Actually the US has a long track record of inciting and initiating wars and conflicts around the world while China has a long track record of peaceful dispute resolution with its neighbors.

But Japan, which relies on the United States to provide nuclear deterrence, has declined, citing a lack of participation by nuclear weapons states.
No point in the ban I guess if states that have the nuclear weapons don't agree.

Can technology solve the global climate crisis?
Well what is the definition of climate crisis now? What are the bounds , the ends
Isn't the climate crisis supposed to end the world soon? Why isn't anyone mentioning it now?
Why is there no more urgency?
Did the climate emergency solved itself?

> Because China is a territory hungry monster that continues to encroach on territorial waters of sovereign countries and threaten to invade the independent nation of Taiwan. The only thing keeping China from trying to bully the region around is U.S. military presence

Of course China did use armed methods too

Posted in: Japan, U.S., others vow to triple global nuclear energy by 2050 See in context
Like the nuclear wastewater, let's pretend that it's safe by diluting it first with the ocean so we can hardly detect the presence of nuclear particles before dumping it of course in the same ocean. Oceans so big it will take quite a while before anything noticeable happens. And when it does let's cross that bridge then

Not that hard to manage nuclear waste now, how hard can it be to manage much more in the future.
And why concern ourselves with increased chances of nuclear disasters, let's cross that bridge when where at it

Of course they want to minimize reliance on oil at all costs.
Anyway, Japan found a place willing to be a dumping site for the nuclear waste yet?

Posted in: S Korean court orders Japan to compensate former 'comfort women' See in context
Actually the Korean government offered to indemnity Japan in the 1967 treaty but Japan refused, claiming that Japan did nothing wrong or illegal during its occupation of Korea. So the indemnification clause was left out due to the mistakes of Japanese negotiators and governments at that time and Japan is forever exposed to damages claims.
Well if SK didntt indemnify Japan then maybe victims have no choice but demand compensation from Japan directly .
Is there another option?

When IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi visited Japan and told that IAEA approved the way Fukushima water would be released to the ocean
Approved seems an inappropriate word.
Does the iaea have the authority to approve or stop the dumping?
Did the iaea even used the word?

Pity they can't dump wastewater from a ship it might have been better if tepco can use a large tanker to dilute the wastewater and dump it further into the sea

Of course Japan will try to just dismiss it as not applying to the situation as the dumping of nuclear waste is from a land structure instead of a sea vessel or structure
