@japan_nobunaga This is the consequence of betraying the Japanese-British Alliance and cooperating with the Soviets and Democrats.

Scientists have detected traces of nuclear activity in the West Philippine Sea. They found higher levels of a radioactive substance called iodine-129 in seawater samples from this area.
After testing 119 samples from different parts of Philippine waters, they discovered that iodine-129 levels in the West Philippine Sea were 1.5 to 1.7 times higher than in nearby regions. This isotope is almost always produced by human nuclear activities (like nuclear reactors or old weapons tests), so it acts as a clear sign of nuclear-related processes.
Most likely, ocean currents carried it from the Yellow Sea area near China. There, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and leftover contamination from Cold War-era nuclear tests probably released it into rivers and the ocean, and it traveled hundreds of miles to reach Philippine waters.
Good news: the levels are very low and pose no danger to people, fish, or the environment.
This discovery shows how connected our oceans are and why countries need to work together to monitor and protect them. It's also a great example of important scientific work being done right here in the Philippines.

What’s sad is that Sony has just built its last TV screen as a fully Japanese company.
After decades of defining what a premium TV could be, the Bravia name is about to belong to China.
This week Sony unveiled the Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II - two stunning high-end sets built around its new True RGB display tech.
They will almost certainly be the final products that Sony designs, builds, and services, entirely on its own.
From now on, control of the whole Bravia TV and home audio business shifts to China's TCL.
TCL paid roughly $470 million for a 51% majority stake, leaving Sony with just 49% and the right to keep its name on the box.
The new operation will even be called "Bravia Inc."
For a brand that once treated televisions as a statement of Japanese engineering pride, this is the quiet end of an era.
The logo will live on but the ownership behind it is changing hands.
Sony Bravia = Chinese owned
Buyer beware. TCL + Hisense captures snapshots of your TV screen (and hoovers up other data) and sends it to China
