Recently the NHK News reported the following:
ロシアが１年前に始めた東シベリア産の原油の輸出のうち、日本向けの割合が最も多かったことが明らかになり、日本にとっては原油の新たな調達先としてロシアの存在感が徐々に高まっています。
ロシア政府は、大規模な開発を進めている東シベリア産の原油をアジア太平洋地域向けに輸出するため、去年１２月、専用の港を極東に整備し、日本や中国などへの輸出に乗り出しました。輸出が始まってからちょうど１年となる２８日、専用の港を運営する政府系の企業が記者会見を行い、輸出の実績を明らかにしました。それによりますと、東シベリアからこの１年間に輸出された原油は、あわせて１５３０万トンに上り、このうち日本向けが全体の３０％と最も多くを占めました。政府系企業の代表は「政治と経済は別物だ」と述べ、北方領土問題とは切り離して、今後も日本とのエネルギー協力を進めていきたい考えを示しました。日本にとっては、東シベリアを含むロシアからの原油は多い月で輸入量全体の１０％近くに上っています。日本は９０％近くを輸入している中東への依存を減らすため、東シベリアの原油に注目していて、新たな調達先としてロシアの存在感が徐々に高まっています。
It was understood that among the crude oil that was exported out from east Siberia of Russia since a year ago, Japan had a huge amount; and for Japan a sense of Russia presence had risen gradually as Russia was a new crude oil procurement destination.
In December Russian government prepared a special port in the Far east for the purpose of exporting crude oil to the Asia Pacific region from east Siberia where large-scale development was in progress, the export was to Japan and China, etc. A governmental enterprise that managed a special port held a press conference on the 28th when the export had been started for exactly one year, and results of the export were explained. According to it, the crude oil that had been exported from east Siberia in total had reached 15.3 million tons in these 12 months, Japan had the lion share that accounted for 30% of the total amount. A representative of the governmental enterprise described that "Politics and economy were different things", and was keeping a distance from the dispute over the Northern Territories, and showed the idea of advancing energy cooperation with Japan in the future. For Japan, crude oil from Russia including that from east Siberia during some high importing months had reached almost 10% of total import volume. In order to reduce its dependence on the Middle East where it got almost 90% of its import, Japan was paying attention to the crude oil from east Siberia, and gradually feeling the presence of Russia because it was becoming a new oil buying destination.
It is logical to expect that the influence of Russia over Japan would increase gradually when the latter increases its dependence on Russian oil.

東京の銀座・有楽町地区のデパート「西武有楽町店」が25日午後8時、26年の歴史に幕を下ろした。
午後8時に営業を終了した西武有楽町店で、閉店後、セレモニーが行われた。
西武有楽町店の店長は「本日をもちまして、営業を終了させていただきます」と話した。
閉店セールの最終日となった25日は、6万人が来店し、売り上げは1日で1億6,000万円に上ったという。
1984年にオープンした西武有楽町店は、OL向けのファッションの発信などを行ってきたが、カジュアル衣料品店舗の台頭などを受け、2010年2月期の売上高は138億円と、ピーク時の半分に落ち込んでいた。
百貨店業界では、景気低迷下で不採算店舗の見直しが相次いでおり、2010年に閉鎖したのはあわせて11店舗に上っている。
西武有楽町店のあとには、JR東日本系の商業施設「ルミネ」が入り、2011年秋に開業する予定。
Department store "Seibu Yurakucho branch" of Ginza in Yurakucho district of Tokyo lowered the curtain for its 26-year history at 8:00PM on the 25th.
The Seibu Yurakucho branch ended its business at 8:00PM, after the closing, a ceremony was performed.
The manager at the Seibu Yurakucho branch said, "With today included, business has come to an end".
It was said that 60,000 people came to a store on the 25th that became the final day of the closing sale, and sales mounted up to 160 million yen in one day.
