中国共産党ナンバー４の賈慶林・政治局常務委員（人民政治協商会議主席）は１６日、来年１月の台湾総統選を前に談話を発表した。
談話は、中台が「一つの中国」原則で歩み寄ったとされる１９９２年の「９２年合意」を否定すれば「中台双方の利益が損なわれる」として、合意を否定する野党・民進党候補の蔡英文主席をけん制する内容で、国民党の馬英九総統再選の支持を中国指導部として初めて示すものとなった。
総統選への介入とも言える談話発表に踏み切ったのは、独立志向の強い蔡氏が当選する可能性が排除できない現状への焦りから「中台交流停滞の可能性をちらつかせて台湾世論に揺さぶりをかける」（台湾メディア関係者）狙いだったとの見方が出ている。

On the 16th Jia Qinglin, the number 4 man in the Chinese Communist Party's politburo standing committee (also as the President of the People's Political Consultative Conference) had released his comments ahead of the Taiwan presidential election scheduled for January next year.
He commented that while compromising the "one China principle", "the benefits of both China and Taiwan would be affected" if the "92-year agreement" reached in 1992 between China and Taiwan was rejected. The content of these comments would check Ms. Cai Yingwen, the Chairman of the opposition party - the Democratic Progressive Party candidate who denied the agreement. It became the first occasion for the China Guidance Department to show support for the re-election of the National Party's President Ma Yingjeou.
The decision to release the discussion content was said to be an intervention in the presidential election, and could be seen as out of the worry over the fact that the possibility for the strongly independent-oriented Ms. Cai to be elected could be not be ruled out; it had the aim "to stir up Taiwan public opinion (people that had media connection in Taiwan) noting the looming possibility of a stagnation in the China-Taiwan exchange".
I think it is wise for Mainland China not to be seen interfering the presidential election in Taiwan.

日本設定奶類等食物幅射安全標準
Recently the Mainichi News on-line reported the following:
食品に含まれる放射性セシウムの新たな規制値について、厚生労働省は２０日、新設する粉ミルクなどの「乳児用食品」は１キロあたり５０ベクレル、子供がよく飲む「牛乳」も同５０ベクレルなどとする案をまとめた。全世代で摂取量が多い「飲料水」は最も厳しい同１０ベクレル、現行の「野菜類」「穀類」「肉・卵・魚・その他」の３区分を一つにまとめた「一般食品」は同１００ベクレルとした。
厚労省は１０月、規制値の算定根拠となる被ばく線量の上限を、年間５ミリシーベルトから１ミリシーベルトへ引き下げることを決めた。これに伴い、食品の規制値も現行の１キロあたり２００～５００ベクレルより厳しくする。
具体的には、子供は放射性物質の感受性が高く影響を受けやすいため、「乳児用食品」と「牛乳」は一般食品の半分の同５０ベクレル。「飲料水」はＷＨＯ（世界保健機関）の指針に基づき同１０ベクレルとした。２２日に開かれる薬事・食品衛生審議会の放射性物質対策部会に提案。了承されれば文部科学省の放射線審議会に諮問し、国民からの意見募集も行って来年４月の施行を目指す。

The new regulations on the amount of radioactive cesium that could be allowed in food had come into shape; on the 20th the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare regarding the newly established "the food for babies" such as powdered milk proposed to be at 50 Bq per km, and "milk" such as powdered milk that children often drank should also be at the 50 Bq. The "drinking water", with its many general intakes had the most severe control and it was set at 10Bq; the present "green stuff", "cereals", and "meat, egg, and fish and others" 3 categories were lumped into one category called "common food" and was set at 100 Bq.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in October based on the maximum dose of radioactivity in calculating the regulated value, decided to reduce the amount from the 5-mm sievert per year to a 1-mm sievert. In connection with this, the regulated value on food was 200 to 500 Bq per km stricter than the regulated value now in force.
Specifically, since children were highly susceptible to radioactive materials, "the food for babies" and "milk" were the set at 50 Bq, being half the amount for common food. "Drinking water" was set at 10 Bq based on the indicator of WHO (World Health Organization). All proposals would be sent to the radioactive material measure committee of the Council on Drugs and Food Sanitation held on the 22nd. If accepted, the Radiation Council of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology would do enquiry, performing opinion collection from people, and aimed at their enforcement in April next year.
Probably these new safety standards could ease the worry of some people in Japan. I am wondering whether the milk powder for babies sold overseas would be subjected to the same standard.

