今日は、穴子寿司から出雲大社まで多彩な話題でしたが、いろいろな語彙を教えてもらいました。ありがとう！

Today's topic was the U.S. FONOPs, which have received a lot of attention in recent years as a response to China's expansion in the South China Sea. Besides, FONOPs also targets its allies, such as Japan and South Korea. Many Japanese do not know this, but they will be disgusted when they find out. I appreciate your erudition.

We read an article on recent Sino-Iran relations, titled "The Myth of Massive Investment." We then talked about the Chinese foreign minister's visit to six countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Oman. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate your reflective lesson. We read an article on ideological friction between China and the West, especially the U.S. The relationship between the two countries could be seen as approaching a New Cold War, although presidents tend to avoid the words. The two sides seem to have actually reached a stage where there is an "ideological" confrontation.

Many thanks to you! We read an article on controversial South Korean dramas, which include Chinese-capitalized productions—PPL (Product Placement) advertisements appear unnaturally in the dramas. For instance, there was a scene where Chinese bibimbap suddenly appeared and the main characters ate it; at first glance, it could have been mistaken for Chinese food, which made Koreans infuriated.

We read an article on "the new protectionism" caused by the current phenomenon that some countries, particularly the U.K and the U.S., have effectively restricted the export of vaccines—protectionism in the developed world has made China's and Russia's vaccine diplomacy stand out. Thank you so much!

今日は、動物園や海面上昇などについて話をした後、インタビューの模擬テストをしてもらいました。いつものように、有益なアドバイスをいただきました。ありがとう！

We read an article that the massive power outage in Mumbai, India's largest commercial city, last October. We also talked about the coming Japan-U.S. summit meeting on April 16, aiming to reach an agreement on expanding support for infrastructure construction. The Japanese and U.S. governments are likely to draw up guidelines on supporting infrastructure construction in third countries. Thank you so much!

We read a comprehensive article on international politics in Northeast Asia, with international security at its core. Then we discussed South Korea's dilemma and the role Japan should play. Thank you for your pertinent comments.

We talked about the Biden administration's Interim National Security Strategy, comparing it with the Truman Doctrine and discussing their similarity—both of them emphasize the value of democracy in U.S. foreign policy. Nice talking to you!

We read an article on Sino-Philippine relations, discussing Japan's role. I appreciate your practical and useful lesson.

We read an article on Sino-Soviet and Sino-Indian relations. Many thanks to you!

Thank you always! We read an article on Saudi Crown Prince MBS, who developed a close relationship with former U.S. President Trump, and the Biden administration's "human right diplomacy" toward Saudi Arabia.

Thank you so much! We read an article on the "Loaded language"―U.S. policy toward the North Korean nuclear issue. We also discussed the difference among "2+2" meetings of the U.S., Japan, and South Korea, and compared Biden with the former Democratic presidents, such as Clinton and Obama.
