1 /23 1.3 Japan wary over Philippine leader's policies, manners

(3.37/4)

Japanese officials are waryahead of the arrival of outspokenPhilippine President RodrigoDuterte. It's not just his foreignpolicy toward the U. S., but alsohis informal style: Will he chewgum in front of the emperor?

Duterte arrives in Tokyo laterTuesday for a three-day visit, hisfirst as Philippine leader.

For diplomats and politicalleaders, the main issue isDuterte's foreign policy towardWashington and how Japan can help mend those ties.

Tokyo is a major ally of the United States, and has watched as Duterte increasingly attacked theU. S. and said he would scale back America's military engagement with his country. And he hasworried Japan and the United States by reaching out to China.

Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida acknowledged Duterte's remarks have triggeredconcern, and told reporters he planned to ask what his real intentions were when the two havedinner Tuesday. He said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will do the same on Wednesday.

"I think it would be important that we fully communicate through these occasions and directlyhear opinions from President Duterte himself," Kishida said.

Those worries about Duterte were evident Tuesday when he lashed out again at the U. S. in adeparture speech at the Manila international airport, calling Americans "foolish" and "silly" andsaying their land was stricken with "pure bigotry and discrimination" after a top Americandiplomat for Asia, Daniel Russel, criticized his controversial remarks and unclear intentions.

Duterte also made a veiled threat to revoke a 2014 defense pact allowing large numbers of U. S.troops to enter the Philippines for combat drills.

"These Americans are really foolish," said Duterte, adding Americans travel to the Philippines"like somebody, without visas, these sillies. "

Referring to the pact that allows American forces, warships and planes to visit the Philippines,Duterte said, "forget it," adding that in the future "I do not want to see any military man of anyother nation except the Philippine soldier. "

But in a country where formality and politeness are highly valued, others in Japan are worried

about the rough side of Duterte's manners. They are particularly concerned about his meetingwith Emperor Akihito on Friday.

Japanese TV shows have repeatedly shown Duterte apparently chewing gum — at meetings,shaking hands and at other public occasions. In footage of a meeting with Chinese President XiJinping, Duterte wore a business suit instead of a formal Philippine "Barong" shirt. He walked inwith his hands in his pockets and chewed gum during the hand shake and a signing ceremony.

Duterte doesn't usually button up the top of his shirt, often wears slacks or jeans and has beenseen without socks.

"When (Duterte) will make a courtesy visit to the Emperor, his behavior during the event couldhave a major impact. I trust he understands the consequences and he would not do such a thing(as chewing gum), but I do hope the Philippine side to remind him of that particular point,"Itsunori Onodera, a senior lawmaker in the conservative ruling Liberal Democratic Party, told aSunday talk show on Fuji TV.

In Japan, where the Emperor was considered a living god until the end of World War II, peopleare expected to be extra polite in front of him and his family.

"It's unbelievable. I have never seen anything like that! " said Kunihiko Miyake, a former diplomatand political analyst. "How could he dare to behave in ways that could cause his host to loseface. " Miyake, however, said Duterte might have done so intentionally perhaps because he wasunhappy about compromising on the South China Sea issue.

While serving as a mediator between the two allies, Japan's main contribution to Manila is likelyto be two large Coast Guard patrol boats — in addition to an earlier pledge of 10 smaller ones— and TC-90 military training aircraft to help boost the Philippine's maritime security in theSouth China Sea.

3 /23 1.6 What businessmen expect from Duterte’s Japan trip

(2.15/4)

Japanese and Filipino businessmen are hopeful that Pres. RodrigoDuterte’s visit to Japan, a key ally of the United States, would bring goodtidings to both countries sans the “bombastic” rhetoric that resonated fromthe president’s visit to China last week.

“First of all, I think some Japanese people are really worried about whatPres. Duterte mentioned in China because Japan is actually allied with the United States andwe do believe that Japanese people like Philippines. Half of the Japanese are worried, half arewaiting for what he is going to say,” said Japanese expat Koichi Katakawa, president of newlylaunched online stock brokerage house BDO Nomura Securities Inc.