This was the 3rd phase, following a series of sales carried out nationwide in July this year: the popular "Nissin cup noodle rice" and "the seafood".
This injection of a new brand-name product aimed at the further expansion of market. The popular cup noodle "U-F-O-" was made with finely minced noodle dried by hot wind, and then mixed with the dried rice. In order to give out the flavor of fried noodles, the fragrance of flied noodle was added to the sauce also. "Sobameshi" was the stir-fried noodle together with the boiled rice; it was considered having an origin in the Nagata district of Kobe city. Since there were many consumers who had got used to it, Kinki was opted for the pilot sales. A manufacturer's suggested price was 250 yen (excluding tax) per piece. There would be extensive sales all over the country next spring, the targeted annual sales was 2 billion yen.
As for the boiled rice cup noodle which had its pilot sales carried out in Kinki in August 2010, the sales in the year ending July 2011 amounted to over 5 times of the original target. Regarding the nationwide sales starting from July 2011, the aim was an annual sales of 5 billion yen . Nissin continued to develop new products and held up a 10 billion yen sales target per year in cup rice series.
Without any doubt, Japan is number one in the invention and production of cup noodles.

岩手、宮城、福島縣失業率高企
Recently the Yomiuri News on-line reported the following:
東日本大震災は１１日、発生から９か月となる。
岩手、宮城、福島３県では失業手当受給者が昨年より６割増えており、雇用情勢は依然として厳しい。来年１月以降は、給付期限が切れる人が出始める見通しで、雇用の創出が課題になりそうだ。警察庁の９日現在のまとめでは、死者１万５８４１人。行方不明者３４９３人。避難者は約３３万人に上っている。
厚生労働省によると、１０月に失業手当（延長給付を除く）を受給したのは、３県で計４万９８４８人。昨年同月と比べて５９・７％の増加で、震災による勤務先の廃業などが影響しているとみられる。通常の給付期限は最短９０日だが、特例で最大２１０日間延長されている。
一方、津波被害を受けた沿岸部や東京電力福島第一原発周辺にある３県の４２市町村のうち、約８割の３３市町村が復興計画を策定済みか、年内に策定することが各自治体への取材でわかった。３２市町村が高台や内陸への集団移転を盛り込むか、検討中としている。
(試譯文)
On the 11th, the East Japan great earthquake would be nine months old since the event had happened.
The number of people on the dole had increased by 60 percent compared to last year, and the employment situation was still severe in the 3 prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.
In January next year and thereafter, people with their grants expired were expected to begin to appear, and the creation of employment would likely become a subject. In a summary done by the National Police Agency as up to the 9th, there were 15,841 people dead, 3,493 people missing. The number of people seeking refuge went up to about 330,000.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the total number of people who received the unemployment allowance (except for extended grant) in October was 49,848 in the three prefectures. It was a 59.7% increase compared with the same month last year, being seen as due to the discontinuance of business of office as a result of the earthquake disaster, etc. Although the usual shortest grant term was 90 days, it would be extended to a maximum of 210 days as an exception.
On the other hand, it was understood that among the 42 cities, towns and villages in these three prefectures which were at the area along the shore that had suffered from the tsunami damage, and from the first nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Fukushima, 33 of them or about 80 percent had already formulated a recovery program. For those that had not done so they would made their recovery plan before the year end, as learned from the media coverage. There were 32 cities, towns and villages that were still considering whether to move to heights or inland in group.
The areas that have suffered most from the 3.11 disaster are trying to cope with the situation.

日本檢討電力政策
Recently the NHK News on-line reported the following:
エネルギー政策の見直しに伴って、発電方式ごとのコストを検証している政府の委員会が開かれ、原子力発電のコストは、事故の際の賠償費用などを含めると、これまでの試算よりも５割程度高くなるなどとした、報告書の素案をまとめました。
報告書の素案では、原子力発電のコストについて、１キロワットアワー当たり、最低でも８．９円としており、これまでの試算の５．９円に比べると、５割程度高くなっています。これは、東京電力福島第一原子力発電所の事故でこれまでに明らかになった賠償費用や、使用済み核燃料の処分に必要な費用などを加味した結果だということです。一方、素案では、石炭と液化天然ガスを燃料とする火力発電のコストについては、１キロワットアワー当たり１０円前後と試算し、コスト面で原子力発電と競争できると指摘しています。また、住宅向けの太陽光発電は、今後の量産効果などによって、２０３０年には、最低で１キロワットアワー当たり９．９円までコストが下がる可能性があるとしています。委員会は、こうした試算について、１３日の議論を踏まえて、一部修正を加えたうえで、１９日にも報告書をまとめ、新しいエネルギー政策の全体像を決める関係閣僚会議に提出することにしています。
(試譯文)
While also doing the re-examination of the energy policy at the same time, the government's committee which checked the cost for all power generation methods was held; in a draft report the cost of nuclear power generation calculated so far presupposed that it would be about 50 percent higher than the old trial calculation when compensatory expenses in case of an accident etc. were included.
By a draft report, it was considered that the cost of nuclear power generation was at least 8.9 yen per kilowatt-hour, which was about 50 percent higher compared with 5.9 yen of old trial calculation done so far. It was the result of after taking into account the compensatory expenses which had become clear now regarding the accident at the number one nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Fukushima, and also expenses required to dispose the used nuclear fuel etc. On the other hand, by the draft, regarding the cost of thermal power generation which used coal and liquefied natural gas as fuel, the trial calculation was around 10 yen per kilowatt-hour, indicating that it could compete with nuclear power generation in respect of cost. Moreover, regarding housing-oriented photovoltaic, the cost might decline to as low as 9.9 yen per kilowatt-hour in 2030 because of volume efficiency etc. in the future. On the 13th, based on such a trial calculation the committee would hold discussion and add partial correction; it also would compile a report on the 19th and present it to the ministerial conference which would determine the overall picture of the new energy policy.
It seems that Japan would be reviewing their reliance on nuclear energy.

