Posted in: Japan slips into recession, becoming 4th-largest economy, behind U.S., China and Germany See in context

It took 200 years for the Aztecs to disappear and become Spanish. Its only been 70 years since WW2 and it isnt all that bad to become American anyways. India was 25% of global output when England discovered it and reduced that to 1%. But at least the Indians managed to recover.

Posted in: Japan trying to send message to Trump: Don't cut a deal with China See in context

In every multi racial society in history, whenever no one race has majority, then every race in that society will prefer an autocracy run by their race over a multi-racial democracy. America is under-going this transition now and the process is very racial with the smallest group being always picked upon, in this case the Asians. It doesnt matter Japanese or Chinese, the color of the skin will be picked upon for fear mongering politics.

Like a river or the sea or the ocean, it will not take long for it to be clogged with AI generated data. Then it becomes hazardous to use.

Posted in: Japanese suspects say life was harsh in Cambodia scam operation See in context

If you curb the ability to scam, these jobs will be gone and this situation will not arise. Japan should implement a. ensuring the telcos disallow international incoming calls that show local numbers. b. a special (say 111) number that all government and banks must use to send text to residents and c. ensuring banks share in the loss when funds are transferred out to scammers. Taiwan seems to have solved this problem

Posted in: U.S. ambassador to Japan again criticizes China in speech and social media post See in context

If you pivot to the low hanging fruit of China bashing, it just shows how good the relations are between Japan and the USA that there is nothing to add. He's got to say something for the position he is in. Hes got a nice cushy job but one boring as hell as Japan and USA are best buddies.

Posted in: Trump waives right to speedy trial as Georgia prosecutor seeks to try him with 18 others next month See in context

Jailing the Proud Boys, harassing Trump and super patroit Navarro for protesting plausible election irregularities and exercising free speech rights under democracy whilst every investigation into princeling Hunter goes nowhere. Where is the outrage from rules based countries. It was all condemnation when it comes to China and Russia but what kind of country jails their own citizens for trying to protect democracy.

EVs currently cost about 3 iPhone 14s. If the costs drop further, soon they will become disposable cars or upgradeable every year. Thats where the car industry is headed.

Posted in: Japan gasoline price hits record ¥185.60 per liter See in context

The easy solution tried and tested is to print more money and subsidise the gasoline so we can all enjoy. Your kids will pay back that loan. They wont mind because they dont know.

Japan should have saved everyone the trouble and used the water to irrigate the plentiful forest up in the north. Afterall, the water should be safe by now.

Always a good anti Chinese headline to keep readers interested. Such an obvious thing to report. Do you not think the Chinese will spy on these exercises? It goes without saying

Posted in: China health commission stops publishing daily COVID figures See in context

For all the crab the China haters are giving the CCCP for doing the same things the rest did like spinning a new tale on Covid lockdowns no longer being necessary (it wasnt necessary in the first place) or cease reporting Covid infection figures (which is a direct result of reclassifying Covid as no more than a flu), one must be amazed at the speed they can U turn. Rapidly increasing mass infection and re-infection is necessary for them to keep up with the rest of the world in attaining natural immunity. So the speed they are catching up with us all in mass infection cannot be condemned but actually instructive. Give them another few months of mass deaths and massive infections and then they are no less susceptible to Covid as everyone else is who has opened up. Then with them on par, you will sense real competition in every thing from a very competitive culture. Thats when being more nasty to them will heat up.

Posted in: Tomahawks part of Japan's record defense spending next year See in context

The US defence industry is the commercial arm of the Senate where retired generals go to. Of course there will always be war and war mongering. Japan should apply to be the 51st state and get better value for its money

It would be alot cheaper just to become the 51st state. Cheaper and your representation in Congress for all the tax dollars spent.

The inevitable China-Japan war will make the atrocities in the last month of WW2 in Prussia look like a disney movie. So much hatred on both sides. But it is probably good for us non Japanese or Chinese. Good to keep them both weak.

Posted in: Japan to keep interest in Russia's Sakhalin 2 gas project See in context

I think Japan has no choice because of their claim that Sakhalin is Japanese teritory. Just like Chinese refusing to buy Siberian energy because the Chinese claim parts of Siberia belong to them. So Japan quitiing will be tantamount to admission that it is Russian territory and why would Chinese pay for stuff they claim belong to them

Unification Church should expand into China so the two sides can share then Taiwan and the Islands with the Moonies. Then there will definitely be less animosity.
