Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe ? Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe  head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party  leaves a news conference at the partyâs headquarters in Tokyo on Oct. 23. (Kiyoshi Ota/Bloomberg News)
On Sunday  Japanâs Liberal Democratic Party won a landslide victory  winning 284 of the 465 seats in the lower house of the Diet. Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâs junior coalition partner  Komeito  added 29 seats  giving the ruling coalition a two-thirds supermajority.
In addition to freeing the LDP from a mandatory ballot challenge before 2021  Abeâs election victory provides new support for  his  efforts to amend Japanâs pacifist constitution.
 Abe  went into the election arguing that  his  track record on the economy and national security should be the decisive factor  and voters appear to have agreed. Japan faces new security challenges from two of its neighbors. North Korean missiles have passed over Japan twice in recent months  leaving Japanese citizens rattled by early-morning text alerts. And at the recent Communist Party Congress in Beijing  President Xi Jinping promised that China would be âmoving closer to center stage â raising additional concerns in Japan.
The ruling coalitionâs supermajority ensures not only that  Abe  will remain in power  but also that  he  can now push for a revision of Japanâs constitution   his  personal pledge and an unfulfilled element of the LDP platform since 1955. Although many in the public remain skeptical of the constitutional revision plan  the LDPâs success in this election represents an endorsement of the ruling coalitionâs governing ability  particularly on security issues.

There may also be debates within the ruling coalition on the need for Japan to deploy its own surface-to-surface missiles to enhance deterrence vis-a-vis North Korea.  Abe  has not taken a public stand on these âcounterstrike capabilities â which would to give Japan the ability to neutralize North Korean ballistic missiles on their launchpads. This would be an abrupt change from a postwar defense policy that has remained strictly defensive  with few offensive capabilities.
 Abe  will also continue moderate spending increases on Japanâs air and naval capabilities in an attempt to counter Chinaâs much higher spending on the Peopleâs Liberation Army. The numerical balance of fighter aircraft and surface combatants has been steadily shifting in Chinaâs favor for decades.
More recently  however  Xi has begun streamlining the PLA to strengthen its war-fighting effectiveness in preparation for a potential conflict in the Western Pacific.  Abe  knows that maintaining deterrence will require closer cooperation with the United States and continued reforms to break down the postwar barriers to the effectiveness of Japanâs own forces.
Will  Abe  revise Japanâs constitution?
Two years ago   Abe  pushed through a reinterpretation of the constitution to allow new defense guidelines and operations with the United States and other like-minded states. Many in  his  party support revising the second half of Article 9 to declare that Japanâs military is constitutional  though intended only for self-defense.
Support from pacifist-leaning coalition partner Komeito will probably be forthcoming  and friendly governments such as the United States and Australia are likely to be supportive as well. China will protest  as might South Korea  but polls elsewhere in the region suggest that Japan has moved beyond its wartime image. Nevertheless  Article 9 is highly political and ideological;  Abe  will have to carry out  his  promise to build domestic consensus before proceeding.
Despite President Trumpâs harsh rhetoric about Japan during  his  election campaign   Abe  has deftly engaged with the new administration in Washington and managed to build significant trust with Trump.  Abe  was the first foreign leader to visit Trump  and Trump will start  his  first Asia tour by spending several days in Japan in November.
Trumpâs tough line on North Korea is likely to be well received in Japan  but  his  hostile view toward trade (particularly the rejection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership) continues to perplex Tokyo. Japanese leaders argue that allies should be leading on rulemaking to manage the mercantilist challenge from China.

Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hugo Chavez ? The increasingly difficult climate for home builders and the inability of the Chavez government to deliver on promises to build enough apartments and houses have led to a housing deficit now estimated at 2 million units.
 Chavez has announced several plans to address the problem  and has often said housing should be controlled by the government. He recently announced a new kind of low-income housing to be financed by oil revenues. Still  last year  private industry built 45 600 units  twice as many as the government.
 Cabello  the Chavez minister who announced the decree requiring builders to refund buyers  said his office had received 1 700 complaints in recent weeks from home buyers about excessive mark-ups for inflation.
 So far this year  Chavez and his local allies have seized dozens of private properties  mostly farms and ranches that the government deems underutilized. He has also encouraged squatters to occupy land and residential buildings. The measures reflect Chavez's goal of building a socialist economy and to weaken private enterprise  but they have had a chilling effect on new construction  thus exacerbating the housing shortage  critics say.
 One new wrinkle was added this week when Chavez allies in the Vargas state government authorized the takeover of two golf courses in a Caracas suburb called Caraballada. Local officials say the courses will be converted into housing and parkland.
 "Venezuela has always had a housing deficit  but it's gotten worse in the last 10 years  since Chavez took office " Puente said. "With the oil price boom  he has had the resources to improve things  but relatively little has been accomplished."
 If the government decree sticks  Briceno is unsure how he will manage the refunds and whether he will be able to keep his 300 workers on the payroll.
 "If this becomes law " he said  "the collateral effects will be loss of jobs and economic paralysis."

Answer:
Positive
