The reputation of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was killed earlier this year, has taken a hit.

Japan said it would reopen the country next month to regular tourism, hoping to leverage the cheap yen to attract visitors and lift its sluggish economy.

Government officials in Tokyo said Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was preparing soon to lift entry restrictions and put Japan on par with the U.S. and European nations that generally allow short-term tourists to visit freely without Covid-19 tests. Currently, Japan bars individual tourists.

Hideji Suzuki, former head of a Japan-China friendship organization, was held in China for more than six years over what he says was a false charge of espionage. In the afternoon of July 15, 2016, Hideji Suzuki got out of a taxi at the Beijing airport to catch a plane back to Japan following a five-day Japan-China friendship event. He recalls that after he walked a few steps, five muscular men suddenly surrounded him and asked him in Chinese whether he was Mr. Suzuki. He said yes and was shoved into a white van. The men told him he was being detained on suspicion of espionage, blindfolded him and seized his phone.