The Seibu Yuraucho branch opened in 1984 aimed at sending out fashion to office ladies, but affected by the popularity of casual apparel stores etc, its sales in the period of February, 2010 dropped to 13.8 billion yen which was half of the peak.
In the department store industry, under the economic stagnation, unprofitable stores came under review one after another, and in 2010 up to 11 stores had been closed.
After the Seibu Yurakucho branch, the East Japan Railway affiliated commercial establishment "Lumine" was scheduled to come in, and to open business in the autumn of 2011.
Some old customers of the Seibu department store would miss its Yurakucho branch very much.

中國成為容整大国
Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
「美容整形大国」の中国で、１１月中旬、２４歳の女性タレントが整形手術後に急死する事故があり、その影響で業界が冷え込んでいる。中国紙「北京晨報」などによると、主な医療機関で予約のキャンセルが相次ぎ、従来より４割減少した。書き入れ時の旧正月（来年２月３日）を前に、関係者からは、「こうした状況が３か月～半年は続きそうだ」との声も出ている。
このタレントは、国民的な人気オーディション番組「超級女声」出身。中国中部・湖北省武漢で、アゴの骨を削る手術を受けた際に呼吸困難に陥り、約１日半後死亡した。原因は特定されないままだ。
都市部での富裕層の増大に伴い、「人造美女」（整形美女）を目指す女性は、芸能人から会社員、就職に役立てようとする女子大生に至るまで増える一方だ。衛生省によると、年間数十万人が美容整形手術を受けている。だが、急成長する業界は玉石混交で、誇大広告で暴利をむさぼる業者も少なくない。医療免許がないのに手術を行うところもあり、事故が頻発している。女性タレントの事故を受けて、衛生省では、近く全国的な摘発作戦を展開し、違法業者を取り締まる方針だという。
China, as a "Cosmetic surgery large country", in the middle of November had an accident in which a 24-year-old female talent died suddenly after receiving plastic operation, affected by that the industry had gotten cold. Reservation cancellation came one after another in the main medical institutions, and it had decreased so far by 40 percent according to the Chinese paper "Beijing Morning Post" etc. It was written at the time before the Lunar Chinese New Year (February 3 next year), and the voice of parties concerned was also heard saying that "It seems that such a situation would continue from three months to half a year" .
This talent came from the nationally popular audition program "Super-class female voice". She became unable to breathe when undergoing the operation to trim the jaw bone which took place in Wubei of Wuhan Province, and she died about one and a half days later. The cause could not be specified.
In the city, as the well-to-do population increased, the number of women who aimed at "Artificial beautiful woman" (beautiful woman with plastic operation) kept increasing, from college women who tried to use it to find employment to company employed entertainers. According to the Health ministry, several hundred thousand people a year had received the cosmetic surgery. However, the number of traders of the industry grew rapidly and there was a mixture of good and bad, some made undue profits by exaggerating the advertisement. They continued operating although without medical treatment license, and accidents happened frequently. Noting the female talent's accident, Health Ministry was said to have started in progress a nationwide prosecution operation recently, the target was to band the illegal operators.
I am wondering how could medical operations be carried without a licence from the authority.

日公明党代表訪華
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
中国の胡錦涛国家主席の後継者として有力視される、習近平国家副主席は、北京を訪れている公明党の山口代表と会談し、尖閣諸島沖の衝突事件について「中国として見たくない出来事だった」と述べたうえで、日本と中国の関係改善に努力する考えを示しました。
この中で、習国家副主席は、尖閣諸島沖の中国漁船による衝突事件について「中国としては見たくない、両国の関係に深刻な損害を与える出来事だった」と述べました。そのうえで、習氏は、日中関係について「胡錦涛国家主席や温家宝首相が国際会議の場で菅総理大臣と会談し、改善の方向に向かっている。１日も早く健全な関係になるよう頑張らなければならない。日本をパートナーと見なし、協力していきたい」と述べました。これに対して、山口代表は「民間交流などを通じて関係改善に努力していきたい」と述べ、政党間や民間レベルでの交流を活発化させていくことで一致しました。また、北朝鮮による砲撃やウラン濃縮計画で緊張感が高まる北東アジア情勢について、山口代表が、緊張緩和に向けた中国の積極的な役割に期待を示したのに対して、習氏は、中国と日本が緊密に協力することが重要だという認識を示しました。
After conferring with Yamaguchi the representative of Komeito who was visiting Beijing, and describing the collision event off the coast of Senkaku Islands, the National Vice-President Xue Jinping who was being considered as a highly probable successor of President Hu Jintao in China said that "For China, it was an event that we did not want to see" and showed the idea of making an effort to improve the relationship between Japan and China.
