Japanese Primier's Sudden Resignation

I thought the news that Shinzo Abe as Japanese 90th Prime Minister will step down suddenly right after Apec submmit Meeting in Australia had  never occured to everyone who is keen to Japanese politics.    I by myself was so surprised to this news because Abe as  current Prime Minister of Japan is very popular with majority of Chinese for he since his inception of taking office last August actively improve Sino-Japan diplamatic relation that was so tdespressing  during last Primier Minister's tenure. 

Last weekend,  it is reported that Abe has been sent into hospital to have treatment for his exhaustion and intestinal malady which may explain his sudden resignation as prime minister reasonably and also presumably. Meanwhile Japan Island also release the news that new prime minister will be elected in this  September among two candiates: Taro Aso who is current secretary-general of the Liberal Democracy Party and an ally of Mr Abe most obvious choice to replace him, another one: Yaso Fukuda  a semi-retired party elder. Whoever will be elected as PM of Japan, we hope he will keep attaching importance to Sino-Japan friend ties in future.
