Yasuo Fukuda: China and Minister

yasuo fukuda: His father, Shintaro Abe, served as foreign minister and his mother was the daughter of Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi who, though classified as a Class A war criminal, went on to become prime minister in the 1950s, according to The Japan Times. Abe has said that he carries Kishi's DNA. ; Similarly, in China, the core leader, President Xi Jinping, is the son of Xi Zhongxun, regarded as among the first generation of leaders of the People's Republic of China. At the very top, Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is the scion of a political family. China's ranks of senior officials are filled with princelings, including those who gained their status through marriage. Thus, when Yasuo Fukuda became Japan's leader in 2007, China rejoiced because his father, Takeo Fukuda, as prime minister, had signed a treaty of peace and friendship with China in 1978 and initiated economic aid for China. Chinese analyses of Japanese officials often take into consideration the political dynasty from which they spring. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
