Aso Chosen to lead Japan. Ruling party stalwart faces economic, political troubles
Tokyo: TARO ASO , a former foreign minister who delivers snappy speeches, reads mangacomics and talks tough about China, was selcted to be Japan's next prime minister.

He has warned about the dangers of secretive Chinese military spending, but he also reassured China that he would not view with hostility that country's economic development. China is Japan's biggest trading partner.
"It is the Economy." Smart Aso! His name sounds like: Is that so? His first name sounds to mean "overly revealing/outspoken" in phonetic Chinese with humor. His first name and last name appear to dovetail his personal character in the light vein with such coincidence. I was forced to study Japanese after Pearl Harbor after December 8, 1941 at Hautes Etudes in Tianjin, China.
