Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which is transported to Tokyo's residential vision China

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is the president of the Liberal Democratic Party's "Qinghe Policy Research Society", and the association is currently the largest faction within the Liberal Democratic Party. Since its establishment in 1955, there have been many different factions within the Liberal Democratic Party, and the name of the faction is usually referred to by the president's surname. For example, the former chairman of the "Qinghe Policy Research Association" was once Hosada, so it was previously called Hosada, and the Liberal Democratic Party Hiroshi Society led by Japanese Prime Minister Kishida is also known as Kishida.

The "Qinghe Policy Research Association" was founded in 1979 by Japan's late Prime Minister Fukuda. The original name of the association was "Qinghehui". In 1998, the former Prime Minister of Japan, Mori Mori, was renamed the "Qinghe Policy Research Association" while serving as the chairman, and has been in use to this day. If the creator is included, the "Qinghe Policy Research Association" has produced 5 Japanese Prime Minister, namely Fukuda Kafu, Mori Koi, Koizumi Koji, Fukuda Kangfu and Shinzo Abe. The reason why the Qinghe Policy Research Association (Abe) is currently the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party, mainly because the number of Liberal Democratic Party members owned by the Abe faction is the largest, far exceeding the other factions in the Liberal Democratic Party. According to the public information of the "Qinghe Policy Research Association" website, Abe currently has a total of 94 members of the parliament (including Abe himself), including 60 members and 34 senators. At the same time, Matsno Koichi Matsno, the current Cabinet Guanfang, the current Defense Minister Anxinfu, and the current President of the Liberal Democratic Party, Futian Dafu, are all affiliated to Abe. Therefore, from the perspective of the Liberal Democratic Party's "factional mechanics" or from the perspective of the political influence on reality, Abe has greater advantages than other factions within the Liberal Democratic Party.

After the death of Shinzo Abe, the Liberal Democratic Party's future survival became the focus of Japanese public opinion. Despite 94 members of Congress, the Abe did not have a character who can fully serve the public, which led to the general expected that the Japanese media would generally expect that the Abe may be split in the future, or its members were absorbed by other factions within the Liberal Democratic Party. Therefore, Abe's accident and the future direction of the Abe will not only affect the "faction mechanics" within the Liberal Democratic Party, but also will also control the future trend of the Japanese political situation.
