Monetary security is nice! Having a steady income stream from book sales that you published a long time ago and don’t have to actually work for is a great thing!
The Western press could call Wang Yi ‘King Firm’, or, my personal favorite, Firm Wang. Seriously, I never minded being called "Mr. Joe," but I can see how it's a deliberate insult for Asians.
Regarding Abe Shinzo, what was up with that "assassination" (secluded retirement?) with the homemade gun? Did anyone believe that bullshit?
Japanese peasants believe that their dwarf Emperor is a primordial fish and that mandatory 'get-away-from-me masks' prevent the inhaling of 'foreigner's disease'. 🫣🇯🇵
It is psychological warfare. The Economist is the GloboHomo AngloZionist Mothership of the Imperial Press, and no "policy change" is coincidental. The Japanese are a broken people who draw manga and watch Netflix and do not procreate. I guess it is safe to give them back their sucker names for their poli-elites in exchange for favorable US conditions to vaxx all Japanese with Jewish Pfizer and sell all Japanese Jewish iPhones. Provoking a US proxy-war with China is a given. What else have the Japanese to live for but next iPhone 24+ Ultra!
It's a class war thing. If you make it in Japan, you might get the attention of the West. Then the personality gets a "westernized name". With that, the personality in Japan then walks through the media with head held high and an air of elitism - "Very nice! I'm not Murakami Haruki anymore, I'm Haruki Murakami! I'm part of the West now, a global elite, and therefore better than that common Japanese-san. The naming convention of the West breeds divisional struggles, social envy, and class hierarchy.
In Japan, it is traditional to write the surname first, followed by the given name. This practice is known as the "Japanese naming order" or the "Eastern naming order."
The origins of this naming order can be traced back to the ancient Chinese naming convention, which was adopted in Japan around the 6th century. At that time, Japanese people used a single name, just like in China. However, during the Heian period (794-1185), Japanese aristocrats began using two names to distinguish themselves from commoners. The two names consisted of a surname and a given name, with the surname being placed first. This practice became widespread among the Japanese nobility and eventually spread to the general population.
One reason for the persistence of the Japanese naming order is the importance placed on family and community in Japanese culture. By placing the surname first, it emphasizes the family or clan identity before the individual identity. Additionally, the Japanese language has a system of honorifics that are used to show respect and social hierarchy. Using the surname first allows for the proper use of honorifics when addressing or referring to someone, which is an important aspect of Japanese communication and social etiquette.
When the United States sacked Japan in the middle of the 20th Century, it rearranged all Japanese names to the Western naming order. Although the Japanese still use the Chinese naming order in their official documents, they accept the nee order when communicating with foreigners abroad.
Good point! Never thought about it!
