Article:"Japan to Promote Solar Power for Households: Nikkei"
Reuters (6/22/2008)
http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUST20585820080622It is reported in the Reuters article linked above that, according to Nikkei Newspaper, the Japanese government will soon announce an incentive program, such as subsidies and tax breaks, to promote the household use of solar power systems, effective next year. This kind of program will contribute to the solution of high energy prices and worsening environmental problems, and is really long overdue in Japan.
We should note that policymakers as well as the general public tend to think of something like an "environment tax" as most important in solving the energy-environment problems. However, it is not so widely recognized that subsidies and tax cuts are equally important in the sense that encouraging the use of efficient and non-polluting use of energy amounts to the same thing as discouraging its inefficient and polluting use by introducing taxes and regulations. Either way, we would be "pricing" the externalities which result from energy consumption with negative effects on the environment.
It is widely known that Japan is highly regarded as among the most efficient and environment friendly countries as far as industrial activities are concerned. It is about time for Japan to establish a similar reputation with regard to household activities.

China's Current Problems and ResponsibilitiesThere was a special class meeting with a guest speaker from China (Nanjing University of Finance and Economics), Mr. Zhang Weifu, on ¡ÈChina¡Ç current problems and responsibilities¡É in the East Asia course offered at the Economics Department of USC (University of Southern California) in Los Angeles on June 18.
First, Mr. Zhang gave a brief talk about income inequalities and regional developments in China. Regarding the income disparity issue, he pointed out that in China the Gini coefficient seems very high, meaning a high degree of inequalities, mainly because of vast income disparities between urban and rural areas, which consist of ¡Ètwo different worlds¡É in China, given the fact that rural to urban migration is strictly regulated. However, within the rural area as well as within the urban area, there does not exist such a high level of inequalities, although some disparities may be remaining within each area, just as they are in any other countries. Mr. Zhang also touched on recent incidents in Tibet in the context of what he described as the ¡Èpeaceful development of all regions¡É in China. Aside from his personal insistence that Tibet has historically been part of China for the last few hundred years, his main point on this issue seemed to be that it is important to have an uninterrupted development of the Chinese economy without violence and disturbances, which could possibly result in regional disintegration of China as a nation with disastrous consequences not only on China itself but also on the global economy.
After his presentation, an active discussion took place, as some students asked him about whether China¡Çs economic success will help introduce democracy or maintain the current communist rule in China. Mr. Zhang responded by insisting that China has its own political system, a kind of ¡ÈAsian system,¡É which is and will be different from Western-style ¡Èdemocracy¡É for the sake of the Chinese people, an argument which may not sell well in the U.S.
In the second half of the meeting, Professor Takahiro Miyao gave a brief lecture on current problems in China, such as energy, environment, piracy and other key issues involving China and other emerging economies. And then he conducted a questionnaire exercise by asking all the participating students to answer various questions concerning China¡Çs responsibilities as possible factors to cause some of the global problems such as high energy prices, global warming, etc.
Interestingly enough, the questionnaire results have shown that the respondents seem to think that China is not mainly responsible for the energy and environmental problems or trade imbalances with the U.S., although China is considered largely responsible for rampant piracy activities within that country. It is impressive, to say the least, to see very lenient attitude toward China as a possible cause for various global problems as well as very optimistic prospects for China¡Çs long-term prosperity and stability among the participating students. This may be partly because at least half of the students are from Asia, and partly because they sense an improving official relationship between China and the U.S. for the last several years.

The announcement has immpediately affected crude oil prices in the world market.
This means that China's demand is an important, if not the most important, factor for recent energy price hikes.

"Median home price in California drops 30% in May"
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-homes19-2008jun19,0,4339043.storyAccording to today's LA Times article (see the link above), the median home price in California declined about 30% in May, and this is the steepest monthly decline in two decades.
This is certainly bad news, but the subtitle of this article reads "That's drawng an influx of first-time buyers." Is this true?
I doubt if first-time buyers are so irrational that they would invest their fortune in the assets that are still declining in value. The market should show some signs of bottoming out, and then, first-time buyers as well as other investors would jump in.

