ethiopian default
China's One Belt, One Road initiative is set to go even further down the road after Africa's Ethiopia defaulted on the 2nd, unable to pay interest on its debt due in December. The countries circled on the map in the image are the countries where China is primarily investing. Ethiopia, which defaulted this time, is marked in red. One Belt, One Road is a route south to Italy in Europe, but Italy has announced its withdrawal from One Belt, One Road. This is the departure of the western base. Where is Kitaji's base? It is now Kiiv, the capital of Ukraine, which is currently at war.
One Belt, One Road debt trap
Yellow countries are those with excessive debt to China. Includes Sudan and Somalia. These are the countries along the Suez Sea, including Ethiopia, which follow the Suez Canal, and China was trying to gain control of the sea route to the Mediterranean Sea. The rationale is simple: once the One Belt, One Road project starts, we can make a lot of money, so why not borrow money and prepare?
Read it together
The acquisition of African countries by the world's underground financial institution AIIB is China's national strategy.
AIIB is the world's black finance. Lending money to developing countries to realize OBOR. They provide funds that cannot be repaid, and when they are unable to repay, they seize the country's ports and other facilities. If OBOR is realized, the countries in the area will become rich. That's why it's better to borrow more and more money.
With this financing, China bought up votes in the United Nations, including African countries.
Originally, the African continent was divided into two colonies, British and French, and the British Commonwealth and French Community held the vote in the United Nations, but what is the situation like now? OBOR is China's national takeover strategy.
Communism views capitalists and managers as enemies. Workers become subordinate to capital, and capitalists who acquire large amounts of capital become figures that shake up the nation. Therefore, Chinese companies are controlled by the state as state-owned or semi-state-owned.
In modern China, the state is the capitalist. They invest in domestic and international development in the name of investing in the region and the nation.
If you look at the fact that they are subjugating developing countries to capital, they are essentially no different from the capitalists they see as their enemies.
In fact, it's even worse.
road to south africa
South Africa has the highest GDP among African economies, and it can be seen that the countries on the land route to South Africa are also trying to keep it in check. Countries other than the ones circled account for 36.9% of China's investments in Africa, so it is spreading money to almost all countries. The purpose is to buy votes from the United Nations. African countries account for approximately 28.5% of the votes in the United Nations. This is what is behind China and the West, dismissing it as a minority opinion.
Related to the Taiwan Strait
This is actually related to the Taiwan Strait issue. Mainly African countries support China's "one China principle." Africa does not want to get into trouble with its creditor country, China, over a faraway island with which they do not have any exchanges.
If the countries along the Suez Sea default, the Belt and Road initiative will end for Africa.

China's biggest weakness is its vast territory - We are dispersed - What is the biggest advantage of QUAD?
Advantages of the Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty
China continues to acquire underdeveloped countries
Japan at its limit along the first island chain
Make the most of the country's large land area
The biggest weakness is that the country is large
Threat to China is a deterrent
The Japan-Soviet non-aggression pact during World War II had benefits for both sides. The Soviet Union's weakness was its vast territory. If the Japanese army invaded from the east while fighting the Nazis in the west, the Soviet army would have no choice but to disperse and would have no choice. After the Nazis surrendered on May 7, the Soviet Union entered the war against Japan.
The image above shows China's archipelago strategy and its maritime route to Pakistan, known as the String of Pearls. Currently, the Spratly Islands are under control, Sri Lanka's Hampantota port has been leased to China for 99 years, and, strangely enough, a coup d'etat occurred in Myanmar and China has secured access to the Bay of Bengal by land. The Solomon Islands government has been taken over and has signed a security agreement with China, refusing to accept foreign naval vessels. It's just a stone's throw from Australia.
Japan is currently debating the defense of its first island chain. As long as Japan and Taiwan are protected, that's fine. That may be the correct answer in terms of national defense, but if China considers it difficult to capture the first island chain, it will simply put it off until later and steadily advance its maritime strategy to the west. The Chinese Communist Party gains power each time it acquires concessions, and it is unable to stop the relative increase in threats to Japan's national defense.
