Conservatives rally against DPJ


By KAZUAKI NAGATA

Staff writer

A group of conservatives rallied Saturday in central Tokyo to protest the policies of the Democratic Party of Japan-led government, deriding what they called its weak diplomatic stance and its push toward joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade agreement.

According to the organizer, about 1,900 people joined the event, which featured a march from the Otemachi district to the Ginza and Hibiya areas, calling on the DPJ to step down from power.

Their criticism ranged from foreign policy, especially the DPJ's handling of the clash with China over the Senkaku Islands and Prime Minister Naoto Kan's push to join the TPP, to the party's failure to follow through on all its campaign promises in the last election.

The event was hosted by Ganbare Nippon Zenkoku Kodo Iinkai, which is chaired by former Air Self-Defense Force chief Toshio Tamogami. It drew several lawmakers, including Takeo Hiranuma, leader of Tachiagare Nippon (Sun Rise Party of Japan), as well as a range of people from the young to the elderly who share discontent with the DPJ.

"The way the DPJ runs the government is terrible," said Yutaka Hoshino, who came from Kawasaki for the protest, adding he doesn't think the DPJ is tough enough on China and South Korea.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Discusses North Korean Issues

 

Working through regional and international forums puts our alliance in the best position to confront some of Asia’s toughest security challenges.  As we have been reminded once again in recent weeks, none has proved to be more vexing and enduring than North Korea.  Despite the hopes and best efforts of the South Korean government, the U.S. and our allies, and the international community, the character and priorities of the North Korean regime sadly have not changed.  North Korea’s ability to launch another conventional ground invasion is much degraded from even a decade or so ago, but in other respects it has grown more lethal and destabilizing.  Today, it is North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and proliferation of nuclear know-how and ballistic missile equipment that have focused our attention – developments that threaten not just the peninsula, but the Pacific Rim and international stability as well. 

In response to a series of provocations – the most recent being the sinking of the Cheonan and North Korea’s lethal shelling of a South Korean island – Japan has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Republic of Korea and the United States.  Our three countries continue to deepen our ties through the Defense Trilateral Talks – the kind of multilateral engagement among America’s long-standing allies that the U.S. would like to see strengthened and expanded over time. 

When and if North Korea’s behavior gives us any reasons to believe that negotiations can be conducted productively and in good faith, we will work with Japan, South Korea, Russia, and China to resume engagement with North Korea through the six party talks.  The first step in the process should be a North-South engagement.  But, to be clear, the North must also take concrete steps to honor its international obligations and comply with U.N. Security Council Resolutions. 

Any progress towards diffusing the crisis on the Korean Peninsula must include the active support of the People’s Republic of China – where, as you probably know, I just finished an official visit.   China has been another important player whose economic growth has fueled the prosperity of this part of the world, but questions about its intentions and opaque military modernization program have been a source of concern to its neighbors. 

U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Emphasizes the Importance of Dialogue with China

Any progress towards diffusing the crisis on the Korean Peninsula must include the active support of the People’s Republic of China – where, as you probably know, I just finished an official visit.   China has been another important player whose economic growth has fueled the prosperity of this part of the world, but questions about its intentions and opaque military modernization program have been a source of concern to its neighbors. 

Questions about China’s growing role in the region manifest themselves in territorial disputes – most recently in the incident in September near the Senkaku Islands, an incident that served as a reminder of the important of America’s and Japan’s treaty obligations to one another.  The U.S. position on maritime security remains clear: we have a national interest in freedom of navigation; in unimpeded economic development and commerce; and in respect for international law.  We also believe that customary international law, as reflected in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, provides clear guidance on the appropriate use of the maritime domain, and rights of access to it.

Nonetheless, I disagree with those who portray China as an inevitable strategic adversary of the United States.  We welcome a China that plays a constructive role on the world stage.  In fact, the goal of my visit was to improve our military-to-military relationship and outline areas of common interest.  It is precisely because we have questions about China’s military – just as they might have similar questions about the United States – that I believe a healthy dialogue is needed.