Vice-President Xue Jinping described the collision event of a Chinese fishing boat off the coast of Senkaku Islands saying that "For China it was an event that we did want to see and that had caused serious damage to the relation between the two countries". On matter about Japan-China relation Mr. Xue said ｢President Hu Jintao and the Prime Minister Wen Jiabao had conferred with Prime Minister Kan during the international conference, and is working towards the direction for improvement. As soon as possible, we should work hard to work out a healthy relationship. He wants to consider Japan as a partner, and wants to cooperate｣. In response, Yamaguchi representative said "I want to make an effort to improve relationship through civil exchanges etc.", and were sharing the same goal of activating exchanges between the political parties and the non-government level. Moreover, about the tension in northeast Asia created by the bombardment and the uranium enrichment project by North Korea, representative Yamaguchi showed his expectation that China would take a positive role in calming the tension; in response to that Xue showed his understanding on the importance of a close cooperation between China and Japan.
It is nice to see that both Japan and China are working towards reducing tension in the region.

Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
中国の有名５大学で、日本との交流センターを作る計画が進んでいる。
尖閣諸島沖の漁船衝突事件以来、日中の国民感情が悪化した経緯を踏まえ、学生や研究者の交流を支援して若い世代間の相互理解を深める狙いだ。
中日青年交流センターの建設が予定されているのは、北京大、清華大、復旦大、上海交通大、浙江大。香港の実業家、曹其ヨウ(そうきよう)さん（７１）が各大学に２０００万元（約２億５０００万円）の資金を提供し、学生や研究者用の交流施設や留学生らの宿舎を建設する。
清華大、浙江大、北京大はすでに寄付を受け、残る２大学とも近く合意する見通しだ。

富士重工在中國設立汽車廠
Recently the Mainichi News reported the following:
富士重工業が中国で初めてとなる工場建設に向け、現地メーカーと大詰めの交渉に入ったことが２１日、明らかになった。１３年の稼働を目指しており、実現すれば日本のすべての大手乗用車メーカーが中国進出を果たすことになる。０９年に米国を抜き世界最大となった中国の自動車市場は１１年にさらに伸びて２０００万台を超えると見られる。各社とも、２０日開幕した広州モーターショーでシェア拡大に向けた戦略車をアピール、生産体制の強化などを一段と進める。
富士重は中国の複数の現地メーカーと交渉中だが、新興勢力の奇瑞汽車（安徽省）と合弁で大連市に工場を建設する案が有力。１１年３月末までに決定し、１１年中の着工を目指す。当初年５万台で生産を始め、将来的に１５万台程度に引き上げる。生産車種は四輪駆動の中型車を検討し、販売の合弁会社も設立する見通し。
富士重の海外工場は８９年稼働の米国に続き２カ所目。中国には０４年から本格輸出を始め、１０年度は前年度比約３割増の６万３０００台の販売を計画。現地生産を始めることで１６年３月期には１０万台以上にする考えだ。
日本メーカー各社は中国重視の姿勢を強め、広州モーターショーでも次々に現地車を打ち出している。
トヨタ自動車は小型車「Ｅ’Ｚ（逸致）」とスポーツクーペ「ゼラス」を発表した。トヨタは１０年の中国販売を８０万台程度と見込むが、１１年は１０％以上の増加を計画しており、早期に１００万台超えを果たしたい考えだ。１２年には吉林省長春市の第２工場を稼働させ、生産能力を９２万台に増強する。
It was clarified on the 21st that Fuji Heavy Industries was reaching final negotiations with local manufacturers and for first time it would start factory construction in China. It had aimed at operation in the year 2013, and when that was completed, all major passenger car manufacturers in Japan would finish moving into China. After replacing the US in 2009 as the world's biggest automobile market, the market in China would expect further expansion in 2011 by 20 million. In the Guangzhou Motor Show that began on the 20th, individual companies appealed to strategy cars that aimed at extending their share, and further advancing and strengthening the system of production etc. .
