What’s the big deal?

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com NEGOTIATIONS on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an ambitious trade agreement linking America, Japan and ten other countries—together accounting for 40% of global GDP—have missed so many deadlines that one more may not seem to matter. But talks are reaching a point of no return. Without an agreement in the next few weeks there will not be enough time to complete the TPP before America is embroiled in a presidential election campaign, and progress will be impossible until 2017. American diplomats, however, insist the deal is on track. They sometimes seem to be trying to convince themselves that an aim that has become a linchpin of American strategy is still achievable.Their nervousness has been heightened by the...

Treasure hunt

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com IN GINZA, Tokyo’s best-known shopping district, a dozen-odd tour buses disgorge crowds of determined Chinese shoppers at their first stop: a suitcase emporium from which they emerge with the extra capacity they need to cart home the cornucopia of Japanese goods they are about to amass, including what mainlanders now dub Japan’s “four treasures”—brand-name rice cookers, vacuum flasks, ceramic knives and high-tech lavatory seats (see article). In the funky boutiques of Daikanyama, Chinese dandies are hard to tell apart from local counterparts in cropped trousers and round, horn-rimmed spectacles (until recently Chinese tourists always stood out a mile for their unsophisticated dress sense). Meanwhile, mainland Chinese,...

After the patriarch

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comThe mourners keep coming LEE KUAN YEW died on March 23rd after spending 47 days in intensive care. His son and prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, told the country that Singapore will not see a man like him again. Its first prime minister had “fought for independence, built a nation where there was none and made us proud to be Singaporeans”. After a family wake, the patriarch’s body lay in state on March 25th. Singaporeans came in huge numbers to pay respects: by the afternoon the queues wound all around downtown Singapore, with an eight-hour wait to file past the coffin. Elsewhere, at designated sites, people left flowers, cards and balloons. A typical note read: “Thank you for all the sweat and tears you’ve shed for...

The pen and the sword

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comTEN months after seizing power in a coup, Thailand’s junta chafes at still having to defend its record. It will soon start handing out to passers-by in busy parts of Bangkok the first of 10,000 glossy booklets recounting the junta’s glorious achievements. It probably hopes the missive will help to quell creeping discontent in the capital, and save Prayuth Chan-ocha, the general serving as Thailand’s prime minister, from endless questioning. He recently said he had been tempted to punch a journalist in the face.The army’s propagandists have plenty to scribble about. Unburdened of democratic process, its rubber-stamp parliament, the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), has been cranking out new laws—more than 60 since...

He emphasised a determination to crack down on corruption. And he won praise from President Barack Obama for having “taken on the mantle of commander-in-chief in a way that we have not seen in the past from an Afghan president.”Mr Ghani comes away with a prize,...

Wall of shame

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comLeave them cheats alone PHOTOGRAPHS of parents scaling the walls of an exam hall to pass cheat sheets to students offer the latest evidence of India’s failing school system. The examinees in Bihar, a largely rural state, were in the matriculating class, known as class ten. A good mark might be a gateway to college and a decent job in government, computing or banking. Sadly a big decline in school standards has made this far harder to achieve, at least by fair means. Hence the lengths—or heights—to which parents will go.A recent report on education in rural India shows how far standards have slipped in the past decade. Fewer than half of pupils in class five could properly read a text written for class two pupils....

Summer of love

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comIN THE gay bars and clubs of Shinjuku, a lively part of Japan’s capital, the talk is all about what the neighbouring district of Shibuya is up to. The local mayor, Toshitake Kuwahara, is on the verge of introducing certificates which would recognise same-sex relationships as equivalent to marriages. Lots of couples are preparing to get hitched, say clubbers. Some are moving to Shibuya. Assuming the ordinance is passed, the first certificates could be issued in the summer.Tokyo’s gay activists hope that this will eventually lead to the full national adoption of gay-marriage laws. Japan is one of only a handful of rich countries not to give legal rights to same-sex partnerships. But Shibuya’s move is already sparking...

The son also disappears

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comRahul is away, working on his beard IT IS hard to imagine what more could go wrong for Congress, which has dominated Indian politics for much of the country’s independent life. Last year’s parliamentary elections were disastrous: the party took just 44 seats (out of 543) in May, too few to count as the official opposition. In five state assembly polls since then it has been crushed. In February’s election in Delhi, a territory it ran for 15 years up to 2013, Congress won no seats.Awful electoral losses might be explained as part of a political cycle. Failed leadership and division are graver threats. The biggest problem is Rahul Gandhi, the 44-year-old scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, who expects to become Congress’s...

