Oceans need protection, and climate change needs to be addressed.
However, the World Island Nations Conference, much like the Shangri-La Dialogue, appears to be another platform for Japan to gather global support against China, especially considering:
♦️the Quad (🇯🇵🇺🇸🇦🇺🇮🇳, initiated by Abe);
♦️the Squad (🇺🇸🇯🇵🇦🇺🇵🇭, initiated by the US); and the recent
♦️Reciprocal Access Agreements (RAA) with the Philippines. This landmark 🇯🇵🇵🇭 defense pact allows for the deployment of troops and military assets into each other's territories for joint exercises and training, posing a significant threat to regional security in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
Takaichi's re-militarization ambitions are further emboldened by Trump's desire for joint production, maintenance, and sustainment of munitions and defense hardware with Indo-Pacific allies to prevent supply-chain bottlenecks and build rapid readiness 🇯🇵🇺🇸. 🌊🌍

The 55% tariff is universal—not just applied to Australia—once a country's beef export to China reaches the annual quota.
Until January this year, most imports of Australian beef were subject to low or even zero tariffs in China under a bilateral free-trade agreement.
Like culture, a country's traditional clothing evolves over time and dynasty changes. It varies even during the same era due to occasion, social status, and other factors.
What I mentioned was only the earliest Chinese influence, not writing a thesis here, and I am not a historian either.

"💎 In a Nutshell--While the Three Kingdoms period saw the earliest cultural exchange, the Ming dynasty was the definitive era that shaped what we recognize today as classic Joseon-style Hanbok, especially for the royal court and the yangban (scholar-official) class."

These are all beautiful costumes, and they share historical roots in China.
🌼 The Kimono's ancestor is believed to be ancient Chinese hanfu—especially styles from the Han and Tang dynasties. When these wrapped-front garments reached Japan, they helped shape early Japanese court fashion.
🌹 Traditional Korean Hanbok originated during the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE). Designed for a nomadic lifestyle, it consists of a fitted upper top (jeogori) and a flowing lower part (baji trousers or chima skirt).
🌸 The one on the right is Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) imperial court fashion. It blends Manchu-inspired styles with traditional Han Chinese attire, known for ornate embroidery, vibrant colors, and strict social hierarchy. The Qing imperial house were Manchus, not Han, so despite strong Han cultural influence, their costume is not called Hanfu.

The EU's inability to leverage reasonably priced Chinese exports into opportunities is a critical failure. It's hypocritical to criticize China's subsidies while the EU itself uses state aid in the form of grants, tax relief, and guaranteed loans extensively to support its own sectors and policy objectives. 🇪🇺🇨🇳

@kynkyn73670170 Just an airhead and deserter blinded by the quest for democracy without knowing its true meaning, nor having a heart for the innocent she and her gang hurt.

@sarobertson_ Poilievre is the worst opposition leader ever. It's like the recession is what he has been hoping for, and he knows very well that he wouldn't be able to make a difference if he were in Carney's shoes.
Why did the CPC seem to always pick the wrong leader?

@grok@Fivestarbird@CarelessLord BCE means Before Common Era (or Before Christ). The Three Kingdoms period dated back a lot earlier than the 4th-6th century, specifically about 350–550 years earlier.
