When Abe became Prime Minister almost three years ago, he vowed to restore Japan’s standing as a “first-tier country” by implementing an economic stimulus package, dubbed “Abenomics,” and reinterpreting Japan’s constitution to stiffen the country’s defense posture. But, whereas Abenomics was enacted quickly, the Diet enacted the defense legislation only recently – and after more than a year of effort.
安倍近三年前担任首相时，曾发誓要通过实行被外界称之为“安倍经济学”的经济刺激计划让日本重新进入“第一梯队”并加强国家防御、重新解释日本宪法。但虽然安倍经济学立竿见影，但议会经过一年多的努力仅仅在不久前才通过了国防法。
