What are the political considerations for Abe to postpone his visit to India at a sensitive time after the riots in India?
Why did Japanese Prime Minister Abe postpone his visit to India? Personally, I think it is mainly due to two major reasons. the first major reason is to take care of international public opinion and highlight Japan's attention to the focus of the world. The second major reason is the safety factor.
Highlight Japan's attention to world problems. Japan is a responsible big country.
Japan has been dreaming of being a great power for a long time, and visiting India is also a continuation of the dream of a great power. In order to win over India, India announced that it would not participate in the 16-nation ASEAN trade circle for the time being; Japan then announced that India would not participate, and Japan would not participate either.
Japan has always been more concerned about international focus issues, showing that it is an international power and is responsible for world public opinion. India has sparked national riots over the publication of the Citizenship Amendment. The Indian government has excluded Muslims from the three neighboring countries, which has been strongly protested and demonstrated by 200 million Muslim peoples in India. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and the Indian government's decision to discriminate against religions has angered Muslims all over the world.
The US Bureau of religious Affairs (the Committee) attaches great importance to the demonstrations and casualties caused by the "Citizenship Amendment" signed by the President of India on the 12th, and is prepared to submit a bill to the US Congress to sanction India. A State Department spokesman also urged the Indian government to protect the rights of religious minorities.
On the 13th, Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported that the United Nations said India's new law discriminated against Muslim groups and called on India's Supreme Court to review it.
Japan has always claimed that it is a responsible big country that "abides by the law and discipline". In fact, it is a country that looks at the United States and the United Nations. Japan originally wanted to attract India to follow it. In view of the attitude of the United States and the United Nations towards India, Shinzo Abe postponed his visit to India to demonstrate his responsibility as a great power.
Responsible for the safety of the delegation led by Abe Jinzo.
The "2nd" ministerial delegation led by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is an important visit by Japan to India.
India and Japan announced to each other that they would postpone their participation in an important trade negotiation after the ASEAN "10-6" trade negotiations. Both the Japanese government and the Indian government have great hopes.
The visit to India, originally scheduled for December 15, was cancelled, in addition to the focus of public opinion in the world, the security factor is also an important part. The Japanese Foreign Ministry announced that "coordination is very difficult now." Since the 13th, the Indian government announced that some cities in northeastern India have imposed an indefinite curfew. People have gathered in defiance of the curfew, and demonstrations have left two people dead and many injured. People are still taking to the streets one after another, and the Indian government has sent a large number of troops and peacekeeping police to the "troubled areas". In Assam, one of the centers of the protest, the state's student union announced that it would increase the intensity of continuous protests every day until the government withdrew the controversial bill. This basically represents the attitude of various protest areas in India. Basu, leader of the West Bengal people's Party, was also attacked by demonstrators on December 13. A railway station in West Bengal was set on fire by demonstrators. Indian media reported that security guards at the railway station clashed with demonstrators and were besieged and beaten by thousands of demonstrators.
In well-known Muslim populated areas, in response to increasingly fierce conflicts in India, the state governments of West Bengal, Kerala and Punjab have announced that they will not implement the Citizenship Amendment.
In order to quell the unrest, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent three tweets on December 12 to reassure the people that "the government will not deprive Aram brothers and sisters of their rights." Due to the disconnection of the Internet implemented by the relevant Indian authorities in the riot area, people could not see the tweets sent by Modi at all.
One of the areas that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe led a delegation to visit this time is the focus of the riots in India. In order to take care of India's face, but also for its own security, the Japanese government announced that it should only postpone, not cancel, its official visit to India on the 15th.
Abe's visit to India is to find the market, but under such circumstances, his visit is to make trouble for Japan.
The Indian Parliament issued a household registration policy, stipulating that all those who entered India before 2014 due to persecution in the country can settle down normally except the Muslim population. The Islamic population (mainly aimed at the newly annexed Kashmir) will be expelled (Kashmir will be completely Hindu) into stateless international refugees, and this territorial expansion policy will undoubtedly be angered and hated by Muslims all over the world. Also by the United States (justice) tough treatment, Abe visited India at this time, do not go to the Persian Gulf in the future.
