The Europeans were just shittesting the Asians and translated all Asian ideas into European ones. To see how the Asians would react. The Asians are nice people, so they didn‘t react at all but let is all happen. That was a mistake. Nice people are doormats. Nice people get nothing in life. Nice people lose everything.
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?
When Abe was gunned down "Mad-Max style" by a Japanese lone wolf warrior, they told us in NHK news for hours that he was alive and in hospital. Meanwhile, I watched Taiwan news which clearly showed him dead. When they claimed the killer was a religious fanatic, whole of Japan thought it was "the Cult." Abe was Shinto, so they couldn't say it was Shinto, which is the Government. "The Cult" is pro-China, anti-Western, and the only oppositional party. But finally, they blamed this crazy Korean Cult from Seoul. I can live with that crazy story. Not so many arrests, and no Western-style "war against one's own people." The Economist changed "Shinzo Abe" to "Abe Shinzo" after his death. I know they abused Japanese names on purpose, because they all do. It is a running gag of an insult. Always cracks everyone up at the FCCJ or at the embassies and in academia, haha. Japan petitioned since 1950 for its correct names. Can't have that. 🇯🇵😂
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 is the worst in Japan that is has ever been. If there is no national leader or great anti-US occupation uprising, then I fear the total McDonaldinazation of this pushover nation. All is American now, thanks in no small part to Ape Abe.
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.
Murakami is a bad writer, even in Japanese. That makes him good national reading. The best writer in Japanese history is probably Google translate, anyway. Brutal, but true.
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.
It seems that Japan wants to get away from its 'Chinese origins'. As if "being associated with anything Chinese" drags them down and devalues everything they try to build. It's quite pathological. Once you've seen this, it expands and takes over your mind: "The Chinese part in us needs to die..."

Asian demands dismissed.
Good point! Never thought about it!

Yess! Finally someone says that Murakami is a bad writer! Thank you!
Unreadable, yes. He has a damn good marketing department though. Japan is team effort.
