Xi Jinping's third term begins
With the end of the Communist Party Congress and the start of Xi Jinping's third term, various reports have been made. Taken as a whole, it seems that the direction of revision of the reform and opening-up policy since Deng Xiaoping has been indicated. The results of Xi Jinping's economic policies are unclear in every sense, but it is clear that China's economy has grown due to the reform and opening-up path initiated by Deng Xiaoping, the partial introduction of market economic theory, and U.S.-China relations. Although Xi Jinping does not explicitly criticize these, what he is doing appears to be aiming for a return to the old style of Chinese socialism.
Will the reform and opening-up policy continue to be revised?
Although this is a country where individuals cannot own real estate, laws that allow individuals to buy and sell rented real estate are restricting growing real estate companies and forcing them into bankruptcy, and reining in the heads of growing companies like Alibaba. Does Xi Jinping think that these economic elements are a threat to China's socialist forces that were born on the path of reform and opening up? I have to say that his sense of being a threat is correct. This is because a liberal economy will destroy the socialist system.
Free industrial investment is essential for industrial growth
In order for the economy to continue to grow, we must ensure as much freedom as possible. There are limits to simply investing in certain industries that the country has chosen as part of its national policy. A process in which these industrial investments are opened up to the private sector, private banks are free to make industrial investments, and private companies are free to commercialize services that have never existed before is an essential condition.
What is necessary to continue economic growth
Various freedoms are essential for this, including freedom of speech, freedom of thought and belief, and academic freedom. This creates new social norms and new ways of living, which in turn leads to the creation of new products and services. Plants have a chance to flourish when they grow freely as intended.
No change in ambition to annex Taiwan
Critics say that Xi Jinping has chosen stability over growth. What is worrisome, however, is that there has been no change to the ambition to unify Taiwan. Such restorationists are likely to advocate nationalism and wage wars of aggression. You can imagine this by looking at the current President Putin.

China's biggest weakness is its vast territory - We are dispersed - What is the biggest advantage of QUAD?
Advantages of the Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty
China continues to acquire underdeveloped countries
Japan at its limit along the first island chain
Make the most of the country's large land area
The biggest weakness is that the country is large
Threat to China is a deterrent
The Japan-Soviet non-aggression pact during World War II had benefits for both sides. The Soviet Union's weakness was its vast territory. If the Japanese army invaded from the east while fighting the Nazis in the west, the Soviet army would have no choice but to disperse and would have no choice. After the Nazis surrendered on May 7, the Soviet Union entered the war against Japan.
The image above shows China's archipelago strategy and its maritime route to Pakistan, known as the String of Pearls. Currently, the Spratly Islands are under control, Sri Lanka's Hampantota port has been leased to China for 99 years, and, strangely enough, a coup d'etat occurred in Myanmar and China has secured access to the Bay of Bengal by land. The Solomon Islands government has been taken over and has signed a security agreement with China, refusing to accept foreign naval vessels. It's just a stone's throw from Australia.
Japan is currently debating the defense of its first island chain. As long as Japan and Taiwan are protected, that's fine. That may be the correct answer in terms of national defense, but if China considers it difficult to capture the first island chain, it will simply put it off until later and steadily advance its maritime strategy to the west. The Chinese Communist Party gains power each time it acquires concessions, and it is unable to stop the relative increase in threats to Japan's national defense.
In other words, China is making the most of its vast territory and expanding its reach into surrounding areas. Will the countries threatened by China defend themselves with their own strength? In other words, the enemy is a mass of 14 billion people, and we are unaware that they are scattered.
The important point about QUAD, which was proposed by former Prime Minister Abe, is that it draws India in. If China and India clash in Kashmir, communist forces will disperse to the west. Military power is nothing more than a total number, and some people compare numbers and say things like that, but in this case it is meaningless. Could troops in Sichuan province participate in the invasion of Taiwan? China's biggest weakness is its vast territory.
China's maritime expansion is intended to be a game changer for the world. Simply defending the first island chain in order to counter this would be a completely different level of thinking. The theory of dividing China will only be effective on a scale that confronts China's global expansion. For China, the absolute threat of ``If you don't act, I'll surround you and tear you apart'' is itself a deterrent.
