Japan Starts Afresh

Devin Stewart, Newsweek | October 30, 2009

Japan's new PM Yukio Hatoyama has been spelling out his political philosophy this week. ++ “Japan would seek to temper the turbulence of globalization by promoting the free market and would take moral leadership on the world stage by aiding poor countries in their fight against climate change.” ++ This fresh approach is named 'yuai' and is a huge step forward. ++ “It is an attempt to forge a new identity for Japan [and put] one of the world's largest economies at the forefront of those nations seeking solutions to the world's problems.”