"Oil to the Fore in US-China Talks"
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=1222738130It is reported in today's Washington Post article (see the link above) that US Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson met Wang Qishan, China's vice premier at the US Naval Academy on the firsst day of the Strategic Economic Dialogue today.
Although this article is entitled "Oil to the Fore in US-China Talks," what was really discussed on today's meeting is not clear by looking at a list of mass media reports (see the link above) on today's Strategic Economic Dialogue with varying headlines as follows:
"US, China wrapping up high-level economic talks with plenty of disagreements remaining"
"US presses China to open markets, faces dollar criticism"
"US, China report no major economic breakthroughs"
"China says lessons learned from US economic woes"
"China, US pledge further cooperation"
"Talks with US start on positive note"
It is a kind of "Rashomon," meaning that everyone can see whatever he or she would like to see in this dialogue. That is just the opposite to the meaning of the word "strategic."

http://www.eturbonews.com/2829/japanese-travelers-top-list-expedias-best-touJapanese tourists have won the top position in the list of Expedia's best tourists for this year, just as last year. Japanese travelers are considered polite and tidy, thus most welcome by hoteliers across the globe.
German and British tourists tied for second place, while American tourists were at number 11 overall (too many complaints and no fashion sense).
On the other hand, Japanese tourists were not highly rated in such categories as incorporating local languages and local cuisine, whereas Americans tend to show most interest in those local matters.

Article:Crews Search for Missing in Japan's 7.2 Quake
Associated Press (6/15/2008)
http://ap.google.com/article/
ALeqM5g5IgwzKsStVs5sFHkA5uIawpldqAD91AAI7G0References:Japan Nuclear Facilities Working Normally After Quake
Reuters (6/14):
http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKT3752020080614Fujitsu to Restart Quake-Hit Japan Chip Plant in 2-3 Days
Reuters (6/15):
http://uk.reuters.com/article/
rbssIndustryMaterialsUtilitiesNews/idUKT4235620080615It is widely reported that Saturday's 7.2-magnitude quake in the Tohoku region left at least nine people dead and at least a dozen missing with more than two hundred people injured. Search teams are now frantically working to find and save those who are still missing, mostly due to landslides in the hardest-hit region, as described in the AP news article linked above. This article also points out that the quake affected a nuclear power plant in the Fukushima, where some radioactive water leaked within the nuclear facility, but a government official said "there was no leakage outside the plant."
That kind of information is quite important, because there have been some foreign newspaper reports with the headline "Small Radioactive Water Leak After Japan Quake," which by itself could possibly be misinformation or even disinformation. In this regard, Reuters' article "Japan Nuclear Facilities Working Normally After Quake" is quite helpful in informing the reader of what is really going on in that region. Similarly, newspaper articles entitled "Quake Hits Car, Electronics Factories in Northern Japan" could be misleading without being followed up by a report such as another Reuters piece "Fujitsu to Restart Quake-Hit Japan Chip Plant in 2-3 Days," linked above.
It is interesting to find the difference between media sensationalism serving commercial interests vs. true journalism informing the general public, especially at critical times like devastating earthquakes. For this reason, it is quite important to have more comprehensive information services to be offered by public offices, especially local governments, as well as more active participation of "citizen reporters" sharing their first-hand information on the Internet, especially for the sake of those affected by the disaster at hand, rather than waiting to be informed, sometimes misinformed, by the mass media, which may not be well prepared to report on unexpected happenings like a big earthquake.

"Powerful earthquake hits Iwate Prefecture"
http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200806140107.htmlA big earthquake can hit anywhere, and this time the Iwate-Miyagi region was shocked by a quake with a magnitude of 7.2, which is comparable to the Big Kobe Earthquake in 1995, as reported in Asahi.com (see the link above).
Several people were reportedly killed with hundreds more injured. No matter where you go, whether the U.S. or China, you cannot possibly escape the danger of earthquakes and, therefore, you need to prepare for a big disaster, which could happen any minute.

