Strange...
 
Tsai may be calling back Kishida in Lithuania or warning to Okinawa Governor Tamaki but the incident this time should be understood as her message to Japan or China or both.

2022 was the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China but the celebration events were cancelled due to Covid. Japan-China exchange program resumes after 4-year hiatus.

 
The founder of Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa (1899-1995), was Class A war criminal suspect like Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi (1896-1987). PM Kishida's grandfather, Masaki Kishida (1895-1961), was one of their friends in Manchuria. He was purged from public service with his friends by GHQ till 1951 (or 1952). Needless to say, LDP is a party of traditional Japanese nationalists. This is the basic background to understand Japanese politics.
 

Why are we trying to start a political debate?
 
It was not intended as political. Just informative. Lots of other countries will find the report just as depressing as I do as an Australian. The opening comment is because Americans, like so many other nationalities, consider themselves as the best in everything but are more vocal about it - especially the Texans.
 

Come on now, the entire thing would lead to a political debate. Everything in your post is a hot political topic and debate in the United States (which I am sure you are 100% aware of). Healthcare is one of the biggest political debates in the country. You even bring up the subject of "Governance" and define it. And then you call out Americans, which you know will entice a response from them. Its inviting them to political debate.