中國汽車銷售量下跌
Recently the NHK News on-line reported the following:
中国の先月の新車の販売台数は、１６５万台余りで、前の年の同じ月に比べ、２．４パーセント減少して、２か月連続のマイナスとなり、経済成長をけん引してきた自動車産業が低迷し、景気が落ち込むのではないかという懸念が広がっています。
中国自動車工業協会は９日、先月の新車の販売台数が１６５万６０００台となり、前の年の同じ月に比べ、２．４パーセント減少したと発表しました。中国の新車販売が、前の年の同じ月に比べ、マイナスとなったのは２か月連続です。これは、中国政府による燃費のよい車の購入に対する補助金の支給基準が、ことし１０月から厳しくなったことに加え、ヨーロッパの信用不安の影響への懸念から、高額の消費を控える動きが広がったためとみられています。中国の新車販売は、去年、おととしと比べて３２パーセント多い１８０６万台に達し、２年連続でアメリカを抑えて世界一となりました。しかし、ことしは先月までの累計が１６８１万台余りにとどまっており、最終的な販売台数は去年を上回るものの、増加率は大幅に下がり、数パーセントになるとみられています。中国経済をけん引してきた自動車産業は、鉄鋼などの原材料から電子部品まで幅広い産業と関連しており、低迷によって景気が落ち込むのではないかという懸念が広がっています。
(試譯文)
The number of new cars sold in Chinese last month was a little more than 1,650,000 vehicles, a decrease of 2.4% compared with the same month of the previous year and was a minus for two continuing months; the auto industry which had been driving the economic growth had slowed down and there was spreading concern whether its a downward trend from good business.
The China auto industry association announced on the 9th that the number of new cars sales last month was 1,656,000, and that was a decrease by 2.4% when compared with the same month of the previous year. It was a two-month continuation that Chinese new car registration was a minus compared with the same month of the previous year. This was regarded as due to a growth in a movement which refrained from large consumption because of the concern over the influence of European credit insecurity, coupled with the stringent conditions eligible for the subsidy provision from the Chinese government for the purchase of cars that had efficient fuel consumption, effective from October this year. Chinese new car registration last year amounted to 18,060,000 vehicles and was a 32% increase compared with the year before last, superseding the United States for two consecutive years and became the world's No.1. However, although the 16,810,000 total last month remained huge and the final volume of sales this year might exceed last year, but the rate of increase had fallen sharply and it was expected to be a few percent. The auto industry which had been driving the Chinese economy was extensively connected to raw materials industry from steel etc to electronic components, and concern had been spreading on whether this decrease was a downturn in business.
So some parts of the Chinese economy are begining to cool down as intended.

The number of new cars sold in Chinese last month was a little more than 1,650,000 vehicles, a decrease of 2.4% compared with the same month of the previous year and was a minus for two continuing months; the auto industry which had been driving the economic growth had slowed down and there was spreading concern whether its a downward trend from good business.
The China auto industry association announced on the 9th that the number of new cars sales last month was 1,656,000, and that was a decrease by 2.4% when compared with the same month of the previous year. It was a two-month continuation that Chinese new car registration was a minus compared with the same month of the previous year. This was regarded as due to a growth in a movement which refrained from large consumption because of the concern over the influence of European credit insecurity, coupled with the stringent conditions eligible for the subsidy provision from the Chinese government for the purchase of cars that had efficient fuel consumption, effective from October this year. Chinese new car registration last year amounted to 18,060,000 vehicles and was a 32% increase compared with the year before last, superseding the United States for two consecutive years and became the world's No.1. However, although the 16,810,000 total last month remained huge and the final volume of sales this year might exceed last year, but the rate of increase had fallen sharply and it was expected to be a few percent. The auto industry which had been driving the Chinese economy was extensively connected to raw materials industry from steel etc to electronic components, and concern had been spreading on whether this decrease was a downturn in business.
So some parts of the Chinese economy are begining to cool down as intended.
