Japan's New Prime Minister

The election of August 30th ended in Yukio Hatoyama' party winning. Taro Aso's, the previous PM of Japan, party had lost by a huge margin, nearly 3-yo-1. Hatoyama plans on building stronger ties with the US, and especially China. The new Democratic Party of Japan will lead with more left-wings perspectives, unlike the previous conservative party. The new party does plan on having talks with the US about military agreements, since over 50 thousand US troops are in Japan. Although no major changes are foreseen to happen.