During his state visit to China last week, Pres. Duterte escalated his anti-US rhetoric,culminating in his announcement of “separation” from the US, both in military and economicaspects. He toned down his rhetoric as soon as he landed on Philippine soil, saying it’s not tothe best interest of the Philippines to sever ties with the US and that he would only want to

pursue a more independent foreign policy.

Katakawa said Japanese media were all abuzz with Pres. Duterte’s visit, which he said was agood thing.

“Japanese people are really looking forward to the dialogue that Pres Duterte is going to do inJapan,” he said.

“I don’t think he will announce any separation from Japan,” said BDO Capital & Investment Corp.president Eduardo Francisco. “We’re hopeful that there will be nothing bombastic anyway.”

The Philippine team is not expected to bring home as much as the $24 billion investment andconcessional financing deals brought home from China.

“In fairness to Japan, they’ve always been very aggressive on the Philippines. They’ve beencontinuing to support the PPP (Public Private Partnership) Center through grants and studies,”Francisco said, adding the numerous railway and traffic management projects funded by JICA,Japan’s official development assistance (ODA) arm.

Francisco said he had seen Japan working “quietly behind the scenes” for the last six to sevenyears that he had been focused on the infrastructure industry.

“I won’t be surprised that they will have a big role to play if during the studies they are involvedalready,” he said.

Neighboring countries like Japan have been very supportive of the country’s growth, Franciscosaid. As such, he said he did not see any big shift in such relations with Japan.

Japan has been the country’s biggest ODA partner since the 1970s, BDO Securities researchhead Dante Tinga Jr. said.

There are at least 200 businessmen expected to join the Philippine delegation to Japan.

4 /23 0.0 Japan faces ballooning bill to deal with Fukushima

meltdowns (1.02/4)

Japan's bill for dismantling the Fukushima nuclear plant is ballooning far beyond the utility'sestimate of 2 trillion yen ($19 billion).

A government study released Tuesday found decommissioning the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant

already has cost 80 billionyen ($770 million) over thelast three years.

The plant suffered multiplereactor meltdowns due todamage from the March2011 earthquake andtsunami.

The ministry overseeingnuclear power said thedecommissioning costs will

continue at several hundreds of billions of yen (billions of dollars) a year.

Tokyo Electric Power Co., the utility that operated and is now decommissioning Fukushima Dai-ichi, has said decommissioning will take several decades.

Even if it were to take 30 years at an estimated annual cost at 300 billion yen ($3 billion), bothconservative projections, the cost would be nearly 1 billion yen or $100 billion.

Japan has been struggling to clean up parts of the no-go zone to put the worst nuclearcatastrophe since Chernobyl behind it.

The government has estimated that decontaminating the areas around the Fukushima plant,including removing radiated topsoil, buildings and trees, will cost at least 2.5 trillion yen ($24billion).

But experts have been warning that such estimates may be too optimistic. The nuclear disasterin Fukushima displaced about 150,000 people.

5 /23 3.3 Nissan-Renault says open to partnerships to develop

new car technologies (1.02/4)

YOKOHAMA, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co Ltd and Renault SA are open to partnershipswith other companies to equip their vehicles with sophisticatedtechnology as automakers race to develop the cars of the future, the pair'sconnected vehicles chief said. Global automakers are competing withindustry rivals and technology firms to develop self-driving cars andmobility services such as car sharing as the growing use of technologyand artificial intelligence may eventually diminish the role of drivers, threatening the traditionalmodel of car ownership. As software used in cars becomes more sophisticated and costly, therewill be benefits of partnerships - including with rivals - to develop standardised technology suchas mapping services, said Ogi Redzic, who heads the Nissan-Renault alliances' ConnectedVehicles and Mobility Services division. "We are in the spirit of collaboration," Redzic, whojoined the alliance earlier this year after working for companies including Nokia and Motorola,told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday. "There are some other companies which would like tobuild everything in-house, but... we are willing to partner when it makes sense. " Nissan andRenault are developing a technology platform that will enable alliance vehicles, including thosemade by newest member Mitsubishi Motors Corp, to access cloud-based services includinginfotainment, car maintenance and remote control operation. The automakers have beenincreasing investment in that area, announcing a partnership last month with Microsoft Corp todevelop connected car functions powered by Microsoft's Azure cloud storage service. The pairhave also acquired French software developer Sylpheo. Automakers have been scrambling topartner with tech firms to mitigate the risk that self-driving cars and car sharing will trim demandfor car ownership decades down the line. This year has seen a handful of automakerspartnering car sharing service providers, including General Motors Co and Lyft Inc, Toyota MotorCorp and Uber Technologies Inc, and Volkswagen AG and Israel's Gett. Redzic declined tocomment on the alliance's strategy for car sharing. Renault has a partnership with Bollore, underwhich it produces electric vehicles for the French car-sharing service and supplies ultra-compactcars. Renault also supplies its ultra-compact Twizy to rental companies. Redzic said the alliancewas open to offering more vehicles to car service providers, noting that fleet sales were "a veryhealthy part of our business". "I don't know if we would say 'No' to someone who wants tooperate a service using a subset of our vehicles," he said. "The question is whether we aregoing to operate a service on our own or if we're going to work with a partner," he said.(Reporting by Naomi Tajitsu; Editing by Christopher Cushing)

