Is that anything wrong with the translation ( Japanese-->English ) given the subtle Japanese language has many doctrines over communication in a polite manner..."I want France...I want him to... ( Gemba-San, learn some manner s'il vous plait )

It is fair to say Serrano has got a point on linking how much money the chap ( mines owner ) made to afford the best & much expensive autos & the highest rate of coal mines related causalty in China.. He should have saved a few pennies spent on cars for improving safety at some coal mines in a broad sense ( not necessarily his own mines as I have idea on such safety record )

Riffraff, Gemba the FM has indeed behaved much better thanks to public critics ( including outcrys from a number of posters at JT ) over the past weeks. The payouts are now counted in millions but not billions of US$ !

Yukio was the telling the point here, with PCs widely used for word processing, Kanji writing would probably be fading out. The pyramid of needs is different from individual to individual : those who are not satisfied with mere "Beer-drinking" styled communications, do dig deep into the couple thousand of Kanji, memorize them by heart..once the tough part is over, practice on writing them should be alleviated by modern tools -- just choose the right Kanji from your PC software.

"Growth in China has slowed recently, falling to 8.1% in the first quarter from 9.7% a year earlier, as domestic demand drops and Europe’s debt woes curb business activity."
Domestic demand in China was intentionally curbed by the Chinese govt to contain inflation. Housing sector was cooled by cautious monetary policy & property taxes. While Europe as an export market is definitely a key factor, not to forget the slump in the U.S. & Japanese markets that represent key export markets for Chinese exports. Not sure if Japanese maintains good consumer confidence in spending, the U.S. May not..

Magic formula to cash in billions : cook up a posture of post-US amid an opportunity brought along by international geopolitics --> receiving a few US officials with vague promises --> open your pocket & wait.. Magic will be bring in cash NOT by the US but its loyal followers like Japan..not the end then... The Chinese, not crossing their arms, will bring even bigger checks with even higher bids.. The magic game will carry on for a decade or so.. Democratization ? Who wants to lose grip of power ?

How to prevent similar cases of abuses in future ? Presuming that the 44 yr old ossan was ' innocent' given the forged ID presented when the child was employed..to protect the children, would have to target at the demand for these children -- the 'customers'. Have the Japanese law makers put forward sufficiently harsh punishments against these customers ( chopping them into pieces would not be enough for such insane acts ! )

Thank you for those who have engineered the split between the south & the north -- oil fields are almost solely found in the south...Sudanese time bombs have already been activated since day one of the separation. Serious concerns lie with the innocent civilians !

Japan has become pretty aggressive indeed when it comes to inter-party fights & eye- catching acts to stir up external 'threats' in order to divert the Japanese citizens' attention elsewhere away from the internal 'bread-&-butter' issues.
Long term goals & far reaching visions are not on the agenda -- not because they are idiots -- but they are too smart to address short term issues when they are in office.

"The region along the lower reaches of the 4,800-kilometer Mekong River has historically been isolated by war and political turmoil and remains poorer than other parts of Southeast Asia."
Dubbed as " the region ( Tohoku ).. About 1,000-kilometer.. From Tokyo...has historically been isolated by politicians and remains poorer than other parts of Japan " this Tohoku region is closer, Japanese & matching the 'criteria' of being granted with some extra aids ? Generous technocrats !

On the other side of the coin, one has to figure out how rare are these hard earned secret agents are identified & selected, then being trained and demonstrating a very high degree of loyalty to protect the president / high officials !
The issue can be resolved by providing some 'safe' female escorts ( Japanese version of 'comfort women' ) for prolonged missions abroad ? Admittedly, there is a concern over ethnical issue..albeit there is a tradeoff on the question ?
