When I read this article, I was struck by Japan's folly in becoming a mere ATM for the world.
Japan must urgently revise the stupid Constitution imposed on Japan by GHQ to weaken Japan permanently.
And we must become a decent country, or else we cannot prevent the ejection of fools like Kishida.

Think about it. Now, Kishida, perhaps spurred on by Biden, is claiming that the massive amount of aid money that he is disbursing to the Global South in the hope that it will serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of China (although I doubt if he really has such an intention) is actually being used by China as an ATM to pay back the high-interest loans it has given to these countries.
If the enormous amount of aid money being disbursed in the form of ATMs is just used to repay the high-interest loans it has made to these countries from China, nothing is more foolish.
The Japanese people are forced to pay higher taxes while a vast amount of money is being spent overseas.
The late Lee Teng-hui, who studied at Kyoto University, knew Japan well and respected Japan, once suggested to Japan that "Japan should stop giving aid to foreign countries...and use the money to improve domestic infrastructure. I have always agreed with his suggestion.

With the enormous amount of aid money that Kishida is currently disbursing worldwide (because it is not his own money), Japan can do all kinds of things that it needs to do now.
Improve Japan's defense capability, strengthen cutting-edge industries, improve domestic infrastructure, wipe out low-income young people without regular jobs, and solve Japan's declining birthrate.
The stupidity and low-mindedness of talking about LGBT, same-sex marriage, etc., when the birthrate must be solved in the first place, cannot be a politician leading a country where the "turntable of civilization" is turning.
Japan continues to provide large amounts of aid to India.
France and Germany are selling expensive arms to India.
That alone shows Japan's stupidity is so bad that even an elementary school student can understand it.