6 /23 2.2 Whaling nations block South Atlantic sanctuary plans

(1.02/4)

Japan and other pro-whaling nations have defeated a proposal to create an sanctuary forwhales in the South Atlantic.

The push to create theprotected area during abiennial meeting of theInternational WhalingCommission (IWC) wasdefeated after 38 countriesvoted yes and 24 against,as proposals at theconference require 75% ofvotes to pass. Twoabstained.

Although the proposal hasbeen defeated in previous years and was expected to fail this time around too because ofopposition by Japan, Norway and Iceland, conservation groups were dismayed by the result.

“There is an urgent need for us to better protect our whales, dolphins and porpoises. Thissanctuary would have done just that and supported the growth of sustainable whale watchingtourism and fostered much-needed research,” said Josh Coates, marine campaigner with theAustralian Marine Conservation Society.

“Once again whaling nations have stood in the way of progress, despite the IWC’s own scientificcommittee approving the plan for the sanctuary.”

Greenpeace noted that the sanctuary was being blocked by countries far from the the SouthAtlantic aligning themselves with the whaling nations.

John Frizell, a whales expert with the group, said: “What is the most disappointing is that allthese efforts are ultimately being undermined by IWC member countries who are thousands ofmiles away, not even in the southern hemisphere and some even on the other side of the world.Conversely, all members with territory in the proposed sanctuary, fully support it.”

Matt Collis of the International Fund for Animal Welfare said: “It is very disappointing that onceagain, a proposal for a South Atlantic whale sanctuary has been harpooned.”

Also on the agenda at the IWC meeting in Slovenia is a resolution put forward by Australia thatwould require Japan to get approval from the IWC for its “scientific” quotas. That move is alsoexpected to be blocked.

7 /23 2.5 BOJ official says new policy is not firm target for yields

- Nikkei (1.01/4)

TOKYO, Oct 25 (Reuters) - TheBank of Japan's new policy oftargeting interest rates and theslope of the yield curve is notan attempt to peg yields at afixed rate, the head of thecentral bank's financialmarkets division said onTuesday in an interview withNikkei news. The BOJ isprepared to allow yields tofluctuate within a range, butthat range is not a firm target,Seiichi Shimizu said,according to Nikkei. Instead, the BOJ will look at the speed, direction and volatility of moves inyields when deciding the amount of bonds to buy in its market operations. "We are not trying topinpoint a specific level," Shimizu said, according to Nikkei. "We expect rates to rise and fall dueto market forces. " The BOJ last month switched its policy target to interest rates from expandingthe monetary base after its massive asset purchases failed to generate sustained inflation.Under a new "yield curve control" framework, the BOJ's main means for monetary easing wouldbe to deepen negative interest rates from the current minus 0.1 percent, or lower its 10-yearbond yield target - now set at around zero percent. The policy switch has caused someconfusion because investors are not sure how low the BOJ will let 10-year bond yields fall.(Reporting by Stanley White; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

9 /23 1.7 Even in Tokyo, Duterte can’t contain anger at US (0.01/4)

TOKYO – President Dutertewas all praises for Japanfor all the assistance itprovides the Philippines,but could not contain hisanger and once morelashed out at the UnitedStates and the EuropeanUnion for criticism of hisanti-drug war.

