Japan's tax bill prompts cabinet reshuffle
Posted 4 June 2012, 19:30 AEST


Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has reshuffled his cabinet, after bowing to opposition pressure for ministerial scalps.
Mr Noda named five new ministers and called on the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to give their backing to a bill that would eventually double sales tax and help partially plug(堵住) a gaping budgetary hole.
"I decided to reshuffle and strengthen the cabinet so as to create an environment that enables progress in issues including an overall reform of social security and tax," Mr Noda said.
He has staked his premiership on the sales tax, a move international bodies, academics and journalists all agree is a sensible measure in the battle to overhaul Japan's debt mountain, which currently stands at around twice GDP.
Part of the proceeds would be used to finance snowballing social security costs resulting from Japan's rapidly greying society.
But in the highly factionalised world of Japanese politics, Noda has been left trying to placate(安抚) an opportunist(机会主义) opposition after failing to secure the backing of one of his own party's key powerbrokers.
Democratic Party of Japan powerbroker Ichiro Ozawa(小泽一郎), who leads around 100 politicians, has set his stall firmly against the tax rise, which he sees as politically unacceptable.


Paying the price
Some of Monday's sackings were part of the price Mr Noda must pay if he wants cross-party backing for his bill.
"Toward the end of the current parliamentary session, we will face a crucial decision that will affect the future of Japan," he said.
"I call for all the politicians, on both sides of the house, to take these proposals seriously," he said, adding the bill would come before the lower house before the parliamentary session ends on June 21.
Defence minister Naoki Tanaka and transport minister Takeshi Maeda lost their jobs after both being censured by the opposition-controlled upper house in April.
Mr Noda named Takushoku University professor Satoshi Morimoto, a well-known commentator and regular on television talk shows, as new defence minister, while the new transport minister will be his party's upper house affairs chief Yuichiro Hata.
Mr Morimoto is the first non-parliamentarian in a Noda cabinet.
An advocate of a closer security alliance with the United States, Mr Morimoto has said Japan's Self-Defense Forces should actively participate in peacekeeping missions abroad, once a sensitive issue in Japan.

Mr Noda also sacked agriculture minister Michihiko Kano, whose involvement -- albeit(尽管) at several steps removed -- in a spy scandal that allegedly(据称) saw sensitive documents passed to a Chinese diplomat, has proved an embarrassment.
Justice minister Toshio Ogawa, who has been criticised by the LDP for consulting horse racing websites on his mobile phone during a parliamentary session, and postal services Minister Shozaburo Jimi were also removed.
Mr Noda named former vice agriculture minister Akira Gunji as new agriculture minister, vice judicial affairs minister Makoto Taki as justice minister, and vice reconstruction minister Tadahiro Matsu*****a as postal services minister.

4.On the heels of Fitch's sovereign credit downgrade to A plus (the fifth-highest investment grade), Japan's government debt continues to swell(膨胀). With its debt at over 200% of its GDP, the Land of the Rising Sun appears to be embarking on a trek into the debt-laden unknown.

my comment:
To be honest, Japan's economy once was a miracle. There's a gap between China's economy and Japan's. China's population is about 10 times of Japan's and the  GDP per capita is only 1/10 of Japan's. However, we have many similarities. Japan's economy offers a good template for our country to use as a reference. Nowadays, China and Japan is closely related in economy, particularly in trade and high-tech. In the future, the relation is likely to be deepened.
Someone describe Japan's debt as "the domino that never fall", it's very humorous but exact. We have to notice that the risk are still exist.  The swell debt has a snowball effect to drag  Japan's economy. China has bought more Japanese government bonds, which is only relatively safe.
I greatly appreciate your opinion about the relevant issue.

MARK first

Japanese government is a trouble maker for China, its claiming for our Diaoyu Islands and its high profile intervention in South China sea......Oh, sorry. This is not the place to talk about politic issues.
As for economy, Japan is the world's third largest entities.The closer economic relation with Japan benefits not only Japan but also China. We should borrow some exprience from it to boost our own economic development but we should also aware that Japan is not a good guy.

I was worried about Japan is becoming the next euro zone, but it may not burst out fast a bit like US. China recently bought more bonds from Japan, although the interest rate is rather low. But what can be done? Before becoming an international reserve policy, China still has to pay attention to government debt, both in state and local aspect.

Japan's Prime Minister resigned several times in the last several years. Some reform(refome) measures are expected to be taken. As to the opposition party, the relatively fewer positions in the cabinet don't have much meaning in political sense.

He has staked his premiership on the sales tax
他愿意牺牲其首相职位来推行消费税(翻番)
a move 应该指野田积极推行消费税税率翻番
international bodies  国际机构
greying society
老龄化社会
factionalised world of Japanese politics
日本政治内部派系林立
toward the end of the current parliamentary session
直至现任议会任期的结束,(消费税率是否加倍将是一个影响日本未来的决定),可见这个问题很重要,很敏感

应该差不多,欢迎您的指正,我对日本不太了解,接触下这样的文章有好处,日本人的英语名字太无语了····