Although Fuji was negotiating with two or more local manufactures in China, the idea of erecting a plant in Tairen City under joint management with the newly emerging Kirui Automobile (Anhui Province) was gaining forceful support. It would be decided by the end of March in 2011, and it aimed at starting construction in mid 2011. Production would start with 50,000 a year at first, then would be improved to about 150,000 in the future. As for the production model, the medium-size car of the four-wheel drive was expected to be reviewed, and a joint venture company would be established for its sales.
For Fuji this would be the second overseas factory following the United States that operated in 1989. Formal export to China was started in 2004, and in 2010, sales was planned to reach 63,000, roughly a 30 percent increase in sales compared with the previous year. It was thought that it would become 100,000 or more by starting the on-site production for the period up to March, 2016.
The posture for Japanese manufactures to value China was strong, and in the Guangzhou Motor Show on site car maker came out one after another.
Toyota Motor announced the compact car "E' Z (Yizhi )" and sports coupe "Zerasu". It was expected that sales for 2010 would be 800,000; for the year 2011 the plan was an increase of 10% or more, and thinking that it would accomplish exceeding one million in an early stage. The second factory in Changchun city of Jilin Province would be operative in 2012, and production capacity would then be reinforced by 920,000.
It is noted that despite the recent diplomatic trouble between China and Japan, business ties between the two countries continue as usual.

空機利用者の衣類の下を透視して、金属探知機には反応しない不審物を発見する装置「ボディースキャナー」について、国土交通省は８日、国内の空港で行っている保安検査の手段の一つとして認め、各航空会社が装置を検査に導入できるよう、今月中にも航空安全のガイドラインを変更すると発表した。
発表によると、国土交通省は７～９月、ボディースキャナー５機種の実証実験を成田空港で実施。その結果、電磁波の一つ「ミリ波」を乗客に照射し、体の線を鮮明に映し出す１機種について、乗客らを検査員が直接触って確認する「接触検査」と同等の検知能力があると評価した。各航空会社が今後、導入するかどうかを判断する。
About the "Body Scanner" that could see through the clothes of air travellers, and to detect suspicious things that a metal detector could not discover, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 8th that the guideline on Airlines safety was changed so that scanners might be taken as one of the means for security inspection to be carried out in a domestic airports, and each airline may introduce this inspecting device by the end of this month.
According the announcement, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport carried out the proving tests on five models of the body scanners in New Tokyo International Airport from July to September. As a result, it was evaluated that when the "Millimeter wave" , being one kind of the electro-magnetic radiation was radiated directly at the passenger, the body line was clearly projected, and it was confirmed that it had an equal sensing capability as "Contact Inspection" that the inspecting personnel could feel. In future, it would be up to individual airlines to decide whether to introduce it.
For security purpose, the installation of body scanners at the airport is understandable.