In a profanity-laced speechbefore 1,200 members ofthe Filipino community inJapan, Mr. Duterte called the US a bully and said he was not fazed even if critics would filecases against him.

Mr. Duterte is immune from suit as President, but could be charged once he’s out of office.

The President said their threats to cut aid to the Philippines was a “demeaning” statement,making it appear as if he were a dog being taunted with a threat.

“You have the evidence, go ahead and file the case. I have no problem with it. I can rot in prisonfor my country. I am not a Filipino for nothing,” he said.

Even if the Philippines is poor, it must be respected, he said.

“Do not fuck with our dignity,” he said.

He could accept such treatment and criticism as mayor, but not as President when he alreadycarries the burden of sovereignty, he said.

On comments that he’s acting like a hoodlum, not a statesman, he said this was right.

“You’re a fool. You only found out now?” he added.

In contrast, Mr. Duterte had nothing but good words to say about Japan, where he said he was“more comfortable.”

He also said Japan has been a big source of financing for the Philippines, and added that it hasprogrammed $6 billion in development assistance for the country.

He thanked the Japanese for helping the Filipinos living here as well.

“First of all, I’d like to extend my gratitude to the Japanese people and government for hosting somany Filipinos and providing them work, gainfully employed in the country of Japan,” he said.

Mr. Duterte arrived in Tokyo Tuesday afternoon for a three-day official visit.

He is expected to discuss economic and defense cooperation with Japan.

10 /23 0.6 Duterte eyes sea defense link with Japan, transpo and

infra investmentsMANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte isvisiting Japan to discuss maritime defensecooperation and attract governmentfinancing and private investments in high-impact projects in transportation and

infrastructure into the country.

In his departure speech at the NinoyAquino International Airport, the Presidentcalled this “an important time” in forPhilippines-Japan relations especially ashe has declared his administration’spursuit of an “independent foreign policy.”

“I go to Japan with full trust that we can understand each other and Japan will understand myposition vis-à-vis with the foreign policy that I want to implement. It’s just a question of a policythat is really truly Filipino,” said Mr. Duterte.

During the three-day official visit, the President is expected to meet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,members of Japan’s parliament, business groups and Emperor Akihito. Abe invited Duterteduring the ASEAN meeting in Laos to visit Japan whose citizens were keeping tabs on Duterte.

“We will discuss, among others, greater politico-social and defense cooperation particularly inmaritime domain awareness and maritime security,” said the President.

The President called Japan, a key ally of the United States, “a valued strategic partner and oneof our true friends. He said Philippine-Japan relations were based on “adherence to the rule oflaw and the peaceful settlement of disputes,”

The President denied he would immediately reject a proposal for a Visiting Forces Agreementwith Japan as he has not seen any document pertaining to such military drills similar to what hasbeen conducted with the United States.

If ever, he said his policy was to discourage the entry of foreign soldiers in the country and theirbasing within Philippine territory whether for short periods within the year or long periods. “I donot have to dovetail what the policies of our countries are and especially in the matter ofstationing of military troops in my country. I really… I really hate it. I don’t want it. We don’t needit. We are not going to war and there’s not going to be any war in the future,” said the President.

When a Japanese reporter asked him which country he liked more, the President quicklyreplied: “Between China and Japan, I think I love the Philippines more.” The President went on afour-day state visit to China last week where he obtained loan and investment promises worthP700 billion.

In Japan, the President has said he will seek joint ventures in key infrastructure development,including getting the experience and expertise of Japan in developing high quality and modernpublic transportation. He said Mindanao would be the “central focus” of his bid to attract moreJapanese loans and investments.

“I look forward to meeting business leaders in Japan. I will tell them clearly that the Philippines isopen for business. The visit will be an opportunity for me to personally thank Japan for its pre-eminent and

peerless role as the Philippines’ development partner. I shall seek the strengthening of this rolethrough more high-impact projects that will benefit our nation,” said the President.

He was looking forward to meeting Akihito, and this meeting would be of “great and specialsignificance” for him.

“It reaffirms at the highest level the positive transformation of ties between our nations andpeoples. It renews our shared commitment to a forward-looking partnership that is founded onmutual respect, dignity and solidarity. It will capture in one moment the full-range of our relationswith a country that is kept at high-regard and definitely deserves its unique place,” he said. SFM

“I hope Japan will understand myposition on the independent foreignpolicy I would like to implement,” headded.

