ethiopian default
China's One Belt, One Road initiative is set to go even further down the road after Africa's Ethiopia defaulted on the ２nd, unable to pay interest on its debt due in December. The countries circled on the map in the image are the countries where China is primarily investing. Ethiopia, which defaulted this time, is marked in red. One Belt, One Road is a route south to Italy in Europe, but Italy has announced its withdrawal from One Belt, One Road. This is the departure of the western base. Where is Kitaji's base? It is now Kiiv, the capital of Ukraine, which is currently at war.
One Belt, One Road debt trap
Yellow countries are those with excessive debt to China. Includes Sudan and Somalia. These are the countries along the Suez Sea, including Ethiopia, which follow the Suez Canal, and China was trying to gain control of the sea route to the Mediterranean Sea. The rationale is simple: once the One Belt, One Road project starts, we can make a lot of money, so why not borrow money and prepare?
Read it together
The acquisition of African countries by the world's underground financial institution AIIB is China's national strategy.
AIIB is the world's black finance. Lending money to developing countries to realize OBOR. They provide funds that cannot be repaid, and when they are unable to repay, they seize the country's ports and other facilities. If OBOR is realized, the countries in the area will become rich. That's why it's better to borrow more and more money.
With this financing, China bought up votes in the United Nations, including African countries.
Originally, the African continent was divided into two colonies, British and French, and the British Commonwealth and French Community held the vote in the United Nations, but what is the situation like now? OBOR is China's national takeover strategy.
Communism views capitalists and managers as enemies. Workers become subordinate to capital, and capitalists who acquire large amounts of capital become figures that shake up the nation. Therefore, Chinese companies are controlled by the state as state-owned or semi-state-owned.
In modern China, the state is the capitalist. They invest in domestic and international development in the name of investing in the region and the nation.
If you look at the fact that they are subjugating developing countries to capital, they are essentially no different from the capitalists they see as their enemies.
In fact, it's even worse.
road to south africa
South Africa has the highest GDP among African economies, and it can be seen that the countries on the land route to South Africa are also trying to keep it in check. Countries other than the ones circled account for ３６.９% of China's investments in Africa, so it is spreading money to almost all countries. The purpose is to buy votes from the United Nations. African countries account for approximately ２８.５% of the votes in the United Nations. This is what is behind China and the West, dismissing it as a minority opinion.
Related to the Taiwan Strait
This is actually related to the Taiwan Strait issue. Mainly African countries support China's "one China principle." Africa does not want to get into trouble with its creditor country, China, over a faraway island with which they do not have any exchanges.
If the countries along the Suez Sea default, the Belt and Road initiative will end for Africa.

China puts aside domestic environmental issues and bans imports from Fukushima.
I was wondering why the average life expectancy of the Chinese people is so short.China is the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine and is a country that practices the same principle of medicine and food, but why is there a difference of nearly 7 to 8 years with Japan? There used to be a difference of about 10 years. I thought it was because Chinese cuisine basically uses a lot of oil, but that alone doesn't explain it.
There was a story that when an air dosimeter was used to measure air dosimetry in an apartment in Shanghai, it was 976 times as high as in Tokyo.However, since radioactivity from land comes from mineral resources, it is important to note that radioactivity from land is emitted from mineral resources, so it is important to note that radioactivity from land is emitted from mineral resources. The higher the radiation dose, the higher the radiation dose. Plutonium is extracted from uranium ore, and there are many other ores that contain high amounts of radioactive materials in nature.
It has long been known that rare metals made in China are traded internationally at low prices because China does not provide the various health considerations and guarantees that each country naturally takes into account. This is natural since this is a country where there is no sense of human rights. Radioactive materials are generated from rare metals during the mining process. As a result of not paying attention to the miners, radioactive materials flow into the river.
The fine aggregate, or fine sand, used in things like concrete is finely ground by river currents. Nuclear power plants in inland China use river water for cooling water, but it is said that nuclear power plant accidents occur frequently, and since it is a country like that, even if an accident occurs, it is naturally covered up.
