Okla :) ..... I'm of two minds .... the song only states the obvious, after all :) but, China, the nation, appreciates strong leadership because, only with such leadership, can China avoid chaos and fragmentation. Your PM has proven a strong steady hand on the democratic tiller of Japan, through turbulence and threats. Anyone in China who is educated to the least degree will appreciate Abe. The Chinese love characterizing political leaders, our PM is their 'Little Potato' .. gets to the heart of the matter real quick., don't ya think? Canadians were told it was a term of 'endearment', but we know better. ;)

.. my other 'mind' says that this song is a parody :)

A typhoon hits not only Japan but Korea, China and Russia.
Japanese/Korean/Chinese media report damage in Japan/Korea/China to compare but Russia.
Russia is always forgotten by us and I did not know how serious the damage was in Russia too until today.
This is a discovery for me.

Nothing specially good news here since the corona outbreak but a few....


Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft successfully released a small capsule on Saturday and sent it toward Earth to deliver samples from a distant asteroid that could provide clues to the origin of the solar system and life on our planet, the country's space agency said.

The capsule successfully detached from 220,000 kilometers away in a challenging operation that required precision control, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said. The capsule--just 40 centimeters in diameter--is now descending and is expected to land Sunday in a remote, sparsely populated area of Woomera, Australia......

.....For Hayabusa2, it's not the end of the mission it started in 2014. It is now heading to a small asteroid called 1998KY26 on a journey slated to take 10 years one way, for possible research including finding ways to prevent meteorites from hitting Earth.