The President has repeatedly said inhis public speeches that he wanted to chart an independent foreign policy for the Philippines,threatening to cut ties with the country’s longtime ally, the US.

12 /23 2.2 Duterte’s stance vs foreign troops deserves support –

lawmakerMANILA — President Duterte’sreiteration of his “no foreign troops”stance on Tuesday is a “majortectonic shift” in foreign policy thatdeserves praise and support,according to an activist lawmaker.

Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos IsaganiZarate commended Mr. Duterte onTuesday for declaring in his speechbefore leaving for Japan hisopposition to the presence of foreigntroops in the country — without anyexceptions and including those from

Japan, which he would visit and which he has acknowledged as among the countries that havepoured billions of aid to the Philippines.

In a statement, the Makabayan congressman described Mr. Duterte’s words as “major tectonicshift in our foreign policy” that could “restore our country’s rightful and equal place in thecommunity of nations.”

“This reiteration of no-foreign troops policy in our country is much welcome and should bewidely supported,” Zarate said.

In his speech, the President dismissed talk of the possibility of signing a visiting forcesagreement with Japan.

Zarate, a member of Mr. Duterte’s supermajority in the House of Representatives, said the

President’s words should lay the basis for the abrogation of the country’s military pacts with theUnited States, particularly the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and the Enhanced DefenseCooperation Agreement (EDCA).

“The President is right: It’s time to end America’s treatment of us as puppets. We hope that thisclear pronouncement of the President will lead to the immediate passage of House Resolutions422 and 31, which call for the scrapping of VFA and EDCA,” Zarate said.

Earlier this month, Mr. Duterte called for a review of EDCA’s validity.

Zarate said he hoped that this would “ultimately lead soonest to the abrogation of thesedisadvantageous military executive agreements.”

“The fast-tracking of said twin resolutions show our support to the President’s policy thrust,” hesaid.

“We have said it before and we will say it again: these extremely onerous military agreementsare slaps on our national sovereignty. Abrogating these would be a concrete step to a genuineseparation from the interventionist US policy,” said Zarate.

“This abrogation will give more life, spirit and credence to the constitutional edict of pursuing anindependent foreign policy, with the interest of the Filipino people and the nation as ourprimordial

considerations,” he said.

Zarate said nullifying the military agreements with the United States would remove theperception of the Philippines as the former’s vassal state, instead of an ally.

“For the longest time, the Philippines has always been perceived, nay, even treated as asurrogate or vassal state, and, not as an ally of the US, especially in terms of its foreign policydirections. That our past leaders have allowed such treatment is our country’s grave misfortune,”he said.

It is within Mr. Duterte’s powers to request the termination of EDCA, per the Supreme Courtruling that it is an executive agreement between the Philippines and the United States,according to Kabataan Rep. Sarah Elago.

“Such [a] move can concretize the President’s pronouncement on breaking military ties with theUS,” Elago said.

Signed in April 2014 under the Aquino administration, EDCA allows US troops access to militarybases and camps in “agreed locations” in the Philippines.

Elago said the termination of EDCA could trigger a “domino effect” paving the way for theabrogation of other military agreements with the US, including the VFA and the 65-year-oldMutual Defense Treaty.

“The President can start the ball rolling with EDCA. Then the other lopsided agreements willundoubtedly follow suit,” Elago said. SFM/rga

14 /23 2.7 Tokyo Festival

Opens With ShinzoAbe and Meryl StreepStar Turns

There were Super Mario characters in thestreets of Roppongi earlier in the day. Butwhen Prime Minister Shinzo Abedescended on Tokyo’s entertainmentdistrict for the opening ceremony of the29th Tokyo International Film Festival hedid not repeat his Mario stunt outfit worn forthe Olympic Games in Brazil. Instead hewrapped up in a strictly-starched dinnersuit and a tired smile before greeting topoverseas guest Meryl Streep on the stepsof the Ex Theater.