Last fall, President Obama and President Hu Jin Tao made a commitment to advance sustained and reliable defense ties, not a relationship repeatedly interrupted by and subject to the vagaries of political weather.  On a personal note, one of the things I learned from my experience dealing with the Soviet Union during my earlier time in government was the importance of maintaining a strategic dialogue and open lines of communication.  Even if specific agreements did not result – on nuclear weapons or anything else – this dialogue helped us understand each other better and lessen the odds of misunderstanding and miscalculation.  The Cold War is mercifully long over and the circumstances with China today are vastly different – but the importance of maintaining dialogue is as important today.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Discusses North Korean Issues

 

U.S.-Japan ties should deepen, Gates says, citing threats from China, N. Korea

TOKYO - Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates on Friday invoked threats from North Korea and China's modernizing military as reasons to strengthen the U.S. alliance with Japan and to keep U.S. forces strong in the Pacific.

Speaking at Keio University, Gates also said he was worried about a "disconnect" between China's civilian and military leadership. While he was in Beijing earlier this week, the country's military conducted the first flight test of its new stealth fighter jet on the same day as Gates met with President Hu Jintao. Hu told Gates that he didn't know the test had taken place.

"On the whole, I think this is something of a worry," Gates said, citing a Chinese anti-satellite test in 2007 and the menacing of a U.S. Navy surveillance ship in 2009 as other examples. Still, Gates added, "in the larger sense of who controls the Chinese military and who is the ultimate authority, there is no doubt in my mind that it is President Hu Jintao and the civilian leadership of that country."

Gates reiterated a proposal for a dialogue that would, for the first time, group China's military and civilian leaders with their U.S. counterparts as a way to help Beijing bridge its gaps. Hu is coming to Washington next week for his second and last summit with President Obama.

In pointed comments directed to both Pyongyang and Beijing, Gates also told an audience of students that, without a strong U.S. military presence in Japan, North Korea's military could be even more "outrageous" and "China might behave more assertively towards its neighbors."

Gates also said he would like to see Japan's security forces take on a wider role in the region and pushed Japan and South Korea's military to work more closely together to deal with North Korea's provocations.

In an interview Thursday, Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa committed Japan to work in unprecedented ways with the U.S. military - such as providing logistical support for a potential war on the Korean Peninsula or undertaking evacuations of civilians there.

"The basic principle of Japan is to pursue peace," Kitazawa said. "But we also need to have measures to avoid being left behind."

Gates is on the last day of a five-day trip to Asia that has focused on coming up with a strategy to deal with a nuclear-armed and increasingly erratic North Korea and also reestablishing high-level military talks with China. He spent three days in Beijing, two in Tokyo and was set Friday to hold several hours of meetings in Seoul before heading back to the United States.

In Beijing, Gates's message was that the United States wanted better ties with the People's Liberation Army in order to avoid the miscalculations that can often lead to war. Gates also aimed at convincing China to do more to rein in North Korea, which in the past year has been blamed in two attacks on the South that killed 50 people.

He put the Chinese on notice that North Korea would, within five years, become a "direct threat" to the interests of the United States as it develops nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In his speech Friday, Gates noted that Chinese technological advances in cyber- and anti-satellite warfare posed a "potential challenge to the ability of our forces to operate and communicate in this part of the Pacific." He drew a parallel between China and the Soviet Union - saying that during the Cold War, the talks between Washington and Moscow were important in ensuring peace.

Then Gates, as he has in the past, followed immediately by saying that "the Cold War is mercifully long over and the circumstances with China today are vastly different." Still, his persistent framing of Washington's ties with Beijing within the context of the Cold War underscore the complex nature of U.S. relations with China.

Gates also put Beijing on notice that the United States completely rejected China's view that it can claim an exclusive economic zone stretching 200 miles from its coast. Beijing contends that U.S. naval vessels should not be allowed to conduct operations there.

"One area where it's impossible to compromise" with China, Gates said, "is the freedom of navigation, the freedom of the global commons for commerce, trade, for shipping."

Boosting Japan, U.S. cooperation

 In their Washington meeting last Thursday, Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to establish new common strategic goals for the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world.

The agreement represents the two nations' determination to deepen their relations because the ties have faced difficulties over the issue of the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa Island and because the security situation in the region is deteriorating due to China's military buildup and North Korea's provocative actions.

