What the path ahead for Japan looks like under PM Ishiba’s fragile leadership

Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has vowed to transform the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), after surviving a runoff vote in parliament on Monday (Nov 12) to stay in the top job. This comes after a snap general election where the LDP and its coalition partner lost the parliamentary majority it had held in the lower house since 2012. Tomohiko Taniguchi, a special advisor at think tank Fujitsu Future Studies Centre, discusses what lies ahead for Japan under Ishiba’s leadership, on CNA’s Asia First. The specially appointed professor at the University of Tsukuba also gives insights on how this could affect relations with the United States under president-elect Donald Trump.