Warming to the task, despite the light rain,Abe broke into English to recite a line from “The Iron Lady,” in which Streep portrays anotherPrime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

“I’d like people to take away all of the film’s surprises. At first it seems like an everyday lovestory, but then turns into something more deep and poignant,” Streep said of the opening film “Florence Foster Jenkins.”

“It is important to maintain some continuity,” Abe said after admitting that his regular visits to thefestival had been interrupted for five years while he was out of power.

Wearing a Japanese, stork-themed dress, Streep picked up the election theme. “I’d like to stayand watch all of the films, but I have to go back home and help the next President get elected,”she said.

“What we’d like to see is for Japan to become the gateway to Asia, and for creators from Japanto go out into the world,” Abe said. He revealed that his wife had recommended him to watchJapanese hit film “Shin Godzilla,” but that he had hesitated after learning that early in the movie

the Prime Minister and members of his cabinet meet an untimely death.

Also on the red carpet were main competition jurors Hong Kong director Mabel Cheung, Italianactor Valerio Mastandrea, U. S. producer Nicole Rocklin, Japanese director Hideyuki Hirayama,and French director Jean Jacques Beineix, as jury chairman.

Struggling to read a prepared speech from his smart phone, Beineix said that movies contributeto international peace and harmony. “Together with my fellow jurors, we will be looking foraudacious, creative and surprising films,” Beineix said from the stage.

Though TIFF (Oct. 25 – Nov. 3) and its accompanying market (TIFFCOM) have raised theirinternational profiles in recent years, the Japanese film business has found growth elusive.Despite the addition of nearly 1,000 multiplex screens in the past decade – 2,996 in 2015compared with 1,954 in 2005, total annual admissions have barely budged, hovering aroundthe 165 million mark.

What has improved is the market share of Japanese films vis-a-vis the foreign competition, withthe local titles out-earning the imports for the past eight years in a row.

Abroad, however, Japanese films are often a hard sell. Even in Asia, long their most receptiveoverseas market, Japanese films rarely get wide releases or hit the box office heights. Last year,Nobuhiro Doi’s feel-good drama “Flying Colors” bowed on nearly 2,000 screens in China, but itsbox office gross was a less-than-inspirational $5.7 million.

One problem is the strong domestic orientation of the big film companies and their mediapartners, whose adaptations of locally popular comics, novels or TV dramas target only theJapanese market, with foreign sales mostly an afterthought.

Also, the government’s Cool Japan initiative to spur contents exports has little relevance to themajor studios, which don’t require its backing. Indie filmmakers, find jumping through thescheme’s bureaucratic hoops all but impossible.

Nonetheless, the industry scores international breakthroughs, such as Toho’s “Shin Godzilla,”which has been sold to nearly 100 territories, and the megahit Makoto Shinkai animation “YourName,” which has earned more than $150 million domestically and nearly equaled theoverseas sales total of “Shin Godzilla.”

The festival promises plenty of surprises. Toho admits that it had no idea “Your Name” wouldbecome such a blockbuster.

15 /23 0.0 San Diego to South China Sea: U. S. Navy tested new

command in latest challenge to ChinaBy Tim Kelly TOKYO, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The U. S. Navy destroyer thatsailed near Chinese-claimed islands in the South China Sea last weekwas under orders from the Third Fleet headquarters in San Diego, a firstaimed at bolstering U. S. maritime power in the region, two sources said.The USS Decatur on Friday challenged China's "excessive maritime