日本大學生就業難
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
大学生をめぐる雇用情勢が厳しさを増していることを受け、政府と経済界それに大学の関係者が意見を交わす懇話会の初会合が開かれ、大学側は、企業の採用活動の早期化は、学生の教育機会の減少につながるとして是正するよう求めました。
初会合で、冒頭、高木文部科学大臣があいさつし、「大学生の就職内定率がたいへん厳しい状況になっており、政府は、雇用問題を当面の最大の課題にして取り組んでいる。就職活動が、学生と企業の双方にとってよりよいものになるよう意見交換してほしい」と述べました。会合では、企業の採用活動の時期について意見が交わされ、大学側は「企業の採用活動の早期化により、学生の教育機会が相当減っている」と懸念を示しました。これに対し、経済界側から「問題が深刻なのは理解している」といった意見が出る一方で「外資系企業も採用活動を行うなか、日本の企業だけ採用時期を遅らせるのは難しい」といった指摘も出されました。懇話会は、今後も定期的に会合を開き、大学生の雇用問題をめぐって意見を交わすことにしています。
It was admitted that the employment situation of university students was facing increased severity, and the university opened the first opinion exchange gathering meeting for friendly discussion for concerned parties of the university, the government and the business world; and requested changes to the early stage recruitment activity held by the enterprise which was assumed to have caused a reduction in student's educational opportunity.
In the first meeting, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Takagi started with his greetings and said that ｢The rate for university students to find initial employment is in a very severe situation, and the government makes the question on employment the immediate, biggest problem and is working on it. I want you to exchange opinions so that job hunting may become better for both the student and the enterprise｣. In the meeting, the opinion on the timing of recruitment activities by the enterprise was exchanged, and the university expressed concern that "Student's educational opportunity was correspondingly reduced due to the early stage recruitment activity of the enterprise". In response to this, from the business world the opinion expressed was that "the seriousness of the problem was understood", it was also pointed out that "It was difficult for the Japanese businesses to delay the employment time schedule while the foreign companies did the employment activity". The gathering for friendly discussion would have regularly sessions in the future, and it was decided to exchange opinions on questions about university student's employment.
It seems that university student employment situation in Japan is causing concern for the government.

東京・池袋の東武百貨店で2010年7月、高級腕時計などおよそ1,650万円相当が盗まれた事件で、警視庁は「爆窃団」のメンバーとみられる自称中国人の男3人を逮捕した。

北韓與蒙古關係友好(維基解密)
Recently the Asahi News reported the following:
北朝鮮が核問題を巡る６者協議の脱退を表明した後の昨年８月、北朝鮮高官が友好関係にあるモンゴル政府との協議で、中国とロシアへの批判を繰り返していたことが米国の外交公電で分かった。
民間告発サイト「ウィキリークス」が暴露した在ウランバートル米大使館発の公電を、英ガーディアン紙がネット上に掲載した。
それによると、当時の北朝鮮の金永日（キム・ヨンイル）外務次官（現・朝鮮労働党国際部長）が昨年８月、モンゴル政府との定例協議の際に「６者協議には決して戻らない」と言明。中ロが国連安全保障理事会で北朝鮮を非難する決議に賛同したことを挙げ、両国批判を３、４回繰り返した。
さらに金氏は、日米韓に中ロも加勢し、６者協議は「５対１になった」と指摘。「６者協議の真の意図は北朝鮮の体制破壊だ」とし、米国との直接対話への賛同を「熱烈に」訴えたという。こうした内容をモンゴル側が米政府側に説明した。
北朝鮮は昨年４月、安保理が弾道ミサイル発射を非難する議長声明を全会一致で採択したことを受け、６者協議脱退を表明。５月には２回目の核実験を強行し、安保理は６月、制裁決議を採択した。
It was understood from made open US diplomatic official telegrams that China and Russia had made repeated criticism at top North Korean officials' friendly relations with Mongolian government after the latter declared in last August its secession from the six-party talks regarding the nuclear issue.
