The fish are breathing a sigh of relief.

Yes, would be nice if these press releases included the amount of sugar and fat in one serving. Or is there a reason they don't want to publicize it?

China will never overtake Japan in the automotive business, even in EVs

Even in EVs? Japan has done sweet FA in the area of EVs.

Take the US out of the G7, and you're left with 6 insignificant midgets.

Whether the leaders put their own citizens and countries first or another far-off country first.

The Chinese are laughing at the hypocrisy of the UK (which is the CCTV capital of the world)

Gambare:

Nope.

Unless Italy has suddenly legalised same sex marriage, Japan is not the "odd one out".

Italy has civil unions. The closest thing to SSM

From the internet:

Italy has recognised civil unions since 5 June 2016, providing same-sex couples with most of the legal protections, benefits and rights of marriage.

I'm surprised Japan doesn't want to be like its G7 partners. I think it's the odd one out.

Sometimes you have to wonder who the president is.

The mainstream media telling you not to vote for AFD but for the old establishment alternative where you'll get the same old neo-liberal rubbish which got Europe into this mess and will continue with wars and genocide. There's a real alternative: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht - a REAL left-wing party which is opposed to wars and all the current madness you see within the EU. But the media and the establishment are trying to suppress parties like this and the Workers' Party in the UK and the Green Party in USA because peace brings no financial profits.

This incident now giving Australia every right to sail into the Taiwan strait and conduct live fire exercises with short notice.

And China can sail right off the American coasts of Australia too then, but don't get your knickers in a twist if they do.

What do you expect when the yen is so weak?

Forcing your vassal states on the other side of the world to buy much more expensive gas when cheaper sources are available. What could possibly go wrong?

ossanamerika:

If because of tariffs, a product made in China now costs the same or more than an equivalent product made in the U.S., why would anyone choose the Chinese product? 

Er, maybe because, even with tariffs, they still end up being cheaper than US products. Just look at how much was thrown to develop AI in US.

Or, as a local example, with a +700% tariff slapped on imported rice, they end up being the same price aslocal Japanese rice.

Basically, US is done. They shipped off manufacturing (no, the Chinese didn't put a gun to US manufacturers' heads and demand that they set up shop in China.) The US' own doing.

Good, fewer spies and troublemakers.

Well, you know what they say. Every US embassy is a mini-CIA headquarter and the home of NED color revolution plotters. Has anyone seen that humungous embassy in London? Like a fortress surrounded by a moat.

Just preparing themselves to do business with the Al-Qaeda rulers of Syria, I suppose.

You've got to be kidding. At the workplace? Loud typing and slamming drawers?

How about the hot rodders on the streets at night time? Noisy neighbors singing and shouting in the early hours of the morning? The constant music and shouting inside supermarkets? The loudspeakers from the politicians during election time?

Von der Leyen - one of the worst ever German defence ministers,and involved in corruption. Soldiers practicing with brooms instead of real weapons. This woman makes up ridiculous statements like Russians resorting to use washing machine chips, and expects Europeans to give their money to Ukraine (or should I say the elites and oligarchs) while they themselves have to pay a fortune for fuel and watch their economies go up in flames.

10,000 yen for sushi?

Businesses will charge whatever gullible customers are willing to pay.

wallace:

10 kg of USA-imported rice is ¥5,700.

That's after the 700% tariff is imposed?

What these mainstream media articles never tell you is that the emissions from China are high because they manufacture your buckets and bolts. Per capita, it is still lower than America, even with American manufacturing at a pitiful state. The percentage of energy from renewable sources in China is increasing at a fast rate.

From western AI sources:

Yes, the number of new coal power plants being built in China is significantly decreasing, with recent reports showing a sharp decline in coal power plant approvals and a trend towards increased investment in renewable energy sources like solar and wind, indicating a potential turning point in China's reliance on coal power.

It will ruin America. So, yes.

Gambare:

Sure.

Because the Chinese Communist Party is just so transparent and believable with their figures.

How are all those abandoned, unoccupied Chinese ghost cities going?

Yeah, and all those western and Muslim tourist youtubers in China are making up everything, including the infrastructure, landscape and food. They're probably forcing the poor oppressed Chinese to smile for the cameras too.

Eyes rolling.

When you can't win an argument, make up lies.

If the west doesn't want these immigrants, then they should stop being complicit or even causing the wars in their countries. Cheering on Al-Qaida gaining control of Syria and not expecting more Syrian refugees? Gimme a break. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and the rest of Africa, destroyed by wars created by or egged on by the west. What do you expect?

Yep, the ban ends just in time for the run-up to Roland Garros.

Canada doing its best to pretend it isn't a lapdog of the USA in front of the world.

Those who are hoping Russia returns to G8 are delusional. BRICS is the future and Russia knows it. It will never trust Europe or the Anglo-Saxons ever again.

A reminder that under the defense strategy, Japan aims to eventually double its annual military spending to around 10 trillion yen ($63 billion), making it the world’s No. 3 military spender after the United States and China.

That's all very well, but can Japan afford it?

Government can't tax those gambing sites.

Funny how South Korea is so popular now that it has a dictator.
