Following Japan's Sunday election, media outlets in South Korea have provided extensive news coverage analyzing the implications of the results, and the shape of future Japanese politics.

South Korea's KBS said that the main ruling Liberal Democratic Party failed to secure a majority with its coalition partner in the lower house, the benchmark it would consider as an election victory.

The public broadcaster said it was a serious blow, considering that the LDP had maintained a majority on its own since the period of the second Abe Shinzo administration.

KBS said LDP leader Ishiba Shigeru now faces a situation in which even his reappointment as Prime Minister is unclear.

Major South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported that dark clouds are hanging over the future of the government led by Ishiba, which has been in office in less than a month.

It adds that constitutional amendments favored by a group of LDP politicians will be difficult to push through because they may not have the numbers to submit a motion for the changes.

Yonhap News Agency pointed out that it has become difficult to gain the power to promote Ishiba's own policies such as the establishment of an Asian version of NATO.

Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a news conference on Monday that he will not comment on Japan's domestic affairs.

He said that long-term, healthy and stable development of the China-Japan relationship will meet the fundamental interests of the people of both countries.

He said that he hopes the Japanese side will face the Chinese side to comprehensively advance the strategic and mutually beneficial relationship and make efforts to build constructive and stable bilateral relations that would meet the demands of a new era.

Chinese media reported that the issue of politics and money largely affected the Japanese election results.

State-run China Central Television carried a comment by an expert at the Institute of Japanese Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Science, a government-affiliated think tank.

It said people must monitor whether Ishiba will take more radical measures in foreign policy under the influence of conservative politicians within his party or populists which are increasing their presence in the country.