Mr. Maehara and Ms. Clinton agreed that the six-party talks on North Korea's denuclearization and bilateral talks between Washington and Pyongyang can resume only if the North stops its provocative actions and takes concrete steps to abandon its nuclear program. The North should take this call seriously and act accordingly. The two also agreed that China should play a constructive role as a responsible member of the international community. Given China's military buildup, increased naval activities in the region and failure to use its political and economic leverage against Pyongyang to resolve the nuclear standoff, it is logical that Japan and the U.S. should strengthen their political and security cooperation.

But because the tension in the region is high, it is all the more important for both Japan and the U.S. to have close, multi-level communications with China to prevent crises. They should pursue a wise and coolheaded approach to China so that the type of confrontation as prevailed during the Cold War era will not re-emerge. Ms. Clinton said that the cooperation between the U.S. and Japan should cover the "full range of global and strategic issues, from nuclear proliferation to maritime security, and from global economic recovery and growth to energy security and climate change." Japan should carefully weigh what it can do to enhance both its national interests and the global well-being in accordance with its pacifist constitutional principles.



新年明けましておめでとうございます

昨年からひょんなことから株を始めました。

きっかけは、現役トレーダー二階堂重人氏の本でした。

パソコン上で株の取引が出来るとは、非常に魅力的だなと思い、証券会社で口座を開設し、株の売買を始めました。

小額の資金ですが、やはり自分のお金で実際の取引をすると、この世界、そんなに簡単に儲けることはできない、ということが、身にしみてわかります(苦笑)。

マーケットで株の売買をすることを、「参戦する」という言葉を使いますが、実際に取引をしてみると、この言葉の意味が体感できますね(笑)。

個人投資家で儲かっている人は、一割だと言われています。

そんな世界になぜ入っていくのか、と言われますが、自分も一割の勝ち組になりたい、という意志でしょうか。そして、やはり、経済的自由を得たい、ということでしょうね。経済的自由を得ることによるメリットは無限大でしょう。

二階堂氏はこんなことを書いている。

「人ひとりに与えられた時間はかぎられています。ですから、一秒でも貴重だといえます。むしろ、お金よりも時間のほうが大切でしょう。
 しかし、デイトレードは、それくらい貴重なものを賭けてでもやるに値するほど、リターンが大きいものであり、人生を大きく変えるものなのです。
 デイトレードで億というお金を稼ぐことは大変なこと。それを実現するのは、ごく一握りの人だけでしょう。
 しかし、儲けられるトレード・ルールができてしまえば、お金は意外と簡単に増えていくものなのです。」

トレードで19年間で資産を五十倍にした人の言葉だけに、重みがあります(笑)。
そうなのか、勝ち方のパターンさえ身に着ければ、資産は案外簡単に増えていくんだな、じゃあ、何はともあれ、負けないトレードを身につけ、マーケットから退場させられないように、研鑽を積んでいこう、という気持ちになっています。

私が今、後悔していることといえば、この世界に入るのが、ちょっと遅かったかな、ということです。まあ、しかし、これも、自分のカルマだな、と諦めるしかないですね(笑)。でも、この世界の魅力(魔力?)を知らずに現世を去っていくことにくらべたら、少しはましかな(笑)。

 ところで、去年の株式投機(マネーゲーム)で一番儲けたのはネットイヤーグループでした。

「中国法人セールス・インチャイナ株式会社と業務提携」という愛アールが好材料となり、

二日連続ストップ高となり、なかなか美味しい思いをしました。

でも、大きな損失をこうむることもあり、トータルでみると、とんとん、といったところですね。

それにしても今話題のクラウド関連の銘柄であるシナジーマーケッティングという銘柄の上昇ぶりは凄いですね。

http://stocks.finance.yahoo.co.jp/stocks/chart/?code=3859.Q&ct=z&t=6m&q=c&l=off&z=m&p=m65,m130,s&a=v

この銘柄に初動から乗れた人は、莫大な利益を手にしたことでしょう。

ともかく、株で資産を拡大していくコツはこいう爆上げ銘柄を見つけ出すことにつきますね。
