保守派人物古谢玄太胜出冲绳知事选举,获日本首相高市早苗支持

Quick Look

周日,保守派政治人物古谢玄太在冲绳知事选举中以约59%的得票率击败现任知事玉城丹尼,成为冲绳县历史上最年轻的知事。日本首相高市早苗表示欢迎其胜选,称其反映了冲绳人民对经济增长的诉求。古谢的胜利将削弱长期反对美军基地的和平运动,并支持将美军基地从南部转移至北部的计划。

Why It Matters

冲绳县位于日本南部,由多个亚热带岛屿组成,面积仅占日本国土面积的0.6%,却容纳了日本70%的美国基地。自二战后美国占领冲绳并在1972年归还日本后继续保留基地,当地长期存在反对美军存在的和平运动。玉城丹尼曾两次当选知事,并以反对新基地建设为竞选核心。

周日,一名42岁的保守派政治人物在冲绳知事选举中胜出。这对日本鹰派首相高市早苗来说是一场胜利,她正寻求加快军事建设以对抗中国。

那霸副市长古谢玄太击败了已连任两届的现知事玉城丹尼。玉城曾批评高市早苗的防务政策,并反对在冲绳岛建设新的美军设施。古谢将于本月晚些时候就职,届时他将成为冲绳县历史上最年轻的知事。冲绳县位于日本南部,由多个亚热带岛屿组成。

根据周一早些时候公布的计票结果,古谢在约71.8万张选票中赢得了约59%的选票,对手玉城的得票率约为38%。玉城的母亲是日本人,父亲是一名美国海军陆战队员,得到日本左倾政党的支持。他将振兴经济作为竞选的核心纲领。

“我认为选举结果说明,许多人选择推动冲绳向前发展,”古谢周日在一份声明中表示。

高市早苗周一表示,古谢的胜选“反映了冲绳人民寻求经济增长的意愿”。她没有提及安全问题。

“我将与新任冲绳知事密切合作,尽我所能加强冲绳的经济,”她在东京首相官邸对聚集在那里的记者们说。

玉城在一份声明中承认败选,他说:“我想尊重民众的意愿。我还有很多想在第三个任期中实现的事,但我打算将这一结果作为力量的来源。”

古谢的胜利将打击冲绳的和平运动,该运动多年来一直反对美国在岛上的军事存在。冲绳人口150万,面积仅占日本国土面积的0.6%,却容纳了日本70%的美国基地。(美国在二战后从日本手中夺取冲绳,1972年归还该岛,但继续在那里设有基地。)

许多仍记得那场战争的年长一代拒绝中央政府将冲绳打造成对抗中国军事侵略的堡垒的计划。他们说,更多军队的存在使该岛愈发成为目标。

去年上任的高市已推进冲绳进一步军事化的计划,包括向该地区派遣更多部队,并扩大导弹和电子战能力。

冲绳是日本最南端的县,因靠近中国和台湾而具有战略意义。长期以来,美军在冲绳驻扎了大量兵力,约有3万名现役军人。由于当地居民对污染、噪音及犯罪问题的担忧,美军的存在几十年来一直是引发该岛局势紧张的根源之一。

古谢得到高市的自民党和其他保守政党支持,在竞选期间表示愿意与美国人合作。他表示将支持一项计划,把海军陆战队使用的一个繁忙的空军基地从冲绳南部转移到北部人口较少的沿海地区。玉城多年来一直强烈反对该计划,并将其作为竞选的标志性议题。

古谢还用坚决的语气谈论该地区不断上升的安全威胁,包括来自中国的威胁以及日本军自卫队现代化的必要性。

China amends National Defense Mobilization Law to give wider reasons and scope for mobilization

China’s newly revised National Defense Mobilization Law will take effect on October 1, marking the first major revision of the law in 16 years. The new law defines national defense mobilization as activities to respond to threats to national sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, security and development interests. For the first time, "development interests" are included in the reasons for mobilization, and the scope of mobilization is expanded to include data, network security and other fields. Scholars pointed out that the revised law aims to establish capabilities to support large-scale wars and long-term attrition, and can be used for national mobilization during peacetime competition between China and the United States. The assets of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland may be expropriated, triggering concerns about legal conflicts between the two sides.
