Japan-US agreement makes allies shudder, but Ishiba Ko is thinking: should I drink Maotai or sake to celebrate?
Ishiba Ko's experienced high school student, Takahashi Sanae, can't learn from him! Yesterday, when Takahashi signed the Japan-US trade agreement, she immediately understood why Ishiba smiled and resigned, because he didn't want to become a historical criminal. Ishiba had anticipated that the agreement would be a big loss for Japan, refused to make concessions during his term, avoided signing by resigning, and even showed disdain for the old man when meeting with Trump!
The Japan-US agreement shows that Japan will invest about $55 billion in the US, involving 21 strategic projects including energy, artificial intelligence, and advanced materials. SoftBank Group, Toshiba Company, and others are involved, and the entire process is dominated by the US, which holds the final decision-making power. In terms of profit distribution, after recovering the investment, the US takes nine-tenths, a rare unequal treaty!
Takahashi Sanae's political views align with Trump's tough stance. She took on the heavy responsibility to prove her pro-American stance. She will gain short-term recognition from the US and receive special care from Trump, but she will bear the historical infamy. Japan has upgraded from security dependence to capital dependence. This signature is not a diplomatic highlight, but a footnote to an era where she exchanges capital for survival!