Victims of the raid

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com OVER the past five years, Filipino police and armed forces have tried and failed nine times to capture Zulkifli Abdhir, a Malaysian bomb-maker better known as Marwan, who was reportedly involved in the Bali bombings in 2002 that left hundreds dead. These repeated failures made Getulio Napeñas, a former head of the Special Action Force (SAF), an elite police squad, suspicious that members of the armed forces were leaking information about operations in advance.So he organised a raid without them. On January 25th 392 SAF troops assembled at Mamasapano, a town in the Muslim-majority province of Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, to capture Marwan and two other men, Usman and Baco, who are suspected of involvement...

Storm in a port

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comAT A cost of $1.4 billion, Colombo port city is Sri Lanka’s biggest foreign-financed project. The idea is to reclaim land from the sea and build fancy houses on it. The state-owned China Communications Construction Company won the contract from the ports ministry, run by the then president, Mahinda Rajapaksa.The megaproject fits neatly into China’s plans for what it calls a new maritime Silk Road to increase trade across the Indian Ocean. But in Sri Lanka, the deal is hugely controversial. It has become a test of how far the new government can turn its back on the Rajapaksa era and how skilfully it can steer its foreign policy between Asia’s two giants, China and India.During the election campaign, Maithripala Sirisena,...

No enchanted evening

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com TROPICAL cyclones are frequent in the south-west Pacific between November and April, with an average of ten a year. They are born near the equator and scythe southward. Rivers burst their banks and crops are destroyed, but the loss of life is usually small. People stock up on tinned food and bottled water. Householders who own a fridge stuff newspaper around their food as insulation for when the electricity blacks out.But Cyclone Pam, which ripped through the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu on the night of March 13th, was quite out of the ordinary. With sustained winds of 145 knots (268km per hour), it was the worst storm to hit the South Pacific since at least Cyclone Zoe in 2002. It brushed the east coast of Efate,...

Trouble at home

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com SINCE the turmoil of the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, South-East Asia has, with some glaring exceptions, enjoyed remarkable political stability. Its leaders have used that calm to promote greater integration of their club, the Association of South-East Asian Nations, or ASEAN. This was supposed to reach something of a climax at the end of 2015, with the birth of the ASEAN Community, which would set up an “economic community”, turning a region of 630m people into a “single market and a single production base”. But this looks likely to be a hollow achievement. There will be myriad formal legislative targets but little genuine integration. One reason is that the political backdrop has changed. Throughout...

The Han that rock the cradle

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.comFOR most of the past three weeks 19 members of the Yang family have lived in “125”, a refugee camp that straddles the Myanmar-China border. They left their homes in February when fighting flared up between Burmese government troops and local rebels, says one of the Yang sisters, carrying the youngest of her six children on her back in a red velvet sling. But after shelling came perilously close to the camp one night, they fled again, this time crossing into China, laden down with bedding, clothes and “water-smoking pipe”, or giant bamboo hookah. They joined the 60,000 or so Burmese who, the Chinese state media say, have entered Yunnan province since early February.The fighting in Kokang, a small region in Myanmar’s...

Last week, Umarali Kuvatov, leader of a Tajik movement called Group 24, who fled the country in 2012 reportedly after a business deal with the president’s son-in-law went wrong, fell ill while having dinner in Istanbul. That (speculate the Turkish media) was a result of poisoning. Whether true or not, when he went outside for medical help, he was shot in the back of the head. His assassin vanished.The murder came days after a parliamentary election in Tajikistan on March 1st.

No entry

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com AROUND 9m people have fled their homes in Syria. Over 3m have taken refuge in neighbouring countries. But thousands more have fanned out across the world, some to as far away as Japan. There, they have found the drawbridge up. The world’s third-largest economy has yet to grant asylum to a single Syrian.The treatment meted out to Syrians is consistent with Japan’s stingy record on sheltering people fleeing conflicts of all kinds. In the decade to 2013, the country gave asylum to just over 300 refugees. In 2014, the number fell to 11.These figures are all the more remarkable considering that the number of stateless people is growing, and that many are knocking on Japan’s door. Last year, the number of refugees, asylum-seekers...

How to damage India’s reputation

Nguồn tin: nguontinviet.com “THIS is an international conspiracy to defame India,” raged one minister in parliament last week, upset by a foreign film about a rape in Delhi. Another, Rajnath Singh (the home minister), claimed that he would somehow order Britain’s state broadcaster, the BBC, not to show it. Pressed by the opposition, the government prevented the film from being shown on national television—guaranteeing it a large audience online.Thin-skinned Indian politicians often claim that a “foreign hand” is plotting against the country and besmirching its good name. When outside researchers point to worryingly high levels of air pollution, open defecation or bad public hygiene, for example, nationalists call such observations malign...
