The characters on the pieces are not Chinese. They are Japanese Kanji and hiragana. Calling Japanese Kanji Chinese is like calling English letters Latin or anything originated from.

This Moon is really a great guy. He does Moon-walking, pretends walking forward but in fact moving backward. That way he broke all the Japan-SK relations one by one and now Japan-SK relation has become the best ever for Japan. Let's stay that way.

Ohtani didn't say "his top priority is winning. " It was a wrong translation. He said "I like to win."

He always says that his top priority is finishing the season healthy.

It's not like companies order solo assignment. Japanese wives are strong and refuse to come to new assignment places. That's why.

Why is it OK to have relations with them, but not Myanmar?

It sure is very strange. Probably because Myanmar is a Buddhist independent country.

>and what are "points"? does that mean percentage? or what?

"points" and "percentage" are different things. If you say two point increase, it means two points of percentage increase, which is different from two percentage increase.

The Constitution stipulates Emperor earlier than separation of religion and state, which means the Constitution puts more importance on Emperor than the separation of religion and state. Thus, the ceremony is not unconstitutional.

 the regular Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act says that possessing marijuana can get you up to seven years behind bars, and one to ten years if the offender is planning to profit off it.

No, it doesn't.  Marijuana is controlled by The Cannabis Control Act, not The Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.

It can also be said the US lost the chance for a united democratic Korea due to MacArthur's insubordination which led to his termination.

It was the opposite.  MacArthur wanted a united Korea but US government didn't agree. It was US led UN army.  China was a permanent member of UN and had a veto to US led UN army.  It was a staged war. MacArthir realized it after the war.

Posted in: Japan to introduce online system for reporting coronavirus See in context

Japan has done very little testing for the virus. The low number of deaths directly attributed to the virus are low due to the low amount of testing. It's all a big smoke screen for both the international and domestic media.

It seems many Asian countries have low number of deaths.   USA and Italy are deliberatly increasing the number of deaths.
