In August, at least 10 demonstrations were broken up with force. One demonstrator lost vision in his eye. A 15-year-old boy was shot and is now in intensive care, although the police have denied firing live ammunition. Hundreds have been arrested for sedition. The anger is fierce. This year, more than 12,000 people have died of Covid-19, compared to fewer than 100 last year. The economy has been ravaged, with tourism all but nonexistent and manufacturing slowed. Opposition lawmakers in Parliament also tried to pass a vote of no confidence in the prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha, although that effort failed on Saturday. Vaccines: This summer’s vaccine rollout, already late, was further hampered by manufacturing delays. Only about 15 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, and [social inequalities](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjF7T8P4QRAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDcvMjQvd29ybGQvYXNpYS90aGFpbGFuZC1jcmFzaC1yZWQtYnVsbC1oZWlyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjEwOTA2Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5NzAzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VhcmNoUmVzdWx0UG9zaXRpb249MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTY4MTg0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgphMPwvNWH7QBpkUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) have let the young rich leapfrog ahead of older, poorer people.

Suga’s abrupt decision came after he had spent days trying to salvage his historically unpopular administration, battered by Japan’s struggles with the coronavirus.

Now, Suga’s decision has thrown Japan into deep political uncertainty. He announced his decision just two weeks before the party leadership race is set to begin on Sept. 17, which will likely determine the next prime minister. Legacy: Suga, 72, had been a behind-the-scenes operator in the governing Liberal Democratic Party, which has dominated Japanese politics for decades. A deeply uncharismatic leader, he struggled to connect with citizens and often looked uncomfortable in public. Context: His departure raises the prospect of a return to the revolving-door leadership that once characterized the top office of the world’s third-largest economy.
