@RaghavSeeks That's Japan's kiss-axx initiative but that didn't earn her a better tariff deal from Trump. 🤭

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 🇯🇵🇺🇸. 🌊🌍

明日から東京で世界島嶼国海洋会議が開催されます。
同会議は、島嶼国など約30か国や国際機関から総勢300名以上が参加する、海洋をテーマとした会議です。

本日は、主催者である笹川・日本財団名誉会長、共催者であるヘルゲセン・ユネスコ政府間海洋学委員会事務局長とトムソン国連海洋特使、共同議長のウィップス・パラオ大統領、出席者のハイネ・マーシャル諸島大統領、ホーコン・ノルウェー皇太子殿下、ブラウン・クック諸島首相、テオ・ツバル首相とお会いしました。

他の島嶼国と同様、私たち日本人の日々の暮らしも海洋に大きく依存しています。
そのため、気候変動や海洋問題への対応は、同じ課題に直面する国々との連携が欠かせません。

先月、私は、進化した「自由で開かれたインド太平洋（FOIP）」を発表しましたが、進化したFOIPの下でも、海洋における法の支配は重要なテーマの一つであり、日本は、長年にわたり海洋分野における国際協力を推進しています。

笹川・日本財団名誉会長は、島嶼国が直面する課題について国際社会が共に考えるための後押しをしたいとの思いで、本会議を企画されました。
笹川名誉会長をはじめ日本財団や関係者のご尽力に敬意を表します。

ウィップス・パラオ大統領をはじめ出席された首脳等の方々からは、地球規模課題の解決に向けた島嶼国に対する日本の取組への感謝の表明がありました。

明日の開会式には私も参加しますので、楽しみにしています。
今回の世界島嶼国海洋会議の成功を祈念するとともに、今後も日本と島嶼国の協力を一層深めていきます。

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.

From DeepSeek:
"💎 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. 🇪🇺🇨🇳

@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.
