Former Japanese Prime minister, Shinzo Abe has been assassinated in Japan. Shinzo Abe was Japan's longest serving prime minister.

Abe was born in Tokyo on Sept. 21, 1954. After graduating from the capital's Seikei University in 1977, he moved to the U.S. and spent three semesters at the University of Southern California, studying English, political science, history and international relations, according to USC.

But it was Shinzo Abe who would serve longer than any other — as prime minister from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020.

Quote: Abe helped lay the groundwork for Japan to side with the U.S. in its ongoing rivalry with China. Abe was of the view that Japan's power position is dependent on its strong alliance with the United States," said political scientist Nakano, at a time when Japan was in demographic decline and China, in 2010, surpassed Japan as the world's second-largest economy.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Leaves Legacy of Western Pacific Security Changes

“a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency, and therefore an emergency for the Japan-U.S. alliance. People in Beijing, President Xi Jinping in particular, should never have a misunderstanding in recognizing this.” Abe
