@Zichi,

lol, Xinjiang has the highest birth rate in China @ 1.6, Tibet #2 at 1.588 all other minorities area of Guangxi, Hainan are top versus China overall 1.048 birth rate. below are link by Singapore NUS

I keep hearing 1.0 mil, 1.5 mil, and even 2.0 mil Uighurs detainees. LoL 1 in 10 of Uighurs being detained? This is utterly gross exaggeration without verifiable sources, Just imagine how many camps needed to house 1 million?? and how many billions the Chinese govt need to spend on this program. There is also loud outcry of forced eating pork, no maghrib prayer, “asalamallaikum” greetings were banned, Uighurs so fearful of not learning mandarin….a free birth control program is described as forced sterilization, forced abortions, rapes……organ harvest, you name it. All phoney baloney of the slanderous western media who has nothing to do. Alas, many Uighurs still able to get exit visa from China authority, shuttling Xinjiang / Beijing / US/ EU to spread their lies.

@ Zichi Untrue. Watched a report today including from Uyghurs who had escaped to Turkey. Rape of women. Birthdate down 88%. Women raped in the camps.

there are thousands of reports being published, 90% are western lies, fabrications and exaggerations. They are paid NGO's, a hosts of " uighur refugees" got exit visa, and travel freely beijing/xinjiang/EU/US to spread their lies. 54 countries + 90% OIC members in UN are for China Xinjiang de radicalization program versus 22 mainly western hypocrites. there's are no doubts jailed uighurs separatists, fanatics, extremists, who carried out 27 terrorist attacks across China. here're some good link; and do read other side of stories, don't be fooled by Japan uyoku, extremists and those slanderous western media.

and many others. stop the lies!! western regimes have their agenda to bring /contain China. but China is not Russia, Western regimes include Japan must accept and live with another giant.

sports events are supposedly apolitical, many paid NGO's, rights groups have different agenda and working for their paymaster. I think IOC should stay away from it as each country have their own solutions to its internal problems, and that may ultimately curtail some civilian rights.

Concerning the Uyghurs, 1000+ delegations include UN security chief, OIC, western media, journalists that have visited Xinjiang have confirmed that there is no genocide there. The Uyghurs are very well looked after by China with subsidized vocational training camps, job skill upgrade, free mandarin class to promote intra cultural communication, cultural social nights etc.

besides she could continue to receive her mother pension cheques and lived in the municipal subsidized flat, this is clearly not the first case in Japan. It's also the failure of the Social Welfare Dept and its workers for their lax rules/checks.

I support female throne, but to void the constant debates in parliament and waste of taxpayers money to upkeep this antiquated feudal system. it's good that Japan to consider the abolishment of their imperial household.

Japan needs to face up the reality of its aggression during WW2, and to pay its price for the lesson, I don't think Russian will ever return this islands and probably it'll be Russianized eventually. Personally I would not return none of the islands, as I do not ever want to see US or Japan to build military base in my backyard. The likelihood of returning 2 islands seems possible if and when US completely withdraw its troops from Japan.

Diaoyu/ Senkaku is 170km from Taiwan coast, more than 1000 km from Japanese main island, no counting illegally annexed Ryukiu islands. Diaoyu / Senkaku has been administered and fall under jurisdiction of Yilan county, Taiwan for centuries. It's best that Japan return this island to Taiwan authority.

Where is Mike Pompeo??

Japan society should stop being a "busybody" and gossip / report at each others how they dress, how the conform, how individual behave....starting at workplace, neighbors, just mind yourself and be more individualistic, stop creating a "pressure cooker" without your own self. WHO CARES, WHY BORDERS attitude should prevail.

there's no concentration camps in Xinjiang, it's just vocational schools. China taking the preventive approach of De radicalization program for IS returnees. These are all blatant lies fabricated from Turkey Ughyurs terrorists with support from American NGO's

Uyghurs are non native to Xinjiang, but Kazakh, Ubek, Kyrgry, Turkiskh were, Uyghurs were late comer from Anatolia region of Turkey to Xinjiang and they were given a refuge land called YiLi in Xinjiang.