No one has the right to blame India's internal affairs and great power ambitions, but such a policy of racial discrimination in order to annex territory will undoubtedly be met by indigenous Muslims in the country (which has set off riots). More importantly, there is anger and hatred among both Muslim countries in the Gulf, as well as widespread opposition around the world.
If Prime Minister Abe visits India at this time, what will be fished out? the Japanese will understand with their heels, what about their relations with Iran and Saudi Arabia? Japan's industrial blood oil supply, what about the Japanese industrial export market, this impact can be a long-term impact, including the overall GCC Arab League, ASEAN, Malaysia, Indonesia and so on. What will all countries with Muslim populations think of Japan? Even the American hegemon has to show his attitude for this. Where does Abe have the courage to stand on top of the smoke? There are also Japan's cooperation projects with India, it is difficult to avoid interaction with Muslim communities, what will happen in the future when visiting India? Under such circumstances, it is certainly impossible for a shrewd Japanese to dig a hole for himself.
Although Japan can do whatever it takes to grab the market and spend a lot of money on the high-speed rail project, it is for the market to make money, not for bad luck. He in India inherited the expansion culture of the patriarch and the feeling of sunset glory, and did whatever it takes to do so. Under the pattern of today's world civilized order, he still used such a rough jungle law to carry out territorial expansion. He wanted to use this way to ease the decline of public opinion caused by the cliff decline of economic development, but also created the antagonistic mood of national and religious omission in the country. There is no doubt that the support rate of the government and the development environment of the national economy are even worse. That's India's own business. what does it have to do with Japan?
Under such circumstances, who can give Abe a better reason to grasp India at this time and accompany India through the cold of misdeed and loneliness? Are the American bosses stupid in Japan?
Recently, a very controversial thing happened in India, which made Modi very controversial in India.
This is the Citizenship Act that India has been debating in recent months.
The bill allows India to accept people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to enter India as refugees and obtain Indian citizenship, but does not include Muslims in these three countries.
Mr Modi's people's Party has been pushing for it, and after several discussions in parliament, Indian President Covent signed it into law on December 12th.
The opposition believes that it is unconstitutional for the BJP to pass the Citizenship Act because it violates the principle of religious equality in India. It will weaken the 200 million Muslims in India.
So, from the day of passage, there have been riots in Muslim neighborhoods in India. Many people simply call the bill the "anti-Muslim law", especially in the northeastern state of Tripla, especially among Indians in Assam.
There were serious protests and riots in some places, train stations were set on fire, and clashes between police and protesters resulted in many deaths and injuries.
At the same time, many parts of India have begun to oppose the bill, and some states with a large Muslim population have indicated that they will not accept the implementation of the bill in their own states.
Then why does this have anything to do with Japan?
Because Abe had planned to visit India on December 15, which happens to be the northeastern part of India, where Modi will also meet with Abe.
At present, this is the center of the protests in India, and it is clear that it is no longer qualified to receive Abe's visit.
In this context, Japan indicated that it would cancel the visit plan.
What do you think of this bill?
In fact, it is a crystallization of Modi's nationalist conservative thought.
It seems that the bill is aimed at the non-Muslim population of several other countries, but the fundamental goal is for the 6 million Muslims in India who are currently unable to confirm their citizenship.
They are mainly Muslims who sought refuge in India during the civil war in Bangladesh in 1971. These people will face two choices: 1) be deported and 2) convert to Hinduism.
This is why there is such a fuss in northeastern India, which borders Bangladesh and is home to these people.
Modi obviously wants Hindus to gain a more dominant position in India step by step, marginalizing domestic minorities, so as to avoid bigger domestic problems when India contacts or even goes to war with neighboring Muslim countries.
But the bill is actually considered dangerous by the international community.
U. S. officials have criticized Modi for not taking care of the human rights of ethnic minorities.
