in response to advances made by Russia and China in electronic warfare.

By the start of fiscal 2023, the Defense Ministry plans to have just over 1,000 dedicated personnel. Tokyo is also allocating \u00a515 billion ($141.6 million) in its 2020 budget to developing an aircraft capable of jamming enemy radio waves from long distances.

As separate countries the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand have strong, existing defense relationships with Japan through various treaties, organizations and agreements. Japan also has experience sharing intelligence with the member countries, especially regarding China\u2019s activities in the region.

Japan\u2019s relatively outdated technical infrastructure, in addition to the lack of more robust security regulations, like a clearance system, have been a significant obstacle to closer ties. Japan\u2019s potential membership is also contingent to some degree on its ability to assimilate the norms and procedures of the Five Eyes members, which are all Anglophone countries with shared cultural values.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6c5787 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a6c5787\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19ed7fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19ed7fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to bring unprecedented impact around the world, businesses and governments must adapt to a rapidly-changing global environment.
