When Naruhito signs the guestbook in both countries, he will find that the previous pages were all signed by Chinese dignitaries.

Perhaps he will be able to recognize all the Chinese signs in the capitals of both nations, or, stay at the guest houses built by the Chinese. Or, visit the various infrastructure projects- electric power, ports, irrigation, roads, that China is financing in Africa.

When he sees all this activity with his own eyes, he can then report back to the Japanese govt, and gasp out loud: 'What the *%$# are we doing in Africa besides sitting on our thumbs?!?!?!'

he hopes his upcoming trip to Ghana and Kenya will deepen ties.

Japan loves to wheel out this phrase, time and again. But what does it even mean? Sounds like a lot of wishy-washy rubbish to me.

I think this trip would have been a great opportunity,cure relief for Princeness Masako. When the fresh wind & morning sun heat her head, every parasite of stress will definitely run away from her, after one week she spend in a pure nature, virgin land. As one of the writer comments her(Murshroomcloud)Sincerely, when Crown Prince Naruhito visit this continent he'll surely see the hand writting of Chinese on every wall in Africa and beyond. Thereafter, he'll realized the position of Japan in Africa. And will understand the might of Chinese in every part of the world, then, consider that Japanese are now only chasing a dark shadow coz' Japanese started this race century ago, but deny to cultivate in an open rich courtyard that are full of honey, sliver & Gold. Then, he will jugde and advice his people for a change in their thinking and system. Consider future................and work towards to immediately......... as tomorrow may be toooooooooooooo late.