As a result, we do not know what is contained in the building materials of condominiums. It is understandable that radioactivity levels were detected in Shanghai crabs taken downstream of the river.
Japan should always talk from a scientific perspective, and if the Chinese had a scientific perspective, would they realize that their country is already in a dire situation? If you still don't notice 30 years from now...
His Majesty the Emperor's visit to China was greeted with a warm welcome - his visit to South Korea has not yet materialized.
Former General Secretary Deng Xiaoping, who came to Japan in 1978, became the first leader of the People's Republic of China to meet with the Emperor.Since then, the Emperor's visit to China has been the long-cherished wish of the Communist Party of China.After the death of Emperor Showa, the Tiananmen Incident occurred from Perestroika to the end of the Cold War.It was the Emperor's visit to China in 1992 amid China's worldwide isolation and international criticism.Foreign Minister Michio Watanabe, who accompanied him, asked Shanghai Vice Mayor Zhao Qizheng, "If many people go out on the street, will there be people throwing eggs at them?" Zhao replied, "That's not going to happen."On the contrary, there were many lines along the road, and the Emperor waved to each and every one of them and the train marched.

Even if there is diplomatic relations between countries, if you think about what true diplomatic relations are for Japan, which has the Emperor, your visit can be one of the criteria for friendly relations.
His Majesty's visit to South Korea has not been realized.It goes without saying why.A fierce war with China resulted in many deaths on both sides.There are still many concerns, but at least the two countries have a long history.It is undeniable that both sides have overcome the problem and are moving forward little by little.
Is Japan-South Korea relations an extension of history?The friendly relationship between Korea and Japan, based on the fiction of a false history, collapsed with the advent of Moon Jae In.If anti-Japanese sentiment has declined due to his absence, what time should we return?
China's feelings toward Japan seem to be moving forward and backward, but it is clear that the two countries are completely different compared to China and Korea.
China wants to improve relations with the EU at the summit between the EU and China - neutral position to benefit from both sides.
A summit meeting between China and the EU was held on the 1st.At a press conference after the summit, Mr. Fondairaien stressed, "In this war, Europeans will not accept any support for Russia."Xi said, "The international community should prepare the conditions and conditions for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine rather than fuel the fire and intensify the conflict."The meeting revealed that China is using the Ukraine issue to improve its relations with the EU.Some Japanese media say that China should use its position to find a way to solve the Ukraine problem, but it is better not to do so.In a big sense, it is hard to understand why liberal countries have been fighting against China's hegemonism or are trying to cope with the current invasion of Ukraine.
After a ceasefire agreement is reached with Russia, China will provide economic support to Russia at any time, and if it deals with and approaches liberal countries on this issue, it will benefit from it, and if it becomes a leader in the ceasefire, China's international standing will rise.The war should end as soon as possible, but a strange world begins to turn again.The Wigur, the Nansha Islands, Taiwan and Ukraine issues are force-driven changes and should be viewed in the same way as human rights violations.Given the significance of the issues that need to be addressed, it is highly contradictory to expect China, which is the party to the infringement of another issue, just because of the current war in Ukraine.
In the first place, doubts arose about the existence of the United Nations as permanent members of the Security Council, Russia and China.During the Cold War, East and West countries functioned as places for dialogue, but now we are not in a Cold War state, and international organizations are calling for human rights in the world, with non-liberal countries as permanent members of the Security Council.We cannot help but think that Russia and China are not fit to be permanent members of the United Nations, including the Ukraine issue, the Uighur issue, and the Taiwan issue.The world needs an international organization that is without their influence.
The Taiwanese emergency is a Senkaku emergency - Chinese military lieutenant general who did not deny the argument shifts responsibility by saying that it is up to Taiwan.
By the 9th, He Lei, former vice president (lieutenant general) of the Academy of Military Sciences, a Chinese military think tank, gave an exclusive interview to Kyodo News and clarified that he ``doesn't want war, but I'm not afraid of it'' regarding the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. Personally, I am concerned about this statement by the lieutenant general.When I asked him about the possibility of unifying Taiwan and seizing the Senkakus at the same time based on China's claim that the Senkakus are part of the "Taiwan Province," he replied, "It is not logical. If you do that, then yes,” he said without denying it.
