Experts are already predicting that relations between Japan and China will not be influenced despite the resignation of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
I am not sure.
Among the hustle and bustle and rangling and back office negotiations, some are suggesting that former PM Junichiro Koizumi come back.
Koizumi defiantly made visits to the Yasukuni Shrine repeatedly evoking negative reactions from his neighbors...China and South Korea.
PM Abe and his bunch stayed away.
Japan and China, Japan and South Korea, do NOT need to deal with annual visits to honor or not honor war dead.
Business, however...is good.
China's buzzing economy will keep Japan's economy humming along as well.
The ruling LDP will choose a replacement for Abe....and in the end, it will likely be business and politics as usual.
