Quick Glance: What is Abe's legacy? Japan has taken another step toward reawakening its fighting spirit.
- On Sunday, Japan's Prime Minister and President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Fumio Kishida, observes election results in Tokyo.
- As prime minister, and then as head of the largest of the ruling party's five factions, he devoted himself to removing the limitation, to making Japan a "normal nation."
- In 2017, Japanese soldiers participated in joint military exercises in Guam with the United States, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
- Abe urged that Japan consider sharing responsibility for the "nuclear umbrella" that protects US allies with the US.
- He also stated that any "Taiwan crisis" would be a "Japan crisis."