claims" near the Paracel Islands, part of a string of islets, reefs and shoals over which Beijinghas territorial disputes with its neighbours. It was the first time such a freedom of navigationoperation has been conducted without the Japan-based Seventh Fleet in command and was atest of changes aimed to allow the U. S. Navy to conduct maritime operations on two fronts inAsia at the same time, two sources told Reuters. The sources spoke on condition that they werenot identified. Having the Third Fleet regularly command vessels in Asia, which it has not donesince World War Two, means the U. S. Navy can better conduct simultaneous operations suchas on the Korean peninsula and in the Philippines, said one of the sources, who is familiar withthe goals of the reorganization. "It is the first iteration of what will be a more regular operationstempo," he said. The guided-missile destroyer Decatur is part of a three-ship Surface ActionGroup (SAG) deployed to the South China Sea six months ago, said Commander Ryan Perry, aspokesman for the Third Fleet in San Diego, who confirmed its command role. U. S. Pacific FleetCommander Admiral Scott Swift last year signalled a wider role for the Third Fleet, when he saidhe was abolishing an administrative boundary along the international dateline that hadseparated the Third and Seventh fleets. Until then, Third Fleet vessels crossing the line cameunder Seventh Fleet command. This year, an official told Reuters more ships from the ThirdFleet would be sent to East Asia. The reorganisation, giving the Third Fleet a bigger frontlinerole, comes as momentum for the United States' Asian "pivot" falters and as Beijing's growingassertiveness fuels tension in the South China Sea. China claims most of the sea, throughwhich $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes a year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan andBrunei have overlapping claims. Beijing has accused Washington of deliberately creatingtension by sailing its ships close to China's islands. Asked about the use of the Third Fleetheadquarters, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said that if U. S. moves harmedthe peace, security and stability of the Asia Pacific then China would naturally oppose them. "IfU. S. moves jeopardise China's sovereign rights and security interests then China will, when allis said and done, take necessary steps in response," Lu told a daily news briefing in Beijing,without elaborating. The latest U. S. operation, its fourth, came as new Philippine PresidentRodrigo Duterte travelled to China to seek deeper ties with Asia's biggest economy. This week,he visits U. S. ally Japan. The Seventh Fleet, headquartered at the Japanese port of Yokosukanear Tokyo, is the most powerful naval fleet in Asia, with some 80 ships, including the UnitedStates' only forward deployed carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan. The U. S. Third Fleet consists ofmore than 100 vessels, including four aircraft carriers. (Additional reporting by Ben Blanchard inBeijing; Editing by Lincoln Feast)

17 /23 3.2 Surging coking

coal prices to hitJapan steelmakerearnings

By Yuka ObayashiTOKYO, Oct 25(Reuters) - Surgingprices for cokingcoal will likely driveJapan's top two steelproducers to miss their earnings forecastsfor this financial year, but will help

suppliers of the steelmaking ingredient such as Mitsubishi Corp , analysts said. Lower-than-expected profits at Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal and JFE Holdings, already grappling with astronger yen, could ramp up pressure to raise prices for steel products. Spot prices for premiumhard coking coal in Australia, which dominates global exports, this week surged to over $245 atonne. That took the rally so far this year to more than 200 percent, after China moved to cutovercapacity in its mammoth coal sector. Five analysts in the last 30 days have cut theirrecurring profit estimates for Nippon Steel for the year to March 31 by 36 percent on averageand for JFE by 49 percent, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S/. "Their margins will besqueezed in the October-March half as procurement costs of raw materials will rise by about4,000 yen ($38.30) a tonne from a year ago," said Goldman Sachs analyst Shuhei Nakamura.He recently slashed his annual recurring profit estimate for Nippon Steel by 14 percent to 106billion yen and for JFE by 28 percent to 41.8 billion yen, below the companies' forecasts of 130billion yen and 65 billion yen respectively. He added, however, that the estimate is based on anassumption of hard coking coal prices falling to $174 per tonne in January-March from $200 pertonne this quarter. To offset ballooning costs, Nippon Steel is looking for an increase in productprices of 10,000 yen per tonne in total in the second half compared to the year before, PresidentKosei Shindo said on Monday, adding that soaring raw material prices were a key managementconcern. But analysts including SMBC Nikko Securities' Atsushi Yamaguchi think steelmakerscannot pass on the whole burden to customers. "There is excess (steel) supply globally. Steelprices will only rise, pushed by cost, not pulled by demand. Historically, steelmakers lose moneyunder such condition," he said. Meanwhile, firmer prices are good news for coal suppliers suchas Mitsubishi Corp, which jointly owns 8 mines with BHP Billiton in Australia. "Mitsubishi benefitsmost among Japanese trading companies from higher coking coal prices," Macquarie analystPolina Diyachkina said, predicting profit would come in at 388 billion yen this year, 55 percentabove the firm's guidance. Mitsubishi, which last year booked its first-ever annual net loss due tomassive writedowns on a slump in commodity prices, has predicted a profit of 250 billion yenthis year. "If the spot (coking coal) price holds up at the current level until March, there is afurther 50 billion yen upside," said Diyachkina. JFE will report results for April-September onFriday, followed by Nippon Steel on Nov. 1 and Mitsubishi on Nov. 4. ($1 = 104.4000 yen)(Reporting by Yuka Obayashi; Editing by Joseph Radford)

