Last year, we saw a major change in the Japanese administration for the first time in half a century. This led to changes of direction in both internal administration and diplomacy. These waves are likely to continue this year, 2010, also. Both Japanese and non-Japanese press are expected to follow the moves of the new administration with close attention.