Taiwan was the first to claim sovereignty over Uotsuri Island. Since Taiwan was in June 1971 and China was in September of the same year, it appears that China hastily raised its hand to the international community three months later. During this period, a dispute over the representative government was being held at the United Nations, and the United Nations Resolution on Albania was adopted in October 1971, which established the People's Republic of China as the representative government of China. In response to this, Japan established diplomatic relations with China in 1972, but it is said that there was an agreement to shelve the issue of the Senkaku Islands so that it would not become an issue by not making it an issue.
The graph shown shows the number of territorial sea violations by China, and it can be seen that there were almost no cases up until 2012. It began with the nationalization of the Senkaku Islands by the Noda administration in September 2012. In other words, China's reasoning is that Japan has made an issue that had been shelved. They argue that for this reason, China will also openly make territorial claims. Before that, it is Japanese territory in the first place.
The circumstances surrounding this nationalization by the Noda administration were so pathetic that they released the captain of a Chinese fishing boat that rammed the Japan Coast Guard for unknown reasons, and were unable to withstand public criticism. At the time, Governor Tanigaki argued that if he was going to be released, he should have just deported him on the spot instead of arresting him in the first place.
A statement by a lieutenant general from a Chinese military think tank places the Senkakus as Taiwan's responsibility. If the one country, two systems principle is followed, Senkaku will become Taiwan. Xi Jinping has repeatedly stated that Taiwan's independence is a trigger for an invasion of Taiwan.
The Taiwan emergency included the Senkaku issue within the Japan emergency, and there were many questions about how the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty would be activated if China publicly stated that it would maintain navigation through the Taiwan Strait and there was no attack on the Senkaku Islands. This time, China has publicly stated that the Senkaku Islands are part of it. In other words, the only objective is the small island of Senkaku, which is part of Taiwanese territory, and the question is whether the United States will participate in the war just for this island.
Now that China has made it clear that it will extend its reach to the Senkaku Islands in the event of a Taiwanese emergency, how will the Japanese government respond? Would you go and rent even 10 pandas? My thinking is almost the same as that student who yelled at the SEALDs meeting that I would drink alcohol and become better friends with him.
China's reaction to Taiwan's presidential election remains unchanged - authoritarian country claims it does not reflect the will of the people.
Looking at the tone of Chinese commentary, there are some that simply report the facts about the results of the Taiwanese election, and some that express dissatisfaction with Japan's congratulations to the winner of the Taiwanese presidential election, but overall they are not widely covered. The reason I don't think he is there is probably because Xi Jinping's state of mind is immeasurable. Xinhua News Agency introduced statements by Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, which is in charge of Taiwan policy in China.
“The results of these two elections in Taiwan show that the Democratic Progressive Party does not represent mainstream public opinion in Taiwan.Taiwan is China's Taiwan.This election reflects the basic pattern of cross-strait relations. The direction of development cannot be changed, the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cannot change the common desire to become closer and closer, and the general tendency for the motherland to ultimately maintain relations between the two countries You can't stop it. It will be unified, and it will inevitably be unified."
"Our position on resolving the Taiwan issue and achieving national reunification is consistent and our will is unwavering. We will firmly uphold the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the principle of one China. , resolutely opposes secessionist actions for "Taiwan independence" and interference by outside forces, and cooperates with relevant Taiwanese political parties, organizations, and people from all walks of life to promote mutual exchange. - Deepen cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-Strait integrated development, jointly promote Chinese culture, promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, and promote the great cause of national reunification. ”
This is the same spokesperson who said last year that ``Taiwan independence would mean war.'' Judging from this statement, the contents of this time are just long-winded, there is no change, and there is nothing new. Both one tone and two tone look lowered. Even if you claim that you do not represent mainstream public opinion, isn't your country a dictatorship with no regard for public opinion or the will of the people? President Xi Jinping was probably not chosen by the will of the people. China seems unable to hide its turmoil.
