Abe was rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. He was 67 years old.

Japan's elections are in 3 days. Abe has been a fierce opponent of communism and globalism throughout his career, as well as a staunch ally of Taiwan. He also broke from many world leaders on his view of the Russia-Ukrainian war.

Chinese citizens are apparently celebrating his death on social media.

In the US, members of the far-left were reportedly celebrating as well.