"China tightens regulations on Macao's casinos"
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/world/20080612TDY05305.htmIt is reported in Yomiuri Online (see the link above) that the Chinese government is now intervening in Macao's casino business on the grounds that too much of gambling activity might well undermine the local economy and social fabric in Macao, where the Las Vegas style casino business has been booming for the last several years.
The Chinese government is now regulating the contruction of new casinos over there and restricing the Chinese people's move to that area, in response to increasing criticisms that more and more young people are attracted to gambling activities rather than educating themselves, and more and more money earned by briberies and kickbacks are being spent by local officials in Macao's casinos.
However reasonble these justifications might sound, this is clearly China's interference with the one-country, two-system formula, which should be applicable to Macao as well as Hong Kong.

http://www.nikkei.co.jp/news/sangyo/20080602AT1D3002G01062008.htmlThere are many similarities and differences between Japan and Korea. A case in point is whether and how to utilize elderly employees at business corporations facing an aging and shrinking workforce in the both countries.
According to a recent survey, reported in Nikkei Newspaper (see the link above), many Japanese companies are adopting a "rehiring system," in which elderly employees, right after retirement, are rehired on a contractual basis with lower wages than before their retirement, whereas Korean companies tend to keep elderly workers as regular employees by pushing up their mandatory retirement age.
In fact, about 95% of the Japanese companies surveyed have adopted some form of rehiring practices, while only 31% of the Korean companies have subscribed to such a practice. Instead, 16% of the Korean companies surveyed said they delayed their retirement age (only 2% of the Japanese companies did that) , and 22% of them said that they were planning to do so (only 9% of the Japanese companies were considering such a move).
One of the main reasons why Korean companies tend to delay their retirment age rather than adopting a rehiring system, compared to Japanese companies is that rehiring would lead to a kind of role reversal between younger and older workers and such a reversal would be more difficult to be accepted in the Korean (Confucian) culture than in the Japanese culture.

"South Koreans Assail U.S. Pact, Shaking Leader"
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/11/world/asia/11korea.html?_r=1&hp&oref=sloginIt is reported in today's NY Times (see the link above) that hundreds of thousands of people went out to the streets of Seoul and other major cities in South Korea on Tuesday to protest the resumption of beef imports from the U.S.
This was the biggest demonstration in a couple of decades, as it coincided with the 21st anniversary of the June 10 "People Power" struggle in 1987, when marked the end of military dictatorship and the beginning of the direct presidential election system in South Korea.
It is a kind of irony that new president Lee Myung-bak is now being severely criticized by the people who elected him.

"South Korean Gov't Mishandled Beef Deal:
Korean netizens continue candlelight vigils"
http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_view.asp?menu=A11100&no=382784&rel_no=1&back_url=According to some Korean Newspapers (see the links above), tonight's candlelight demonstrations will probably become biggest in a decade or two, as "Korean netizens and citizens from all sectors of Korean society" will go out to protest against their newly elected President Lee Myung-bak. The Korean president has become very unpopular after his 100 days in office, partly because of the US beef import problem.
On the other hand, Japan's prime minister Yasuo Fukuda is as unpopular as the Korean president, but still there is no protest movement visible in Japan, probably due to fundamental differences in netizens' behavior between Japan and Korea.

Article:"7 Dead in Tokyo Stabbing Rampage"
USAToday (6/8/2008)
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-06-08-stabbing-tokyo_N.htmReference:
"Tokyo, Madrid Score Higher Than Chicago in Olympic Bid Report"
Bloomberg News (6/8):
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=a.VVuel7pKCU&refer=asiaThis morning the world woke up and found out what happened in one of the best known districts of Tokyo, this time not for a cool electronic gadget, but for a brutal stabbing spree, leaving several people dead and many more seriously injured (see the link above). It should be pointed out that just like a stabbing incident which happened in a Joban-line train station outside of Tokyo about three months ago, some policemen who were supposed to protect citizens were assaulted and injured before arresting the killer.
This raises a serious question about public safety and security on the streets in Tokyo, especially in connection with international events such as the Olympics. Although Tokyo appears to be safe, compared to other major cities in the world, as it has been selected as one of the four finalists to host the 2016 Olympics by the IOC last week (see the link above), this kind of random violence could happen anytime and anywhere in Tokyo these days, and clearly the current police force is not enough to protect citizens from vicious assaults and attacks with no clear, thus no predictable, motives. In fact, this security concern is known to be one of the major reasons why the G-8 Summit this summer has been decided to be held not in a major city like Tokyo, but rather in an extremely remote and completely isolated area of the northern most island, Hokkaido.
Some might argue that current strict restrictions on the use of guns by policemen should be relaxed, especially in case of emergency like recent stabbing incidents in the Tokyo area. Whether it is reasonable or not, something drastic like that might be necessary to turn around the trend of deteriorating security conditions in Tokyo and other cities for Japan to host any major domestic or international event from now on.