What China wants to get is more than necessary.Taiwan called them as
Chinese culture is one where extravagance is a virtue. It is hospitality to provide more food than you can eat, and leaving some leftover food means that you are full, and conversely, eating all of it means that you didn't have enough food, which is a cultural difference. I'm surprised.
When Japan withdrew from the war and the Republic of China (KMT) came to Taiwan, it was expressed as ``the dogs left and the pigs came.'' The meaning is that dogs (in Japan) are noisy but protect the house. It means that the pig (KMT) will only eat up. It is said that Taiwanese received Japanese education during the Japanese colonial period, and were taught the concepts of moderation, restraint, and patience. This brought order to Taiwanese society and reduced crime. For Taiwanese people, the rule by the Chinese Nationalist Party must have seemed too contrasting.
When I was a student, I worked part-time at a karaoke pub in Shibuya, and Mr. Li, a Chinese man working in the kitchen, was often scolded by the manager for eating food from the kitchen. The rule for the food provided by the store was that you could eat as much white rice as you wanted, but Mr. Lee was eating a pile of white rice on a platter similar to curry rice.
He ended up secretly eating an apple in the bathroom, which got him fired. The reason for this was that apple cores clogged the toilet and caused a flood. At that time, China was still poor, and my Japanese part-time friend said that it was a pity to be fired because China was poor, but I thought that no matter how poor someone was, if they were full, they wouldn't eat any more.
The Chinese believe that there is no problem because pigs eat leftover food left over by humans, and humans then eat the pigs. In China, it is considered polite to leave much of a meal uneaten, which is why there is no sense of guilt. When China began economic growth, the problem of garbage became a problem. I remember that a large amount of leftover food became impossible to dispose of, and a female newscaster on a Chinese news program shouted, ``Even pigs can't eat any more garbage!'' I wonder if she is also making a mistake with this caster. Leftover food from restaurants in the city is not sent to pig farms.
What I'm trying to say is that in Chinese culture, you need more than you need to be satisfied. Satisfaction can only be achieved when you have all of them. This means that even in times of poverty, the idea of moderation and moderation did not develop as a culture. When I think about it, I get a chill down my spine as I wonder how much of what China currently wants to obtain.
What current China wants to gain from its expansion policy. It's not what you need, it's more than you need.
Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, Japan that protected the Last Emperor, and China that followed the West.
China's history is 72 years
Xinhai Revolution was carried out with support from Japan
The Last Emperor who sent donations for the Great Kanto Earthquake
Japan protected the exiled Puyi
Did China follow Sun Yat-sen's will
It is said that China has a history of 4,000 years, but that would be wrong. The People's Republic of China was established in 1949, so it is now 72 years old. At least since the founding of the Republic of China, it has been China, and Xi Jinping said at the 110th anniversary commemoration of the Xinhai Revolution that it is the People's Republic of China that will inherit Sun Yat-sen's will, but it is still 110 years old.
It is correct to say that human history has existed in what is now China for 4,000 years. Mainland China is an area where different ethnic groups founded various countries and then disappeared.
Sun Yat-sen was a person who learned about Japanese society and the Meiji Restoration when he defected to Japan, and succeeded in the Xinhai Revolution. They were supported by Japan's Takeshi Inukai and Toten Miyazaki. Sun Yat-sen said, ``Japan's Restoration was the cause of the Chinese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution was the result of Japan's Restoration,'' and ``The two were originally connected to achieve the restoration of East Asia.''
In that case, wouldn't it be Sun Yat-sen and his supporters from Japan that created the current China?
It was Japan that supported the Xinhai Revolution, and Sun Yat-sen also inherited Japan's hopes for the restoration of East Asia.
Aixinjue Luo Puyi was the last emperor of China, the Xuantong Emperor, and is the so-called Last Emperor. After the Xinhai Revolution, Puyi made living in the Forbidden City a condition of his abdication. When Japan was struck by the Great Kanto Earthquake, Puyi announced that he would send donations to Japan, including a large amount of jewelry from within the Forbidden City.
Afterwards, the Beijing Coup occurred and Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, but Japan protected him. He approached Kenkichi Yoshizawa for protection through donations. Puyi was then protected by the Japanese concession of Tianjin.
After Japan's Kwantung Army conquered the Manchuria region, Puyi became the first emperor of Manchukuo. Although Manchukuo existed as a puppet government of Japan, Puyi lived as emperor again until the Soviet Union entered the war.
