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.

I wouldn't call myself anti-nuclear. I seek a society non-reliant on nuclear energy, a society that can do without nuclear energy, and Japan can prove a role model. It’s possible.

I believe in any country, matters that relate to its territory would, of course, provoke strong sentiments amongst the people of that country.

It is possible for Japan to become the model of a society that does not rely on nuclear power.
