Sad. Can you imagine the culture shock of coming to Japan from Afghanistan? I came from the UK and took me ages to even begin to settle in......

The rest are almost as bad, but Japan takes the cake for not even jawboning about controlling inflation. Yes, the others are lying, but at least they have the market fooled for now.

Here they are so reluctant because to even talk about hiking rates will crush the governments budget......

Posted in: Japan warns of intervention; BOJ conducts 'rate check' over yen's fall See in context

These people are just ridiculous. They are now going to buy yen to somehow prop it up. We just had a 9% CPI print in Japan and still they have stupidly easy monetary policy and rate curve controls.

Abenomics coming home to roost.

Posted in: U.S. considering China sanctions to deter action against Taiwan See in context

This type of "deterrent" action has a long history, going back to Japan pre-Pearl Harbour. Likely it will just provoke a more extreme action from China.

All communist regimes espouse puritanical principles to a greater or lesser extent. Although open question if being anti women selling themselves is puritanical or just wanting to show concern and respect for women.....

Yes prostitution is rife in China, as it is in most East Asian countries. Has been since forever.

Difference in China is that CCP wants to avoid a slide into celebrity and (as they see it) debauchery as lodestones for societal development.

Keeping the West guessing?

They have already made their position quite clear. They know that the Wwst can't afford to take any significant action against them.

Posted in: Seeking right tone, new British PM Truss had to quickly change gear for queen See in context

Poor the UK. Her Maj passed, a new (not very impressive so far) PM, ridiculous fiscal measures to "help with the cost of living" but which will actually make things worse, currency going down the tubes.

At least the cricket team and women's football team doing ok.

PT

Yes, a bit of trolling is enough to bring down democracy.

Way more than silencing and arresting one's political opponents, for example.

Thinking that these 2 thugs are getting more powerful is not the same as worshipping them. And accepting that some of the recent measures taken by the West have been pretty dumb is not the same as taking Purtin's side.

Posted in: China's Xi heads abroad to promote strategic role See in context

Its funny how some people think that being the head of the second strongest army in Ukraine makes you some kind of player at the international level.

Not only armies make you strong. control over energy? Manufacturing most of what Americans consume? Strategic minerals? Having the support of the governments who lead the majority of the world's population?

I don't like either of these thugs, but poor leadership and decision making in "the West" has made them much more powerful than they were just a year ago......

Succession is ok, although sometimes find the level of backstabbing a little hard to take.

All this hoohaa is so reminiscent of all the other confected outrage charges and allegations brought against Orange. Lots of heat and light but very little forward motion.
