The problem with Japan from a global perspective is that it has all the technology but there are no shipments for military use (p81)
・In reality, the settlement system interferes with trade between China and Russia due to Western production, and some trade is in the form of barter. It depends on how quickly China can develop a payment system, and that depends on Chinese banks. However, Chinese banks are too dependent on dollar-denominated assets and are deathly afraid of taking risks. This is the reality in China (p87)
・The anti-Chinese hawks' perception is that the Ukraine War is a proxy war by China against the United States, and Russia has been used as such a tool. It has been analyzed that the purpose of Beijing is to damage the trust of NATO allies in support from the United States, divide the allies, and weaken the United States and Russia by a new eternal war (p89)
・President Trump, who says that Putin became the puppet of President Xi Jinping, criticized that Ukrainian President Zelensky continues to resist, that Europe supports it, and that President Xi Jinping has now acquiesced to the continuation of the war to the extent of Russia (p91)

・In 2011, he surpassed Japan in terms of GDP Xi Jinping launched the “Belt and Road Initiative” in 2013, the peak of fund supply was in 2014, and in this year alone, 50 billion dollars or more were lent to developing countries around the world for civil engineering projects. Eventually, criticism broke out around the world for being a “debt trap,” and it drastically decreased to 18 billion dollars in 2019, and China was unable to continue loan services as a fund supplier due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the total amount that China has lent under bilateral agreements to date has surpassed the size of the Paris Club, and 54 of the 120 developing countries are unable to pay excess debt.
