I tend to agree with many aspects of President Obama's policies.

While many technological measures can be taken to secure safety at nuclear power plants, such measures on their own cannot cover great risks.

When the world has 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 nuclear plants, can we call that a safe world? I think we need to properly have this debate.

After the Second World War, people in Japan no longer died for their country, and even that expression was no longer used.

I wouldn't call myself anti-nuclear.

China has become a major presence for most countries around the world but notably for its neighboring countries in Asia. So I think it is a common position for Japan and its Asian neighbors that we certainly would strive to maintain as much as possible friendly relations with China.