In other words, China is making the most of its vast territory and expanding its reach into surrounding areas. Will the countries threatened by China defend themselves with their own strength? In other words, the enemy is a mass of 14 billion people, and we are unaware that they are scattered.
The important point about QUAD, which was proposed by former Prime Minister Abe, is that it draws India in. If China and India clash in Kashmir, communist forces will disperse to the west. Military power is nothing more than a total number, and some people compare numbers and say things like that, but in this case it is meaningless. Could troops in Sichuan province participate in the invasion of Taiwan? China's biggest weakness is its vast territory.
China's maritime expansion is intended to be a game changer for the world. Simply defending the first island chain in order to counter this would be a completely different level of thinking. The theory of dividing China will only be effective on a scale that confronts China's global expansion. For China, the absolute threat of ``If you don't act, I'll surround you and tear you apart'' is itself a deterrent.
China's expansion policy is a historical necessity - Japan is the only neighboring country that did not listen.
Japan is probably the only East Asian country that has been not under Chinese control.Prince Shotoku's personal letter, "The Emperor of the rising Sun send a letter to you who is Emperor of the sun set ". declared that Japan was not a subordinate country to China.The Huns, Sun Fei, Khitan, Yeojin, Manchuria, and Mongolia were a threat to the Han nationality, and the era of the 16th Kingdom of the Five Kingdoms was a time when many ethnic groups owned the country.The Sunbae people established the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Nujin and the Manchurians established the Qing dynasties during the King Jin dynasties.
Originally, China was conscious of the northern and western continents.In order to guard against foreign invasion, the capital was relocated from Xi'an to Beijing and the Great Wall was built.The Korean Peninsula has not shown its willingness to invade China.Although it was a subordinate country, it maintained its ethnic area as a country.Unlike nomads in the northern part of the peninsula, they settled down.Due to the small area of flat land and the lack of agricultural technology, the land is poor and the number of slaves is large.When the nomadic people eat up, they just move to the next place.At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the video of foreigners praising China was the essence of China, and as a result of conquest, China now exists.
The identity of China itself in history was to conquest Asia.
Mongolia, which unified the northern peoples in the past, invaded China and established a Yuan dynasties.This is the time when China's expansionary policy is the most important.To the north, the Duchy of Novgorod and other major Russian states were under control, and to the west, Poland was attacked three times.As a result, Poland became a ruined country, although it originally withdrew its troops.During this period, the Goryeo dynasties collapsed on the Korean Peninsula and returned to their original rule.
Aggression to Japan was carried out as part of Yuan's expansionary policy.As a result, the Yuan army was destroyed and Japan maintained its independence after two attacks.Historically, China has a strong belief that Asian countries are under Chinese rule.This is because China was unified by conquering Asia.Only Japan is different.China has never beaten Japan in history.
Japan is a rare country that repelled this during China's expansion and defended its independence against Western colonialism.
Will Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Foreign Minister Lavrov enter a new era by promising cooperation in various fields?
Lavrov, who is visiting China on the 30th, held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, "The will of both sides to develop bilateral relations will become stronger and the belief to promote cooperation in various fields will become stronger."Foreign Minister Lavrov responded by saying, "We will continue to develop our relations with China steadily."
In addition, Chinese state media wrote that we have no restrictions on cooperation between China and Russia on Twitter,there are no restrictions on peace, security and opposition to hegemony.
During the invasion of Ukraine, it was confirmed that China was aiming to develop relations with Russia.It can be interpreted as , which includes military field, among the cooperation in various fields that Wang Yi said.If any security cooperation is established between Russia and China, China's invasion of Taiwan will become a reality.In this case, the United States, like Ukraine, is likely not to defend Taiwan.At least the current Biden administration is likely to abandon Taiwan easily if China and Russia become a barrier.
