Fumio Kishida is a former Japanese top diplomat. Now, he's set to become prime minister.

He's been seen as a safe choice for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party as it faces general elections in November.

Kishida has pledged to counter China's growing influence, and promised to narrow Japan's income inequality gap. But will he succeed?

Join host Sami Zeidan. 

With guests, Professor of Political Science at Musashino University Donna Weeks, Professor of Management at the University of Shizuoka Seijiro Takeshita, and Professor of International Studies at Kyoritsu Women’s University Craig Mark.