The British Guardian newspaper published the official telegrams of US embassy stationed at Ulan Bator that had been exposed in the Internet by the private site "WikiLeaks". According to it, when Kim Yoniru of North Korea, at that time the Foreign Secretary (now the director of Worker's Party International Department) conferred in regular meetings with Mongolian government in August last year, he declared that "Never return to six-party talks". It led China and Russia to agree with the UN Security Council's resolution to criticize North Korea, and the two countries repeated their criticism three to four times.
In addition, Kim pointed out that China-Russia then supported Japan-U.S.-South Korea, and that the six-party talks "Became 5:1". It was said that "The true intention of the six-party talks is to destroy the North Korea system", and was said that he told "ardently" his agreement to have direct talks with the United States. Mongolia disclosed such a content to the U.S. government.
Last April, after noting the adoption by unanimous approval in Security Council over its chairman's statement that criticized the lunching of ballistic missile, North Korea declared its breaking from the six-party talks. In May two nuclear tests were forced through, then the Security Council adopted the punishment resolution in June.
The documents have shed light on why North Korea carried out two nuclear tests last year, and shows that North Korea distrusted the six-party talks very much.

中國反對日本成為安理会常任理事(維基解密)
Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
日本の国連安全保障理事会常任理事国入りについて、中国が強い反意を米国に伝えていたことなどが、内部告発サイト「ウィキリークス」が順次公開している米国務省の外交公電で明らかになった。
同サイトによると、中国の外務次官は昨年４月、北京の米大使館関係者に対し、国連安保理の常任理事国が１０か国に倍増すれば、米中関係は「厄介なことになる」とし、「中国国民にとって日本を常任理事国として受け入れることは困難だ」と伝えた。これに対し、米大使館関係者は「国連予算の第２位の拠出国・日本を含まない拡大は考えにくい」と答えていた。
また、中国当局者は昨年６月、北京の米大使館関係者に、「北朝鮮の拉致問題に執着する日本は、物事を壊す力は持っているが、解決する力は持たない」と述べた。さらに昨年４月の公電で、中国の外務次官は、米国との直接交渉を望む北朝鮮について、「（米国などの）『大人』の関心を引こうとする『駄々っ子』のようだ」と発言。中国側が北朝鮮の存在を持て余している様子がうかがえる。
It was clarified in the whistle-blowing site "WikiLeaks" which opened up diplomatic official telegrams of the State Department one by one, that China had been telling the United States its strong objection over giving a permanent UN Security Council membership to Japan.
According to the same site, last April, China Foreign Secretary's official related a message to people who had ties with US. embassy in Beijing saying that if doubling the permanent membership of U.N. Security Council to ten countries, Sino-U.S. relationship would "Become a troublesome thing", and told that "It is difficult for the Chinese people to accept Japan as a permanent member". The person who had ties with the U.S. embassy answered that "It is not easy to think of an expansion which Japan as the 2nd place donor country of the United Nations budget was not included".
Moreover, Chinese officials said to the people in Beijing who were related to the U.S. embassy last June that "Japan was attaching too much importance to the abduction issue caused by North Korea and that had a force of messing up things instead of being a force for solving problems". In addition, in the opened up official telegrams, in April last year, China Foreign Secretary's officials remarked that "Regarding North Korea it always hoped for a direct negotiation with the United States and tried to draw attention of "adults" (the United States etc.) like a spoiled child." It looked as if China was unable to manage North Korea.
The hearsay is interesting but not unfamiliar. I am wondering if China could give a better reason for rejecting Japan to become a member of the UN Security Council.