»²¹Í¡§ReferenceLA Times (6/6):
"Unemployment, oil prices advance, piling on economy"
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-economy7-2008jun07,0,5077276.storyAccording to the Los Angeles Times article (see the link above), it looks like "stagflation" is here to stay in the U.S., as the umployment rate jumped to 5.5% in May from 5.0% in April, and the oil price soared to a record high level of $138 a barrel.
The worst part of it is the fact that there is no sign of bottoming out of this situation anytime soon and, therefore, the stock market went down substantially today.
Hopefully, there might be a little better news about the U.S. economy next week.

http://www.jaccc.org/-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As was reported in USC Professor Koichi Mera¡Çs article, "Proposals For Revival of Japan As an Independent Nation" (see the link above), there is a discussion group organized in the Los Angeles area, reading books and various materials on Japan¡Çs history and foreign relations and exchanging opinions and information among group members. The June meeting of the discussion group was held at JACCC in the ¡ÈLittle Tokyo¡É district of the City of Los Angeles at 3pm on June 1. About twenty people participated in the meeting, reading two books and exchanging questions and answers, moderated by Professor Mera.
The first book taken up was ¡ÈNational Intelligence Strategy¡É (Kokka Joho Senryaku) by Sato Masaru and Koh Young Choul, both of whom were once involved in national intelligence activities in Japan and South Korea, respectively. The main point of this book is to emphasize the importance of reestablishment of Japan¡Çs intelligence capabilities which were lost due to the defeat of the war with the U.S. in order for Japan, along with South Korea, to survive in the coming age of ¡Ènuclear imperialism,¡É triggered by North Korea, Iran, and other rogue states. In this context, Koh Young Choul argues that Japan could possibly create an excellent intelligence agency, even better than the American CIA, by utilizing its most advanced technology and also by returning to the tradition of good intelligence taught at Army Nakano (Intelligence) School in the prewar period.
Discussions among the participants centered around the lack of recognition of the important role of intelligence for the state as well as for business among Japanese politicians and businesspersons, in contrast to the situation in the U.S., where the government as well as private businesses are fully aware of the strategic importance of intelligence activities on a daily basis. Regarding Koh Young Choul¡Çs argument, some participants raised a question whether the U.S. would allow Japan to possess a strong intelligence capability in competition with the CIA, and also some doubt about the role and the quality of Army Nakano School, which apparently failed to produce true specialists to meet the nation¡Çs needs for intelligence at that time.
The second book was entitled ¡ÈOvercoming ¡ÆAnti-Japan¡Ç: How to Deal with China, and South and North Korea¡É (Han-nichi no Chokoku), authored by Nishimura Koyu, where anti-Japanese movements and sentiments in China, South and North Korea, as well as within Japan are highlighted by referring to various episodes, from long-standing controversies on the Imperial family and the Yasukuni shrine to recent conflicts between Japan and South Korea in the ¡Èmanga¡É world, as well as between Japan and China in the ¡Èblog¡É world.
In the free discussion, the first question raised was whether or not the situation regarding anti-Japanese sentiment in China and South Korea has now changed due to recent developments in political and social conditions in Japan as well as in China and South Korea with some new initiative to reverse the recent trends of confrontation and antagonism on the both sides. A majority of participants seemed to have an opinion that the situation has not changed in any fundamental way, especially with regard to Japan-China relations, where China¡Çs ¡Èself-centeredness¡É and ¡Èregional hegemony¡É are still dominant and Japan¡Çs mass media is not critical enough to reveal China¡Çs true intention in its recent approach to Japan, according to some participants.
However, there were some disagreements among the participants over the issues of (1) whether blogs are an effective means to obtain adequate information to supplement mass media reporting, (2) whether it is inevitable for Japanese business (including the mass media) to take a ¡Èpro-Chinese¡É stance these days, regardless of its political stance, and (3) whether we should take a ¡Ènationalistic¡É or ¡Èuniversal¡É interpretation of Japan¡Çs wartime experience, especially with China and Korea.
It was quite refreshing and impressive to hear this kind of discussions on Japan¡Çs past, present and future in a place like Los Angeles. In a sense those Japanese who are living overseas should be more concerned than those residing in Japan about where their home country is going, because that question is vital to their identity as Japanese away from home.
