Australian iron ore supplier embraces Chinese market with yuan settlement

Australian iron ore conglomerate BHP hailed on Sunday its first shipment of yuan-based spot trade iron ore to dock at a port in East China's Shandong Province, as Australian companies step up efforts to maintain businesses in the Chinese market amid tense bilateral relations due to Australia's hostile approach toward China.

The vessel Vittoria loaded with iron ore from a mine in Western Australia arrived at Rizhao port, China's major iron ore trading port, on Sunday, two-weeks after departing Port Hedland, according to a BHP statement on Sunday.

The police will probably be knocking on their doors soon lol

In the Japanese elections, LDP got enough seats to change the Japanese constitution. Article 9 can be abolished now. Has little practical meaning though. China, wisely, always assumed that Article 9 would never prevent the USA from pulling Japan into a war. And Japan's financials means Japan can not spend above 2% of its GDP even if it wanted.

Though I still find it interesting from a symbolic perspective. German re-armament, possible abolishment of article 9 of the Japenese constitution, a war in Europe, US efforts to discredit the UN... Post-WW2 order is evaporating before our eyes.

So, who knows Japanese?
This website seems to be a list of constitutional amendments and potential dangers cited by the opposition.

So I can only paraphrase the Chinese content.
Some people think the most important are the article 9, 97, 98 and 99.I will try to translate some of the content that I think is important. If there are those who are better at Japanese, please provide more objective content.
Article 9,"the government's determination not to wage war" is deleted.
Article 20, the words "religious groups shall not enjoy state privileges and exercise political rights" are changed to "shall not enjoy state privileges", allowing religious groups to exercise political rights.
Article 47, the voting method of election and each elected member is changed from administrative division to population division, and the "difference of one vote" is constitutional.
Article 56, the restriction of "voting is invalid when the number of people present does not exceed 1/3" was deleted.
Article 66, the prime minister and the Minister of state of the cabinet must be civil servants instead of active servicemen, that is, veterans can serve as prime ministers and ministers of state.
Paragraph 2 of Article 83, the constitution formally stipulates to maintain permanent deflation.
Article 96 after voting on the proposal, more than 2/3 of the votes agree that the proposal is passed, and more than half of the votes agree that the proposal is passed.
Article 97, "the Constitution guarantees the basic human rights of the Japanese people" is deleted in its entirety.
Article 98: the prime minister can declare a state of emergency directly at the cabinet meeting. When declaring a state of emergency, the decree issued by the cabinet has the same effect as the existing laws. Anyone must accept the instructions of the state or other public institutions in relevant situations.
Article 99: the emperor, that is, state public officials, has the obligation to respect and defend the constitution. All citizens have the obligation to respect and defend the constitution. The emperor's power officially exceeds the constitution.


Although it is only a draft, it is far more radical than we thought,maybe we will soon hear "tenouheika, banzai".

Drew Pavlou was handing out these to people at the event. You can see more photos of other Wimbledon attendees wearing the Where's Peng Shuai T-shirt. If it were only three douches, I wouldn't have posted it. Lol.

Here you go, non-newsworthy?:
