[THE MEIJI SHRINE in TOKYO] PERMANENT MEMBERS OF GLOBAL SECURITY FORUM
(Apocalyptique quatre grandes puissances)
You might wonder yesterday on viewing the EEE Reporter about how a bias current is provided with changes at one billion times per second.
A PC unit has a clock-signal generator that automatically oscillates like a quartz crystal and , in short, provides a bias current so oscillating to all the necessary semiconductor devices on a printed circuit board.

(Indeed, just like a man lives following the beat of the heart, a computer works following oscillation of the quartz crystal or other type of clock-signal generator. Any proud software engineers should start to learn true electronic engineering somewhere before they earn big money in office, say, in London, New York, or Tokyo.)
SECTION I: CHINA
Chinese President Mr. Hu Jintao landed on Japan yesterday and was welcomed by Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda.
The two leaders had a dinner meeting in a restaurant in the Hibiya Park where the Father of Modern China Sun Yat-sen, while fleeing from persecution by Qing-dynasty government around 1900, often visited and got funded by Japanese supporters, including the owner of the restaurant, in the amount of $20 billion in present-value.
“China suspended high-level contact with Japan from 2001 to 2006 during the premiership of Junichiro Koizumi, who made repeated visits to the Yasukuni war shrine, a place most Chinese believe glorifies militarism.”

It was the Empire of Japan who helped Chinese leaders take the helm toward modernization before WWII.
Japan was and has been a true stakeholder in mainland China all through WWII since the last days of the Empire of Qing.
And, do not misunderstand. It was Japan who taught contents of the Western Civilization to Chinese leaders 100 years ago.
SECTION II: RUSSIA
Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda recently flew to Moscow to have a talk with Russian President Mr. Vladimir Putin as part of preparation of G8 Summit.
It is time for Russia to realize that their attribution of the defeat in the Cold War should be directed to their failure in competing with Japan in terms of modern industries.
The Cold War in the late last century ended when elites, bureaucrats, and citizens of East Europe and the Soviet Union discovered that Japan alone could overwhelm them all in terms of science, technology, business, and economy in addition to the modern culture.
Russia should share with Japan the fate of East Siberia and the regions around the Sea of Okhotsk where abundant natural resources are waiting for mutual development, since Japan can only manage it peacefully and orderly leading Koreans and Chinese.
SECTION III: THE UNITED STATES
Liberal, former Japanese Ambassador Mr. Naoto Amaki pointed at a recent suspension of the meeting between the Japanese Defense Minister and the US Defense Secretary as a proof of disguised friendship and self-interest-seeking of the US Government.

As Japan cannot discuss the delay of transfer of a US Marines base in Okinawa and the U.S. cannot discuss the transfer of high-tech military technology to the Self Defense Forces of Japan, for a complicated reason each, as agendas, they have decided to suspend a scheduled meeting to be held in Washington D.C.
Meanwhile four US soldiers stationed in a US base near Hiroshima who violated a Japanese woman were recently taken to US military court in the US base there.
Also recently, as the ruling Liberal Democratic Party lost a by-election in an electorate near Hiroshima without pity despite so many efforts, the mood among Japanese voters has turned to be clearly a headwind to the Fukuda Administration.
If the Bush Administration ever wants to support the current Japanese Administration, they should stop requesting big money from Japan in exchange of the withdrawal of US Marines from Okinawa to Guam and announce it to Japanese voters before G8 Summit which is to be held in Japan this summer.
SECTION IV: JAPAN
Last night I dreamed an unexpected dream.
A Japanese female politician appeared in my dream.
She is not evil-minded, unlike some women who support an absolutism ideology or even join the Mafia.
But, Ms. Yuriko Koike, former female Defense Minister of Japan, has been in Germany to study European efforts on the War on CO2 with some Opposition-party elites.
A former TV news caster, who was elected as an Upper House Member of the Diet last year, recently married. Accordingly, she seems to have no problems, since her electorate is Tokyo.
And, of course, former Foreign Minister Ms. Makiko Tanaka, who yesterday also met with the Chinese President in Tokyo for a very special reason since her father once officially met with Mao Tse-tung in Beijing in early 1970’s, is older than I.
Yet, you had better sometimes check Home Pages or blogs maintained and operated by Japanese female lawmakers.
Will Mrs. Clinton be the first US President to run a President blog from the White House with her husband in charge?

This morning an FM radio station in Tokyo presented musical work of Arnold Schoenberg.
It was Verklärte Nacht Op. 4.
Indeed, a female shaman or priestess is sometimes expected to appear on a TV news program, though I have not watched CNN programs for a very long time as a Japanese cable TV provider changed a service scheme.
(It is a little hot today, as a weather prophet predicted in a late night TV program.
I will be busy today, since it will be a good shooting date in a field.
Or I have to tidy up my room since there accumulated may be dusts from the preceding century…)
1Ki 5:7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
1Ki 5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
1Ki 5:9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
1Ki 5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
1Ki 5:11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
1Ki 5:12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