橫濱唐人街沒有米紫蓮星級唐餐館
Recently the Asahi News reported the following:
グルメ本の権威「ミシュランガイド」で、２０１１年版から東京のほかに横浜と鎌倉の店が新たに加わった。横浜と言えば、２００店以上の飲食店が立ち並ぶ世界最大級のチャイナタウン・横浜中華街。街から星つきの店が出るだろうと地元は期待してきたが、２４日に発表された掲載リストに中華料理店は一軒もなかった。
「高級から庶民の味まで、あらゆる店がある。いろいろな店で本当に食べてくれたのか」。中華街で観光客誘致の先頭に立っている「謝甜記（しゃてんき）」社長の謝成発さんは不満を漏らす。
横浜市であった記者発表によると、横浜エリアに三つ星はなく、二つ星は日本料理の２軒だけ。文明開化の代名詞・牛鍋の元祖など１４軒が一つ星だった。謝さんは発表直前まで「星がついたら海外からの観光客も増えるだろう」と期待していただけに、ショックを隠さない。
ミシュランは事前に横浜で約３００軒をリストアップ。昨年から覆面調査員が訪問を重ねたという。中華街のある経営者は「２０軒ぐらいに調査員が食べに来たようだ」と話し、確かに調査はあったようだ。この経営者は「中華街の高級店は大型店が多く、ミシュランが好む、シェフの顔が分かるような中小規模の店は少ない」と「敗因」を分析してみせた。
中華街は国内外から年間約２千万人が訪れる観光名所でもある。別の中華街関係者は「最近は食べ放題の店が増えて、店を閉めた老舗（しにせ）も多い」と街の様変わりを指摘する。「店ごとに狙う客層が違う。すべての店がミシュランを目指すわけではないよ」
前向きな声もある。老舗の一つ「広東飯店」の鐘上智（しょうじょうち）常務は「うちは星のレベルに達していないと思っていた」とあくまで謙虚。「サービス水準の向上など目標にはなると思う。今回の結果を糧に、来年は中華街から一つでも選ばれるように頑張れたら」と語った。
１０月に発表になった「京都・大阪・神戸」版でも、神戸の中華街「南京町」の店は選ばれていない。
In the authoritative gourmet book "Michelin Guide", shops in Yokohama and Kamakura besides those in Tokyo were newly added to the 2011 edition. Talking about Yokohama, Yokohama China Street was the largest among the world class Chinatowns that lined up with over 200 restaurants. Although these locals had been been expecting that some shops with stars would come out, in the published list announced on the 24th, there was not even one Chinese restaurant.
｢All shops with taste from high class to popular are here. Is it not that you can really eat in different kinds of shops｣｡Xie Chengfat the president of "Shatenki" which stood at the front of Chinatown to attract tourists in Chinatown expressed dissatisfaction. According to a press release in Yokohama city, there were only two-star Japanese restaurants and three-star could no be found in Yokohama area. There were 14 one-star such as the pronoun for civilization and enlightenment - the originator of the beef sukiyaki. Mr. Xie did not conceal the shock because immediately before the announcement he waited with the expectation that "The number of tourists from foreign countries will also increase if a star is attached". Michelin listed up about 300 restaurants in Yokohama beforehand. It was said that the undercover investigators did the visit repeatedly last year. A manager from Chinatown said "The investigators seemed to have come to about 20 restaurants to eat", and certainly there seemed to have an investigation. This manager went on analyzing that "the cause of failure" was that "luxury stores in the Chinatown were mostly mega stores, Michelin liked that; and noticeable chef's face in medium and small-sized scale shops was not many". The Chinatown was a tourist spot with about 20 million people a year visiting from the inside and outside the country. Another person related to the Chinatown pointed out the change of the town , saying that "The number of shops of all-you-can-eat increases recently, and there are lots of established business houses (old shop with standing) being closed". ｢The clientele that individual shops aim at is different. All shops are not aiming at Michelin. ｣
There was a positive voice, too. Mr Zhong Shangzhi the managing director of a long-established old shop "The Guangdong Restaurant" was modest to the end, saying that "It was not thought that it had reached the level of star". It was said ｢I think about making service improvement up to star level as the target. Based on the result of this year, if doing your best, one could be chosen from the Chinatown next year｣. As for "Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe" edition announced in October, the shop "Nanjing-cho" in Chinatown of Kobe was not chosen either.