22 /23 3.2 Karate Olympic debut shines light on martial art

Hollywood may have kickedkarate onto the world stage,but its first-ever Olympicinclusion at the Tokyo 2020Games promises to shine alight on the rich history of thediscipline. At 78, senseiMasahiro Nakamoto has beenwaiting decades for thisdecision, insisting there is farmore to the martial art than thecaricature depicted in filmssuch as Karate Kid and byaction stars Chuck Norris and

Jean-Claude Van Damme. "This is the art of defence," the karate master told AFP at his dojo inNaha, Okinawa -- an island chain some 600 kilometres (375 miles) from the southern tip ofmainland Japan. "You don't go just kicking and punching, you receive your opponent's blow.Defending yourself translates into offence," he added. At the Tokyo Games, 80 competitors willtake part in the Karate event. It joins surfing, skateboarding, climbing and baseball-softball asnew sports included for the 2020 edition. "The dreams of the world's karate athletes came true

when the (International Olympic Committee) made its decision," said Japan Karate doFederation vice president Shigeo Kurihara. "It's an historic event -- it was a day of joy for all ofus. " A blend of indigenous fighting styles, karate was born in Okinawa in the 15th century whenthe area was ruled by the independent Ryukyu Kingdom. Strong trading links meant the sportwas also influenced by Chinese martial arts. It is far older than the modern Olympics and todayhas at least 10 million registered practitioners worldwide, and yet it has struggled to make thecase for inclusion in the Games. By contrast, judo, a Japanese martial art, and Korea'staekwondo are already permanent fixtures on the roster. Judo made its Olympic debut whenTokyo hosted the 1964 Games while taekwondo made its first appearance at the global event in1988. Integrating karate into the Olympics has been delayed by divisions in the movementaround the world, with stalwarts long preferring to adhere to their interpretation rather than towork together to create an global art form. "The variety of styles – more than 20 – complicatedefforts to unify karate," said Francis Didier, vice president of the World Karate Federation. "It tooka bit too long to modernise the rules of competition," he admitted. Sport karate, for example, callsfor competition rules where opponents have to control their blows, while traditional karate allowsfor harder shots but requires significant protective gear, such as boxing gloves and helmets. Themartial art was only brought to Tokyo in the early 20th century when Gichin Funakoshi, regardedas the father of modern karate, moved from Naha. "Okinawa was the place where karate'sspirituality developed," explains Kurihara. Frustrations remain however, that Okinawa's role inthe development of karate has been airbrushed out of history. For Nakamoto, the OlympicGames in four years time, is a chance to redress that. "This is a great chance to show the worldwhere karate has its roots. The world may be surprised to know that it was developed here," hesaid, adding that it was inexorably linked to the island chain's politics. When the RyukyuKingdom ruled Okinawa for more than 400 years starting in the 15th century, brewers hiredkarate masters to protect shipments of indigenous rice-based liquor called Awamori, Nakamotoexplained. A vital tool of diplomacy at the time -- keeping leaders on good terms with China andJapan. "Brewers could sell their surplus so it was the jobs of karate masters to protect convoysfrom robbery," Nakamoto said. "In summer, they would rest outside and drink the spirits -- so itbecame part of the skill, to defend ourselves from attack while drunk, or asleep. " Karate expertand author Stephane Fauchard insists inclusion at the Tokyo 2020 Games will bring people tothe sport. "This is going to boost the sport's visibility. The Games are a great showcase," he toldAFP. Still, Fauchard doesn't expect one big happy karate family. He explained: "Sport karate willcontinue to develop in national federations while traditional karate will still be taught in schools.They'll both benefit from the media attention brought by the Olympics and continue to exist sideby side. " Karate will still have to prove its credentials to retain an Olympic sport beyond 2020however, the IOC will review whether its inclusion was a success. Didier argues it's clear whykarate should remain in the games after 2020. "Karate is relatively inexpensive, and athletescompete in the same arena as their judo and wrestling counterparts, and can be run over a fewdays. "
