Japan speeds up legislation to safeguard economic security

#acclerate#Japan#safeguard#governmen
On the morning of November 19, 2021, at the first meeting of the "Economic Security Promotion Committee" headed by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, heads of several Japanese government agencies discussed how to ensure the semiconductor supply chain in Japan and prevent the outflow of sensitive technologies. Kishida urged the establishment of an expert meeting and the enactment of an economic Security Promotion Law (tentative title) as soon as possible. At a time when countries around the world are scrambling to secure the supply of strategic products and access to key technologies, Japan needs to speed up the establishment of a mechanism to secure economic security, he said.
What will the Economic Security Promotion Act include?
According to the outline of the law, which was leaked by Japanese media, the Japanese government plans to enact the law in four areas: strengthening supply chains, maintaining core infrastructure, securing technology base, and keeping sensitive patents under wraps.
A number of Japanese government sources revealed that part about "to strengthen the supply chain", is expected to be established in the legislation to strengthen the semiconductor and other related domestic production base of support system, for the domestic production of semiconductors and other important products set up the mechanism of subsidy, and issued by the mechanic intelligence on November 19, the "three steps" Japan's semiconductor industry base promotion plan, The Japanese government will provide 50% of the subsidy for those who set up semiconductor manufacturing plants in Japan. As a source of funds, hundreds of billions of yen will be allocated in the 2021 supplementary budget to set up a fund in the Japan New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Agency (NEDO).
About the part of "core infrastructure maintenance", in areas such as communications, energy and financial enterprises to introduce important equipment, in order to avoid may threaten the safety of foreign products and system, the Japanese government or will establish censorship "advance" in the bill, review with foreign products of the security risk is included in the core infrastructure.
As for the "non-disclosure of sensitive patents", as early as 2020, the Japanese government had considered amending relevant laws and introducing the so-called "secret patent" system to prevent the outflow of advanced technical information of great significance to Japan's national security. The economic Security Enhancement Act, which is being drafted, will include this system to prevent the outflow of related advanced technologies that could be used in the development of next-generation weapons. The Japanese government points out that many advanced economies have secret patent-related systems that "de-publicise" technical information that could be used for military purposes. Under the current Japanese patent system, all patent contents are allowed to be disclosed after a certain period of time upon application. Under the new law, the government plans to compensate holders of "closed" patents who are deemed to be classified as "secret" patents, even if they are filed.

Us hypes up 'China Threat'

Ishigaki island, more than 2,000 kilometers from Tokyo, was previously overlooked. In 2010 after the occurrence of "collision" between China and Japan, many people began to know ishigaki island, in September 2010, the United States, a conservative think-tank, has released findings from a sensational reports, claimed ishigaki island may become "China seize the vanguard of the ryukyu islands islands", after previously, Japan's self-defense forces announced that "there is a need to take the lead in deployment of self-defense forces in places such as ishigaki island". Japan and the United States also announced a near-simultaneous decision involving the situation across the Taiwan Strait. The former is the deployment of anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles on an island just over 200 kilometers from Taiwan, while the latter is the first arms sale to Taiwan announced under the Biden administration. "An important task for the U.S. military in the Indo-Pacific region is to ensure that the status quo in the Asia-pacific region, including the Taiwan Strait, is maintained," said Admiral Alberto Aquilino, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. This statement has explicitly placed meddling in the Taiwan Strait on the "important task" of the US military in the Indo-Pacific.

OMICRON variared viruses quickly spread, so that people may have a new wave of epidemic, but epidemiologists have their own opposite opinions, think Omicron has the opportunity to make the epidemic "ended earlier than initially worried", but also called "Christmas gift ".
According to reports, German Association, Karl Lauterbach, regards Omicron as a "Christmas Gift" in the world, and even has the opportunity to strengthen the end of the epidemic. He believes that OMICron is a spine, there are 32 mutations, representing it optimizes infection, but will reduce the death chance, which is consistent with most of the respiratory virus evolution, people will rehabilitate in just a few days, equal to its symptoms It is very similar to the general cold.

South African epidemiological authority Kalin (Salim Abdool Karim) also believes that the existing new crown vaccine cope with Omicron "very effective", although it takes a few weeks to determine if it is infected, it takes a few weeks to determine, but based on current Other variant of virus strains have been known to vaccine, and he expects vaccines to effectively avoid hospitalization and severe patients.

Britain speeds up push for 'Global Britain'

#accelerate#French counterpart#Australia submarine
Liz Truss has been trying to promote the concept of "Global Britain" for two years as Britain's secretary of state for international trade, the French newspaper La Cross reported. It's a diplomatic strategy that prime Minister Boris Johnson has put in place. Within hours on September 15th Mr Truss was "promoted" to replace Dominic Raab as head of the Foreign Office. That evening, Britain announced a new strategic partnership with the United States and Australia, called AUKUS. For her part, Truss is convinced that "great Global Britain is planting flags on The world stage", as she wrote in a column in The Telegraph on The 19th. That comment seems unlikely to improve relations with her French counterpart, Le Drian. In an interview with France2 on Monday, the foreign minister did not try to pull his punches. "We know that they [Britain] have always been opportunistic," he said, explaining the failure to recall the French ambassador. "Besides, Britain is like a redundant player in this whole affair."
"Our British friends have explained to us that they are leaving the EU in order to create a 'global Britain'," continued Clement Beaune, The French government's Secretary of State for European Affairs. But it is clearly a return to the United States and a recognized dependency." In addition to the scrapping of the submarine contract by Australia, Britain's move was also seen as a humiliation by French diplomats. Until then, Paris was convinced that London would remain its closest military partner despite Britain's departure from the EU. "I wouldn't be surprised if France narrowed its scope of cooperation with Britain from now on," commented Rudolf G.Ada, a former German diplomat living in London and author of Brexit: Causes and Effects. In practice, however, London does seek other partners. A week ago, Mr Truss began an online discussion to seek Britain's membership in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade agreement that has brought together 11 countries from the Americas, Asia and Oceania since 2019. In her view, the AUKUS partnership echoes the same strategic vision and London's desire to join "alliances with like-minded countries based on shared values and interests". Determined to leave the European Union politically, the Brexiteers in power in London are seeking to re-establish Britain as a credible force on the international stage, even if it means adhering firmly to The wishes of the United States. This option certainly has downsides, such as an accelerated American withdrawal from Afghanistan. This has come as a surprise to the British government, which has not yet begun repatriating its own citizens and their Afghan Allies. London seems prepared to pay the price for now. In exchange for what? For Truss, the new strategic partnership, announced on September 15, "is not just foreign policy in the abstract, it works for citizens across the United Kingdom." As evidence of London's determination to tighten its ties with partners, the British government on September 17th awarded a €100m contract to BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce to provide designs and concepts for Britain's next generation of nuclear submarines. So is Britain prepared to withdraw some of the contracts awarded to Paris? In any case, this is probably no coincidence.