The disappointment of Chinatown restaurant owners was understandable. Star means business.

１０月に発表になった「京都・大阪・神戸」版でも、神戸の中華街「南京町」の店は選ばれていない。
In the authoritative gourmet book "Michelin Guide", shops in Yokohama and Kamakura besides those in Tokyo were newly added to the 2011 edition. Talking about Yokohama, Yokohama China Street was the largest among the world class Chinatowns that lined up with over 200 restaurants. Although these locals had been been expecting that some shops with stars would come out, in the published list announced on the 24th, there was not even one Chinese restaurant.
｢All shops with taste from high class to popular are here. Is it not that you can really eat in different kinds of shops｣｡Xie Chengfat the president of "Shatenki" which stood at the front of Chinatown to attract tourists in Chinatown expressed dissatisfaction. According to a press release in Yokohama city, there were only two-star Japanese restaurants and three-star could no be found in Yokohama area. There were 14 one-star such as the pronoun for civilization and enlightenment - the originator of the beef sukiyaki. Mr. Xie did not conceal the shock because immediately before the announcement he waited with the expectation that "The number of tourists from foreign countries will also increase if a star is attached". Michelin listed up about 300 restaurants in Yokohama beforehand. It was said that the undercover investigators did the visit repeatedly last year. A manager from Chinatown said "The investigators seemed to have come to about 20 restaurants to eat", and certainly there seemed to have an investigation. This manager went on analyzing that "the cause of failure" was that "luxury stores in the Chinatown were mostly mega stores, Michelin liked that; and noticeable chef's face in medium and small-sized scale shops was not many". The Chinatown was a tourist spot with about 20 million people a year visiting from the inside and outside the country. Another person related to the Chinatown pointed out the change of the town , saying that "The number of shops of all-you-can-eat increases recently, and there are lots of established business houses (old shop with standing) being closed". ｢The clientele that individual shops aim at is different. All shops are not aiming at Michelin. ｣
There was a positive voice, too. Mr Zhong Shangzhi the managing director of a long-established old shop "The Guangdong Restaurant" was modest to the end, saying that "It was not thought that it had reached the level of star". It was said ｢I think about making service improvement up to star level as the target. Based on the result of this year, if doing your best, one could be chosen from the Chinatown next year｣. As for "Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe" edition announced in October, the shop "Nanjing-cho" in Chinatown of Kobe was not chosen either.
The disappointment of Chinatown restaurant owners was understandable. Star means business.

南韓再受攻擊可能性高

韓国の情報機関、国家情報院は、１日、北朝鮮が、ヨンピョン島への砲撃を受けて態度を硬化させているイ・ミョンバク政権に対し揺さぶりをかけるため、「さらなる攻撃に出る可能性が濃厚だ」という見方を示しました。
韓国の情報機関、国家情報院のウォン・セフン院長は、１日、国会の情報委員会に出席し、北朝鮮によるヨンピョン島への砲撃について報告しました。情報委員会は非公開で行われましたが、出席した国会議員によりますと、この中で、ウォン院長は、今回の砲撃の背景について、韓国が先月のＧ２０サミット開催を通じて国際的な地位を向上させたことへの焦りに加えて、権力の世襲やひっ迫した経済に対する北朝鮮国内の批判をかわす必要があったと説明しました。そのうえで、ウォン院長は、北朝鮮は、今回の砲撃を受けて態度を硬化させているイ・ミョンバク政権に対し揺さぶりをかけるため、「さらなる攻撃に出る可能性が濃厚だ」という見方を示しました。韓国軍は、北朝鮮の新たな挑発を抑え込むため、１日までアメリカ軍との合同軍事演習を行ったのに続いて、今月６日からは独自の砲撃訓練を実施する予定で、国家情報院では、北朝鮮の今後の動向に関する情報の収集と分析に全力を挙げることにしています。
