Watching this from Singapore as a Singaporean -- the path she has taken and her work are deeply inspiring to me, and something I look up to as a peak emulation model!

It wasn’t even voluntary in the first place, unless it is, you cannot see it as duty that shouldn’t take into account monetary value and tradeoff.

[J Chang @realjchang]

It is a duty but also a liability, it is only right we use the word ‘compensation’. For it is the denying of welfare and freedom of individuals for 2 years + some more in reservist.

We do not want allies shackled by guilt and shame.

We want allies who are proud of their culture and heritage and are willing to help us defend it.

Oh how the tables have turned - Beijing must be fuming.

A stronger Japan🇯🇵? Most of Asia is straight-up welcoming it with open arms now.

China keeps weaponizing history screaming "Don't let Tokyo remilitarize!" like it's still 1945.

But nobody's buying it because of Beijing's own aggressive tantrums: coercive trade bullying, ramming and harassing ships in the South China Sea, artificially militarizing reefs and islands that belong to other countries, destructive fishing practices (even poisoning the seas around the Philippines with cyanide), claiming territory that isn't theirs, and then weaponizing commerce - banning tourism, choking off critical minerals, whatever petty punishment fits the schizo meltdown that week.

It's backfiring spectacularly. Countries aren't suddenly forgetting Japan's past; they're just doing basic survival math in the present.

Unbeknownst to most because Japan doesn't boast about it: after World War II, Japan quietly rebuilt trust and ties with Southeast Asia through massive, low-key economic support that started as war reparations (paying out around $1 billion total to countries like Burma, the Philippines, Indonesia, and South Vietnam in the 1950s–1970s, often in goods, services, and infrastructure projects which evolved into one of the world's largest Official Development Assistance (ODA) programs.

They did this without much publicity or fanfare or political strings attached, pouring trillions of yen into roads, ports, power plants, and other economic infrastructure across ASEAN nations, helping fuel their growth while conveniently opening doors for Japanese businesses.

Compare and contrast with how China runs its Belt and Road Initiative - economic development with lots of strings attached, loans with interests that must be repaid lest having to cede to China a port or two.

Beyond all of this, everybody just loves Japanese soft power, which makes the rest of Asia appreciate its reliable, non-aggressive presence even more.

I applaud The Telegraph for interviewing Jung Chang, who has lived through Empress Dowager Ci Xi, and Mao. She also gives good insight on present China under Xi today.

Illegal Chinese biolabs have been discovered in California and Nevada.

Don’t brush this off because it’s not at your doorstep. If there are no consequences, China won’t stop. This is a national security threat that puts all of us at risk.

We need to lock down dangerous pathogens and cut China’s access to U.S. labs and research visas.

God bless Japan.

Beautiful country.

Well done Sanae Takaichi 🇯🇵

Congratulazioni di cuore al Primo Ministro @takaichi_sanae per l’importante successo conseguito alle elezioni per il rinnovo della Camera dei Rappresentanti del Giappone.

Le nostre Nazioni sono unite da una profonda amicizia e da un partenariato strategico che continua a rafforzarsi grazie al rapporto di fiducia sincera e di collaborazione costruttiva che abbiamo saputo costruire in questi anni tra i nostri Governi.

Porto sempre negli occhi e nel cuore la straordinaria accoglienza ricevuta durante la mia visita di gennaio, che ha ulteriormente consolidato il legame tra le nostre Nazioni. L’Italia continuerà con convinzione a camminare al fianco del Giappone per affrontare insieme le sfide globali, promuovere crescita, sicurezza e stabilità e rendere ancora più profondo il rapporto che ci unisce.

Buon lavoro alla mia cara amica Sanae e al nuovo Parlamento giapponese.

Why is China acting so fucking retarded? Literally nobody is threatening you. Calm the fuck down.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

Fantastic to see this strong leadership from Japan on Taiwan.

An example for Britain.

[Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ]

Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.

No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.

Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice.

Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.