When thinking about who inherited Sun Yat-sen's will, it is not the People's Republic of China, assuming Sun Yat-sen's words, ``The two are originally connected as one and will achieve the restoration of East Asia.'' That's clear. The Chinese Communist Party is an anti-Japanese force, and current China is an anti-Japanese nation.
And even though China is in Asia, has it not sided with the West in its efforts to colonize Asia?
China sided with the West in World War II. The Potsdam Declaration was jointly signed by the United States, Britain, and China.
Korea has the largest ODA per population.China Appreciates Japan's Economic Aid
According to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ODA to China totaled about 3.9 trillion yen from 1979 to 2016.More than 60% of China's foreign aid is from Japan.Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, Lanzhou, Wuhan, and Xi'an airports were also built with Japanese aid.In addition, 5,200 kilometers of railways, Beijing sewage treatment plants, Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, Beijing Subway, Chongqing Railway, and major ports have been built and expanded.
Since the 2000s, JICA has been training more than 15,000 managers and HIDA has been training more than 22,000.Former General Secretary Deng Xiaoping and former General Secretary Hu Jintao officially thanked each other.Recently, Deputy Spokesman Hua Chunying thanked Japan, saying, "Japan's ODA has contributed greatly to China's reform and opening-up and economic development," adding, "We will discuss new cooperative relations with Japan."
Although there are territorial issues in Sino-Japanese relations, the Chinese government officially acknowledges that Japan has contributed greatly to China's development.
The amount of ODA to South Korea is 650.2 billion yen, but the total value of $500 million, including free financial cooperation and private cooperation, is said to be 2-3 trillion yen.Compared to China, South Korea has the most aid in terms of ODA costs per population.
Japan apologized to South Korea several times during the annexation of South Korea and Japan, but South Korea did not remember.I don't think Japan remembers being thanked by South Korea, but this is more true.On the contrary, after the end of ODA program for South Korea in 1990, the problem of recruiting workers and Japanese Military comfort woman grew.Is it just my imagination that they seem to have started after end of ODA.
Since the end of ODA to South Korea, the anti-Japanese movement in South Korea has become popular.Is this a coincidence?
The Last Emperor who appeared at the Tokyo Trials The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the first emperor of Manchukuo looked at the times.
The Last Emperor appeared at the Tokyo Trial
The Xinhai Revolution was a Chinese revolution supported by Japan
A revolution that had no choice but to join forces with the old dynasty forces
Russia's hand extended to the continent and peninsula
The idea of harmony between the five tribes of Manchukuo
The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Aixinjueluo Puyi. He was also called the Last Emperor and appeared at the Tokyo Trials. There, in front of GHQ, he praised Sun Yat-sen's Xinhai Revolution as an innovative move for China, and said that the Qing bureaucracies at the time were deeply corrupt.
The Xinhai Revolution was a Sino-Japanese joint revolution that was supported by important Japanese figures to modernize China under the rule of the former dynasty. Sun Yat-sen is Sun Yat-sen. Nakayama is a Japanese name, and it was the name of his time in exile in Japan. Puyi understood this very well.
Manchuria was a territory of the Qing Dynasty that Russia came to take over. The Qing Dynasty was a Chinese dynasty founded by the Manchu people, that is, by Puyi's ancestors.
The Xinhai Revolution had to rely on Yuan Shikai's help to suppress the Beiyang warlords, and it cannot be denied that it was a half-hearted revolution, so Puyi's conditions of residence in the Forbidden City were revoked and he was exiled.
The conflict between Russia's interests in Manchuria and the conflict on the Korean Peninsula progressed simultaneously. Russia thought it would be a good idea to colonize China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan in the same way as Northeast Asian nations.
The Russo-Japanese War not only stopped the Russian colonization of the Korean Peninsula, but also eliminated Russian interests from Manchuria and led to the establishment of Manchukuo. Puyi then became the first emperor of Manchukuo.
Puyi, a Manchurian, was expelled from the Forbidden City and ascended the throne again in his homeland. Many workers came and went from the Korean peninsula to Manchuria, and many people from the Korean peninsula immigrated to cultivate the fertile land of Manchuria. Manchukuo's spirit of ``Five Tribes Harmony'' is an ideal that was built on the reality that these ethnic groups coexist: Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Han Chinese.
It is said that Japan was carrying out plunder and genocide on the Korean Peninsula. It's strange.
