The shock announcement comes as Mr Suga's approval ratings dropped to an all-time low.

Let’s hope the Japanese fear China more than the China virus and vote for someone who can / will fight.

Seeing stocks going up on his announcement may be a hint the globalists are rubbing their hands together ?
