「個人の解釈」を「法」と同列に置くという、法治国家にあるまじき思考のサンプルを提示していただき、感謝します。 おかげで、日本社会に根を張る「主観的なマナーという名の暴力」が、いかにして差別や排斥の正当化に使われているかを、多くの人に分かりやすく分析・共有することができました。 自分の無知を「思想の自由」にすり替えるその姿勢、非常に勉強になる「反面教師」でしたよ。

@Konekoutena 为啥会欠这么多债?

Honda’s CEO warned after visiting China: “We have no chance against this,” referring to China’s ultra-fast, low-cost auto supply chain. Other leaders are also alarmed: Ford’s CEO warned China could “put us all out of business,” and Toyota said, “Unless things change, we will not survive.” Source: Motor1

これがタイのバンコクです。 日本から来た友人は必ず「想像と違う」と驚きます。 高層ビル、渋滞、屋台、モール。 そして人の欲望までが、むき出しのまま共存している都市です。

During an interview this morning ABC News, President Donald J. Trump appeared to endorse a condition by Iran in last night’s ceasefire that allows them to charge tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that the fees may by a “joint venture” between Iran and the United States. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it - also securing it from lots of other people. It’s a beautiful thing.”



JUST IN: Japan’s Prime Minister just called Iran’s President. Twenty-five minutes. The first top-level contact between Tokyo and Tehran since the war began. And every word Takaichi chose was a weapon disguised as diplomacy. She called the Strait of Hormuz a vital artery for global logistics and an international public good. That phrase, international public good, is the most precisely calibrated language any leader has used since the ceasefire was announced. It is a direct legal rejection of Iran’s toll system without naming it. Under international law, a public good cannot be privatised. A public good cannot charge admission. A public good cannot require a secret code from an IRGC intermediary, a yuan payment to a military contractor, and an armed escort through territorial waters near Larak Island. Takaichi did not say this by accident. Japan imports 94.2 percent of its crude oil from Arab nations, nearly all of it transiting Hormuz. In February 2026, Japan imported 74.13 million barrels of crude. The effective closure of Hormuz forced Tokyo to release 80 million barrels from its national strategic reserves, enough to cover 45 days of domestic demand. The Nikkei has fallen 11 percent since the war began. The yen weakened to 20-month lows. The Bank of Japan warned of oil-driven inflation and markets are pricing a 70 percent chance of a rate hike this month. Japan’s entire economic stability is tethered to a 34-kilometre channel that an IRGC military council now controls through a toll booth it legislated on March 31. Takaichi’s call adds Japan to the coalition that is forming against the toll precedent. Oman’s transport minister told parliament today that international agreements prohibit Hormuz fees. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain called the tolls unacceptable. Trump offered to help with the traffic buildup. And now Japan, the world’s fourth-largest economy, has formally defined the strait as an international public good on a direct call with the Iranian president, creating a diplomatic record that can be cited at Islamabad on Friday and at every international forum thereafter. But Takaichi also spoke to Pezeshkian, not to the IRGC military council that actually runs the toll booth. Pezeshkian is the civilian president of a regime where the civilian president does not control the military, the intelligence apparatus, the provincial commands, or the strait. Takaichi’s statement will be filed in Tokyo. The IRGC’s clearance codes will still be issued at Larak. The gap between what diplomats say and what military operators do is the gap the ceasefire was built on, and it is the gap that will determine whether the toll precedent becomes permanent. Japan released 80 million barrels of reserves because it could not access the strait. It will now pay tolls to access the strait, or reroute around the Cape of Good Hope at $5 per barrel in additional shipping costs, or rely on US naval escorts that Trump described as “hangin’ around” to make sure everything goes well. None of these options restore the status quo ante. The strait that was free before the war is now either tolled, militarised, or both, and Japan’s 94 percent dependence means it absorbs the cost regardless of which option it chooses. The Strait of Hormuz was an international public good. It is now a contested chokepoint. And the distance between those two descriptions is measured in yuan. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