Diaoyu /Senkaku island is 170 km from Taiwan but more than 1000 km from Japan main island. Taiwan Yilan county administered Diaoyu island for ages, clearly Japan snatched the island from Taiwan during their colonization.

Legalize drugs, that is the only way to fight this problem

Does not seem so.......there's no end to it, marijuana is already legalized in some western countries, but the junkies are now talking of legalize cocaine, next will be heroin, next will be crystal meth.....bla bla blah.

Marijuana /ganja/ weeds are past tense, for recreation purposes only, after legalization, it costs twice the black market, drug junkies have no interest in this honestly, they want something cheap and potent, and drug dealers resort in mixing them with fentanyl or carfentanyl.

Vancouver is world #2 exporter of stimulant drugs like ecstasy, crystal meth, glad the Japanese custom can confiscate such big load, of which may only represent 10% of the drugs being sneaked into Japan. North America has been world's #1 drug junkies with overdose death easily surpassed 30,000 per year. Hope Japan will take strict measure.

someone got drunk.

putting aside animosity of the West & Commie China, HK frustrations run deep way in the British era, a colony

with no universal suffrage but a governor appointed from far away UK, a colony dictated by real estate moguls, property tycoons and run by puppet, the run away housing prices make affordability a distant dream for many youngsters. An almost 20+ years stagnant wages for many new graduates, a functional democratic runned by malfunctioned constituents who opposed or malevolent-in-nature to anything commies. China did provide best opportunities in priority to HK, but it's the HK who turn their back and stab them. SAD

They are (some) notorious even in their home country.

Folks, I'm not fan of commies, but realistically, China has its concern with its humongous population base,

it has to be strictly controlled /censored in every sense from the start, otherwise, it'll spread like a wild fires and that spell disaster or wars that many of you in the west / Japan wish to see. We are lucky that China do not export its revolution ideas, nor does China export refugees, poverty to the free world. Stop instigating or collaborating all these craps for peace sake.

close cousin would be more kindred

gone are those days of cheap goods from China, American consumers end up paying higher

prices on every items they enjoyed.

Finally someone sharing the same thought with me, no different with the communist regime except with a voting system that are also hapless.

Finally some conscientious Japanese woke up to this obsolete system. For some they knew that the Imperial system had been ruining their lives.

What a ignorant mule? good for him, he should be in Japan for a good long years.

DST is a medieval outdated rather foolish system, only santa claus still continued to practise this todate. sigh

Russia should not and will not return these islands, cos the moment they return, it'll become another US base with all missile defense system station at Russia backyard. Russia has its own security concern, moreover it's theirs to keep.

Obviously Marubeni declined to comment as they have dislodged their Canada's asset of 40% Grande Cache Coal bought for US$1bil at the peak of coal prices, and sold to Up Energy of HK for US$1.00 in 2015. Brilliant investment ??

a colleague of mine has a hole-in-one, he's happy and brought food/party for all the guests on that day, as for overseas friends, I received a golf ball with his name engraved.

The American is falling into the trap of the victim mentality. Obama is the loser.

LOL, under the DPP, Taiwan will move closer to Japan, once declare independence, under current Abe newly self-proclaimed "Collective Self Defense" will enable Abe san to send its troop to protect its allies, and Taiwan will be annexed to become Taiwan-Ken, a vassal state of greater Japan. Under the guidance of Nippon Kaigi, Japan will repeat itself to its pre-1895 notion of annexing Taiwan. Ring a bell??

How about this; 1) Thank you Obama for visiting Hiroshima. 2) Thank you for USoA for ending the war 3) Thank you for USoA making us No. 2 (until 2010) 4) Thank you Obama for reminding Abe it's time to go to Nanjing

sometimes it's not your wish of a "grateful exit", but the employer or immediate supervisor will try to tarnish you. I have a case where the company withdrawn its project after 15 plus years, causing a big budget shortfall, however, they shift the blame to employee, ie by giving absolute bad, poor performance appraisal without its consent. The employer also shutting its door for any redress citing it's already discussed. Employer can play thuggery and resort to intimidating act too, it's by way to shut your mouth. by the way, it's one of the top 5 trading houses in Japan go by circle of red??
