On the night of the 24th, the four candidates for the Constitutional Democratic Party's representative election argued over how to deal with China, which is strengthening its supremacy.
The four candidates attended the debate on the video distribution site "Nico Nico Douga" held on the night of the 24th.
Regarding the response to China, which is strengthening its supremacy,
▽ Former Prime Minister Aisaka said, "As economic and military power grows, it is really difficult to get along with each other. It should be said that it interferes with domestic affairs. The Beijing Olympics has relationships with other countries, but in some cases it could be a political boycott. "
▽ Ogawa, Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly, said, "It is basic to say that the expansion policy and the suppression of human rights are tough with a decent attitude as a good neighbor. Stability in the Asia-Pacific region is extremely important, and a persistent dialogue attitude It is also necessary not to close the channel. "
▽ Izumi, the chairman of the political affairs investigation, said, "We should consider enacting a law to impose sanctions on human rights issues against foreign officials involved in human rights violations like in Europe and the United States. You should make a decision as it comes out. "
▽ Former Deputy Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Nishimura said, "There are serious concerns about human rights not only in China but also in Afghanistan and Myanmar. It is an initiative unique to Japan to firmly promote human rights diplomacy including such situations. That's it. "
In the representative election of the Constitutional Democratic Party, four people will continue to argue, such as a street speech in Yokohama on the 25th, and a ballot counting will be held on the 30th of this month to elect a new representative.
