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.

What do the People's Liberation Army think of U.S. aircraft carriers and landing attack ships?
Since the inauguration of the Biden administration, the U.S. has not only put pressure on China to restrict support for Chinese companies, but has also frequently dispatched military aircraft and warships to China to provoke them.
According to the Global Times, the U.S. has deployed the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, the landing attack ship Esax, and the U.S. landing attack ship U.S.aircraft carriers Lincoln and Reagan.The Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine Nevada also made an unusual appearance at a U.S. naval base in Guam.
It is unusual for the U.S. to deploy so much military force around China, giving the impression of dignity.Professor Wei Jung-woo of the Center for American Research at Fudan University said in an interview, "The U.S. is sending strategic nuclear submarines and aircraft carrier warships to the Indo-Pacific region to demonstrate its "power" and exercise military deterrence."
The U.S. is not the only military power in the world, but the U.S. is wrong in targeting China.Defense Ministry spokesman Oh Gyeom explained at a regular briefing on January 27 that the PLA's military training in 2022, emphasizing the need to strengthen military training and strengthen enemy suppression training and maintain full-time standby.We will accelerate the integration of training and practice so that we can fight at any time."
The behind-the-scenes stories of "the front line of military struggle" and "fight the enemy and train " are clear.The Global Times quoted an analyst as saying, "There have been experts so far."Despite the fact that the PLA took advantage of the opportunity to train against foreign troops, many netizens still regard it as "respectful."However, it has been confirmed that the Liberation Army is "using foreign troops to train."The U.S. did not expect such provocations around China to be the best training partner for the Liberation Army.This is to make up for the lack of combat experience.The U.S. is really shooting itself in the leg.
It seems that the U.S. military is a practical training partner for the People's Liberation Army's lack of practical experience.I don't understand what it means.
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.
falsification of China's GDP This was revealed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but only half of its GDP was exist.In the 56 years from 1929 to 1985, national income was 90 times (actually 6.5 times).The average growth rate was 8.3 percent, but actually 3.3 percent.Even U.S. Nobel laureate Paul Samuern believes in Soviet statistics and said the Soviet Union is growing.To that extent, the method of falsifying statistics was meticulous.
The People's Republic of China, founded in 1949, has carried out reforms, but it was the Soviet Embassy that served as the headquarters.Also after Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution and Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up, statistical methods continued.China is not capitalism.When foreign companies establish their own companies in China, they cannot take out the capital they have invested in because it is a joint venture.GDP tampering is effective in attracting foreign investment and does not need to be returned.
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.
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?
