野田改造内閣発足は、日本の民主党の終わりの始まりか? 新華社CRI英語版 13日
The Japanese premier has vowed to submit a controversial bill in the next parliamentary session to raise the 5 percent
sales tax in two stages, to 8 percent in 2014 and to 10 percent by 2015.
But Noda, who took office in September as Japan's sixth prime minister in just five years, is quickly running out of
bargaining chips to enact his key tax hikes in a bid to curb the nation's ballooning public debt, currently topping 200
percent of Japan's GDP, and if the Liberal Democratic Party-led opposition bloc opt to abstain from further talks with
the DPJ on the issue, Noda will be forced to dissolve the lower house of parliament and call a snap election.
*野田政権や日本の民主党について、世界で最も辛い点をつけている(赤旗とか労働新聞とか、そういうのは除外して考えた時)
のが中国様の新華社の評論というのは、なにげに笑えるというか、なんというか・・・
With latest national surveys showing that 22.4 percent of voters backed the LDP against 20.7 for the DPJ, marking the
first time the LDP had the lead since Noda took office, the question being asked among pundits now is which will happen
first, will the the DPJ implode from the inside or be blown up from the outside?
*国内メディアの異常な民主党応援団もさることながら、中国様の国営メディアのここまでの歯に衣着せぬ物言いというのも考え
させられるものが。恐らく、民主党が長続きして、今後とも日本政治に重きをなすと予想するのであれば、新華社もここまでの物
言いはせずに、もうすこしオブラートビ包むであろうと思える。中国様は少なくとも今のままの民主党には未来がないと見ている
ように思える。
