  1. Trump Shares Details Of US-China Summit With Prime Minister Takaichi

    Following the recent summit between the United States and China, US President Donald Trump shared the details with Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae via a phone call, according to a news report by Kyodo News.

    Recently, Trump visited China and met with their president Xi Jinping. It is noted that there is tension between China and Japan. As such, Trump’s sharing of the details with Takaichi is significant.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…

    Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Friday U.S. President Donald Trump briefed her by phone in “great detail” on his meeting in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    Takaichi told reporters after speaking with Trump, who was aboard Air Force One after wrapping up a three-day stay from Wednesday in China, that she is “deeply grateful” for how he brought up Japan, a close U.S. ally, during his meeting with Xi, though she did not elaborate.

    Takaichi and Trump also exchanged views on “various challenges regarding China,” in such fields as security and the economy, and agreed to continue to communicate closely in dealing with the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, she said.

    With President Trump, I affirmed the unwavering Japan-U.S. alliance,” Takaichi said at her office.

    Trump has said he and Xi made some “fantastic trade deals” without elaborating, and that they feel “very similar” about the need to end the war in Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

    Takaichi and Trump last met in Washington in March, where they “opposed any attempts to unilaterally change the status quo, including by force or coercion,” according to the White House, in an apparent reference to China’s growing economic and military clout.

    Ties between Japan and China have been frayed since Takaichi, known for her hawkish security views, infuriated China with her parliamentary remarks in November that a Taiwan contingency could be a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan that could trigger a response by the Self-Defense Forces in support of the United States.

    Taiwan, a self-ruled democratic island claimed by Beijing, is viewed as a potential military flashpoint that could draw the United States into conflict with China, posing serious security challenges for Japan.

    Before the U.S.-China summit, Japan had been concerned that Trump, known for his deal-making approach, could make compromises on issues regarding Taiwan.

    After his meeting with Xi, Trump told reporters that he thinks there is no risk of conflict with China over Taiwan, and that he made “no commitment” to Xi over the island. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that U.S. policies on Taiwan remain unchanged.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the United States will have stable ground when dealing with both China and Japan? Could it be possible that China will bully Japan less this year? Do you think there will be more stability in the Pacific and in financial markets as far as Japan and China are concerned?

  2. Japan Considering Export Of Type 88 Surface-To-Ship Missile System To The Philippines

    Following the revision of the limits on defense equipment exports and the successful testing of anti-ship missiles witnessed by many, Japan is considering the export of Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile (SSM-1) system to the Philippines, according to a news report by Kyodo News.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…

    The Japanese government is considering exporting the Type 88 surface-to-ship missile system to the Philippines, a source familiar with the matter said Friday.

    The move follows Tokyo’s revision in April of its three principles on the transfer of defense equipment and technology, as well as the implementing guidelines, which eased restrictions on exports of lethal weapons.

    Japan and the Philippines are aiming to strengthen security ties amid China’s assertiveness in the East and South China seas.

    Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters Friday that “nothing has been decided at this point,” regarding the possible missile export.

    Referring to an agreement on enhanced defense equipment and technology cooperation reached in Manila on May 5 with his Philippine counterpart Gilberto Teodoro, Koizumi voiced his intention to decide what would be exported.

    On May 6, Japan’s Self-Defense Forces conducted a live-fire drill involving the Type 88 missile system during the annual U.S.-Philippines Balikatan exercise in the Philippines.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think it is inevitable that Japan will export the Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile (SSM-1) to the Philippines? Do you think the said missile system will enhance the defense of the Philippines and make Communist China think twice before invading the country?

  5. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.

  19. Washington Post reveals the endgame. #Trump will personally address the #800 #generals #Hegseth summoned, framing #domestic #military action as #patriotic duty. His NBC interview preview—calling it “esprit de corps” and discussing “how well we’re doing militarily”—masks the real agenda now confirmed by #Pentagon sources: unveiling a new #nationaldefense strategy that pivots from #China to #homeland #defense.” In other words, co opting the US military as his private #gestapo /1

  20. Microsoft quietly told key government partners it's halting the use of China‑based engineers on Department of Defense cloud systems. 🙄 All this comes after a ProPublica piece revealed the “digital escort” model, where U S cleared personnel oversee foreign engineers that left serious security and oversight gaps.

    TL;DR
    ⚠️ Foreign engineers were accessing sensitive DoD systems via U S supervisors 🤬
    🔐 Many escorts lacked skills to vet code or detect threats
    🛠️ Microsoft has now banned China‑based support for DoD workloads
    📌 Pentagon launched a two‑week review and Senator Tom Cotton called for deeper scrutiny
