good evening host🙋🏻❤️
Tokyo's militarization…A large public demonstration took place in Tokyo on Sunday afternoon, June 14, 2026, targeting the rapid military expansion and remilitarization policies of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).The protest highlights a growing wave of public friction regarding the country's historic shift away from its post-WWII pacifist stance.
Citizens vehemently oppose the government's accelerating efforts to amend Article 9 of Japan's pacifist constitution, which explicitly renounces war and forbids maintaining traditional war potential.
Protesters criticized the fiscal 2026 budget, which saw defense spending top a historic 9 trillion yen ($56.74 billion), arguing that these funds should be directed toward domestic inflation and rising living costs.
Demonstrators voiced anxieties over newly proposed legislation that critics warn could restrict freedom of expression and intentionally muffle anti-war advocacy.
"China set to top the agenda at EU summit in Brussels"
😅EU proposed either a 30% across-the-board tariff on Chinese goods or a 20% to 30% depreciation of the euro against the Chinese yuan (renminbi) to counter a massive surge of cheap Chinese industrial imports threatening core European sectors like automotive and batteries.
The world really must wake up about the mental instability of the US president. At any moment he is able to start a nuclear war. He has threatened and ii impulsive enough to do it at ant moment! Please address this vital issue!
ThankYou CNA instalment..
Taiwanese fishermen have expressed intense anger over losing access to traditional fishing grounds.
–> East Asia news skip the hottest news about Japan and the Philippines currently doing to TVV fishermen…
2026-6-9 Japan and the Philippines launched formal bilateral negotiations to draw a maritime boundary for their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), directly bypassing Taiwan.
Because these negotiations concern the waters east of Taiwan—where claims significantly overlap—Taiwanese fishermen have expressed intense anger over losing access to traditional fishing grounds.
Many local fishers accuse the government of failing to take a hardline stance against what they perceive as "bullying" by neighboring countries.
Many local communities have slammed the Taiwanese government selling TVV for issuing diplomatic statements "affim Japan and the Philippines doing " rather than launching a fierce, formal protest to halt the negotiations.