Does this mean that China has taken the lead in building relations with Russia while there is no clue to improving relations with the United States?In the first place, the U.S.-China relationship began with the aim of bringing China to the U.S. camp in Asia and putting pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War.President Nixon's surprise visit to China will be followed by normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China.The United Nations recognized the People's Republic of China as China's representative government, and the Republic of China (Taiwan) withdrew from the United Nations.If China were to join the Russian camp this time, it would be a self-evident result that the opposite effect, or the movement to pressure the liberal camp, would intensify.Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine that the United States and other liberal countries will bring China back by improving relations with China.China may not have been the card to deal with.
Xi Jinping's New Year's greeting contained the will to unify Taiwan. Before the New Year, President Xi Jinping announced the 2022 New Year's greetings through the China Media Group and the Internet. Xinhuanet reported.
President Xi said, "Looking back on this year, it was of extraordinary significance. We experienced a major event with a milestone in the history of the Chinese Communist Party and the nation. The history of the" Two Centenaries "struggle goal. We have started a new path of full-scale construction of a modernized socialist nation, and we are moving strongly and proudly on the path of to realize the great reconstruction of the Chinese people. "
"On July 1st, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. If we keep our original intentions in mind, we will surely get results. Only by doing it properly, it is possible to go against history, against the times, and against the expectations of the people. "
President Xi said, "My country has consistently cared about the prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong and Macau districts. Only when we work together and work together to ensure a stable" one country, two systems ". It can be carried out in the long term. Achievement of complete unification of the homeland is a common wish of the people of both banks . I sincerely look forward to creating a wonderful future for the people. "
"When communicating over the phone with foreign leaders and heads of international organizations and holding video conferences, they made many contributions to China's fight against the new coronavirus and to prevent and curb the world's corona. At present, China has provided a total of more than 120 countries and international organizations with 2 billion doses of the new coronavirus vaccine. Only when countries around the world work together to overcome difficulties and unite and cooperate will humanity be destined. You can write a new chapter in community building. "
President Xi said, "In a little more than a month, the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics will begin. Encouraging more people to participate in winter sports is also the essence of the Olympic Movement. We do our best to do our best. We dedicate a grand Olympic Games to the world. The world has high expectations for China, and China is already ready. "
Quoted article: People's Network Japanese version
China puts aside domestic environmental issues and bans imports from Fukushima.
I was wondering why the average life expectancy of the Chinese people is so short.China is the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine and is a country that practices the same principle of medicine and food, but why is there a difference of nearly 7 to 8 years with Japan? There used to be a difference of about 10 years. I thought it was because Chinese cuisine basically uses a lot of oil, but that alone doesn't explain it.
There was a story that when an air dosimeter was used to measure air dosimetry in an apartment in Shanghai, it was 976 times as high as in Tokyo.However, since radioactivity from land comes from mineral resources, it is important to note that radioactivity from land is emitted from mineral resources, so it is important to note that radioactivity from land is emitted from mineral resources. The higher the radiation dose, the higher the radiation dose. Plutonium is extracted from uranium ore, and there are many other ores that contain high amounts of radioactive materials in nature.
It has long been known that rare metals made in China are traded internationally at low prices because China does not provide the various health considerations and guarantees that each country naturally takes into account. This is natural since this is a country where there is no sense of human rights. Radioactive materials are generated from rare metals during the mining process. As a result of not paying attention to the miners, radioactive materials flow into the river.
The fine aggregate, or fine sand, used in things like concrete is finely ground by river currents. Nuclear power plants in inland China use river water for cooling water, but it is said that nuclear power plant accidents occur frequently, and since it is a country like that, even if an accident occurs, it is naturally covered up.
As a result, we do not know what is contained in the building materials of condominiums. It is understandable that radioactivity levels were detected in Shanghai crabs taken downstream of the river.
Japan should always talk from a scientific perspective, and if the Chinese had a scientific perspective, would they realize that their country is already in a dire situation? If you still don't notice 30 years from now...
