After the talks on October 28, Japanese Prime Minister Sakaimi Takashi and U.S. President Trump did not hold a joint press conference to release joint results. Instead, it publicly signed documents on the implementation of the Japan-US tariff agreement and reached a number of commitments that would help invest in the United States.
Before this meeting, Takashi Takashi not only accompanied Trump on the aircraft carrier parade, but also even postponed the talks in order to personally accompany Trump to watch the major league game.
A picture posted by the White House, the world's eye shocked, while accompanying Trump down the ladder, the high-market morning sunset directly holds Trump's arm, affectionately in Trump's ears.
I don't know whether she speaks English or Japanese. Legend has it that her English level is still good.In Asian culture, men and women politicians accompany, women often need to keep an image, avoid the external world to generate gender connections, and generally remain relatively serious. In public occasions, the handshake between men and women politicians is difficult to see, will be considered more ambiguous, even obscene.
Seeing this behind the scenes, I wonder if Mrs. Trump Melania will be jealous if she sees it!
However, such a flattering performance did not bring any substantial benefits to Japan. Instead, it made the White House think that this was the treatment that the master deserved to treat the colonies.
As a result of the talks on Japan, the White House has not even issued a joint statement on a wide range of areas from security to economics, but has only issued memoirs on individual areas such as tariffs and rare earths and related investments. Fact Sheet (Fact Sheet)。
Just print a list of tasks for Japan to complete!
The core is in three aspects:
Japan has previously pledged $55 billion to invest in the United States to further revitalize the American industrial base.
A landmark key mineral agreement with Japan ensures historic U.S. energy procurement
In addition, the United Nations has deepened its cooperation in the fight against illicit drug trafficking.
In addition, the procurement includes:
Expand the purchase of 75% of U.S. rice;
Procurement of defense equipment increased from 2 trillion yen to 2 trillion and fifty billion yen.
Purchase 100 Boeing aircraft;
Crop procurement is 1.2 trillion yen;
Imports liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Alaska.
This is to directly empty the Japanese treasury, Japan has lost 30 years, and the next 30 years will continue to work for the United States, bringing dry food!
Emptying the treasury is not the most important thing, Trump's goal is to directly empty the Japanese home and move Japan's most core industrial chain completely to the United States!
To transfer Toshiba's electricity and nuclear power technology to GE and other American companies, to transfer data centers and electronic components, Fukuoka's fiber technology, etc. to the United States!
There are also electronics in Panama, Mumbai, and other ports, energy storage, shipbuilding and other industrial chains that will help rebuild the United States.
These are Japan's last assets!
The specific list is as follows:
Key energy infrastructure areas:
Partnership with Toshiba to provide up to $25 billion worth of power modules, transformers and other power generation transformer equipment
In partnership with Carrier, spending up to $20 billion to provide thermal cooling systems and solutions, including coolant distribution units necessary for chillers, air handling systems and power infrastructure.
Up to $25 billion of funding will be used to supply large-scale power equipment, such as gas turbines, steam turbines and generators, for grid electrification and stabilization systems, including a partnership with GE Vernova to provide high-voltage direct flow and conversion power stations solutions for critical facilities.
Up to $332 billion will be used to support key U.S. energy infrastructure, including the construction of AP1000 and small modular reactors (SMRs) in partnership with Western House Electric; SMRs in partnership with GE Vernova and Nissan; large-scale power infrastructure supplies from ENTRA1 Energy; engineering, procurement and other services for key power plants, transformation stations and transmission systems in partnership with Bechtel and Kiewit; design, procurement and other services for large-scale power infrastructure in partnership with SoftBank Group; and natural gas transmission and power infrastructure services in partnership with Kinder Morgan.
Artificial intelligence infrastructure investment:
Up to $30 billion in partnership with Mitsubishi Motors to supply power station systems and data center equipment; up to $25 billion in partnership with TDK to supply advanced electronic components and power modules; up to $20 billion in partnership with Fujitsu to supply fiber optic cables.
Electronics and Supply Chain Investments:
Partnership with Panasonic to provide up to $15 billion worth of energy storage systems and electronic equipment and components.
Investing up to $15 billion in advanced electronic components, including multi-layer ceramic capacitors, electro-sensors and electromagnetic interference suppression filters, will be partnered with村田.
Critical Minerals Investments:
Invest up to US$3 billion to build an ammonia and urea fertilizer plant in the United States, and US$2 billion to build a copper smelting and refining plant in the western United States.
Manufacturing and Logistics Investment:
US$600 million will be used to upgrade ports and waterways in the southern United States to promote U.S. crude oil exports; US$500 million will be used to establish high-pressure and high-temperature diamond sand production facilities in the United States; and US$350 million will be used to build lithium iron phosphate production facilities in the United States.
Japan is committed to further expanding U.S. export opportunities, including:
Japan will implement its Mobile Software Competition Act in a manner that does not discriminate against United States companies, balances the need for fair and free competition with user safety and convenience, and respects the legitimate exercise of intellectual property rights.
As Japan pledges to accept U.S.-made and U.S.-certified cars for sale in Japan without additional testing, Toyota plans to export its U.S.-made cars to Japan and open its distribution platform in Japan to U.S. automakers.
The United States and Japan have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) to expand their shipbuilding capabilities by coordinating investment, procurement, labor and technology initiatives.
This has completely surpassed the previous Plaza Accord. It cannot be said to be Plaza Accord 2.0 at all, but the overall relocation plan of Japan!
Currently, Japan's public debt exceeds 250% of GDP, one of the highest levels among developed countries.
And once this list of facts is implemented, what will Japan have left?
