Promoting Cultural Exchange amond Japan, theUS, and China

Looking at the recent international situation, conflicts never cease in Europe and the Middle East, leaving nations on edge, wondering if Asia will be next.
In Japan, there are deep concerns that China might annex Taiwan by force, which could very well lead to an incursion into Japanese territory. Consequently, Japan is currently in the process of reinforcing its defenses in the Nansei Islands, including Yonaguni and Ishigaki Islands.

Meanwhile, China views unification with Taiwan as its highest priority and has not ruled out the use of military force. It has deployed numerous naval vessels around Taiwan, conducting military exercises that surround the island to exert pressure on neighboring countries.

The United States remains vigilant against China’s growing national power. While maintaining an officially neutral stance by stating that the Taiwan issue is an internal matter for China, the U.S. continues to export weapons to Taiwan, fueling China’s frustration.

Thus, while all three nations grapple with their respective domestic issues, this looming regional crisis weighs heavily on the minds of their leaders.

Naturally, none of these three countries wants to be dragged into a war; no citizen welcomes such a conflict. At a time like this, we must all seriously consider what needs to be done.

Prices of Pre-owned Condominiums in the Greater Greater Tokyo Area and Rising Interest Rates

The chart above illustrates the price trends for pre-owned condominiums (approx. 60 m2) in the Greater Tokyo Area. Prices have surged from 30.36 million yen in 2016 to 52 million yen in 2025, representing an increase of roughly 1.7 times.

In Tokyo's three central wards, this growth rate is doubled; it is rumored that even pre-owned units will surpass the 100-million-yen mark in 2026.

How long can this continue? Word on the street is that the price surge has already ground to a halt, and a significant gap has emerged between asking prices and actual contract prices.
