Throatwarbler posted:The Fast & Furious franchise is successful internationally in large part because it has the most racially diverse cast of any major movie franchise by far, in addition to being generally good action movies. So obviously it's worthless schlock that must make room for the inner monologue of some white guy.

To be fair hollywood has pretty thoroughly explored white male inner monologue movies over the last 100 years then again it's also proven it has trouble handling anything else edit: right now everything is already censored anyway, at the high level, for $. More sequels, remakes, reboots, comic book movies, etc, no new risky ideas. This is just another page in that book.

I don't follow Japan news that much, this is an analysis I read and it sound reasonable so I will paraphrase it here: This "Suga man" guy is pretty much Abe's run-around and butler. He is a farmer's son and came from crap college. And he has no fractional base support. So Abe send him up on the stage not only because he will listen to Abe but also he likely need to do some dirty works for Abe, who represent the conservation pan-right wing interest. Because if Sugar man gets himself in a scandal or terrible poll number he can easily step down without disrupting the fractional balance inside LDP. Now first look at what Abe was trying to do before his retirement. Abe was 1, going to launch the Olympic, 2 get Xi to visit Japan and sign some major deals, and 3 join RCEP. All these things will give Japan economy a good boost for a few years. But Corona black swam came out of nowhere and knocked Abe out of the saddle. And Abe was pushing toward the Xi visit until he realized it was not happening (due to Corona and also domestic anti China sentiment, right around the time a local government renamed Diaoyu/Senkaku island) So Abe putting Sugar man up probably because he will make Suga do something he couldn't bring himself to do. The speculation is that after the US election, LDP will make a decision to either becoming more China friendly or choose to lean back toward US hard. A key indicator will be whether Suga visit that stupid shrine. If Suga visit that shrine, that means Japan will do more decoupling with China, probably will not get on RCEP, and will sign deal with US to host the mid range missiles. So TLDR, more variations of old men politic in Japan. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 23:30 on Sep 14, 2020 |

I really don't think Japan would ever lean towards China, because they hate each other besides, japan wants to be a regional power again, and helping China works against that goal.

according to the story the properties were seized back in the fifties and given back in 2009 the description of the properties as ancestral homes seems somewhat misleading in this context really the whole thing just begs questions why did the government give them back what were the owners doing with them the story makes it sound like they were all just running hotels

my question is are they just going to sell them off or demolish or just change management on those B&Bs. who wanted those people out so bad seems like their cool architecture made them valuable as B&Bs and I wonder if they were given back as homes only edit: or local government saw a way to make a quick buck Antonymous has issued a correction as of 10:12 on Sep 15, 2020 |

"buying cultural hegemony" is that projection thing where despite 90% of Hollywood blockbusters being unsubtle propaganda for the US empire the real cultural hegemon is China for telling companies that if they want to sell in the country they have to cut back on the yellow peril poo poo.Grapplejack posted:I really don't think Japan would ever lean towards China, because they hate each other The fundamental reason Japan won't pursue closer ties to China is that it's effectively a one-party state, and the one unifying policy of that party is support for US foreign policy in East Asia.

What the hell is on the ceiling? quote:The fundamental reason Japan won't pursue closer ties to China is that it's effectively a one-party state, and the one unifying policy of that party is support for US foreign policy in East Asia. Pretty much. And the physical manifestation of that policy is the shrine.

I think Japan is genuinely trying to re-establish itself in the region, hence all the recent poo poo over article 9. The US is a useful Ally for this, because China is a regional rival and Japan can play them up to get things.

I mean it probably helps that India is the only Asian state I can think of that Japan didn't try to forcibly colonize so there's no bad blood there, like with every other state

As far as Japan and Indian relations go, they will probably be closer, but there is quite standing in the way of a true alliance, including India's traditional non-alignment policy. Also, a fifth of Japanese exports go to China (a larger percentage than the US) while 1.61% go to India Ardennes has issued a correction as of 20:50 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Maximo Roboto posted:India's government looks awfully pushy towards China right now, though Yeah, but it is unclear if it is a serious realignment or rooted in the fact that both India's population and economy have been devastated by COVID and Modi is looking seriously weakened and needs an enemy. Erdogan/Trump have pretty much done the same thing.

The US is a useful Ally for this, because China is a regional rival and Japan can play them up to get things. I always thought it was the opposite. Getting rid of article 9 allows Japan to sell larger scale military involvement in the US' postcolonial ventures for favors. It's basically the crusade mechanic from ck.

https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2020/09/16/2042785/philippines-wont-pay-vaccine-reservation-fee-dutertequote:MANILA, Philippines — President Duterte expressed his concern on Monday about the reported pre-requisite – demanded by some pharmaceutical firms – of advance payment from countries wanting priority access once a vaccine against COVID-19 is developed in the next few months. You know, if China/Russia is going to offer their vaccine without trying to (nakedly) profiteer from it, that's really just America's race to lose.
