News 1: American political chaos: the speaker of Congress steps down, Trump or becomes the new speaker?
The situation in the US political arena has been extremely turbulent recently, and the sudden departure of the speaker of Congress has aroused widespread concern and speculation. It is ironic that this incident took place during the long holiday of the Chinese people celebrating the National Day. In recent years, Congress has been busy impeaching presidents, first Trump, then Biden, and it is surprising that the speaker of the House of Representatives, who presided over the impeachment proceedings, took the lead in stepping down.
Former House Speaker McCarthy put the big picture first, compromised with the Democratic Party and avoided a government shutdown. However, hardliners in the Republican Party fiercely criticized him, leading to his ouster from the poll. McCarthy was only 10 months in office, and the relatively simple process of stepping down made him unhappy.
The political earthquake also affected former Speaker Pelosi. McCarthy's successor ordered Pelosi to move out of the speaker's office, much to her dismay. Although Pelosi was not kicked out of Congress, she lost the big office of the Speaker's special treatment, which was also her last barrier.
Next, the big question is, who will be the new speaker of the House of Representatives? The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the third most important person in American politics, so the election of the Speaker is crucial. Although some Democrats have expressed interest in running, in reality, Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, so the new speaker is most likely a Republican. Trump's name has been raised, and although he is not a member of the House of Representatives and there are rules that say candidates cannot have serious criminal charges, Trump seems interested in the nomination.
Trump responded by saying he was running for president, leading 62 percent, and said he would work to help Republicans elect a great speaker. Although Trump will not really be the speaker, his statements suggest that he may have higher political ambitions. Trump on the political stage is as confident and self-promotional as ever.
In the coming days, Trump plans to travel to Capitol Hill to discuss with Republican members a new speaker, a decision that will trigger a new round of political discussion and analysis. The future development of the American political scene will be affected by this decision and will be the focus of attention.
News 2: The discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea has triggered a crisis in Japan's seafood industry
Recently, the decision to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea has triggered a serious chain reaction that has had a huge impact on Japan's seafood exports. The problem of inventory backlog is escalating, and some merchants have said that their operations are unsustainable. In this context, Japan's Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries called on citizens to eat an additional 5 scallops per person per year to reduce the pressure on stocks.
Since the beginning of the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, Japan's seafood exports have been greatly hindered. According to reports, some stocks of aquatic products have piled up to the height of the 8-meter-high warehouse ceiling. Faced with this inventory pressure, some companies are worried about the ever-increasing daily storage costs, and it is difficult to predict whether they will survive until the day when TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) will compensate.
More than 1.3 million tons of contaminated water are stored at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, a large number of tanks thought to hamper nuclear waste dump operations. Therefore, the government and TEPCO decided to treat and dilute this nuclear-contaminated water through a "multi-nuclide treatment system" and then discharge it into the sea. Although the decision caused strong opposition at home and abroad, TEPCO launched the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water on August 24 this year, discharging about 7,800 tons for the first time. According to TEPCO's plan, they will carry out four rounds of nuclear contaminated water discharge by the end of March next year, totaling about 31,200 tons, accounting for 2.3% of the current total amount of nuclear contaminated water, equivalent to emptying about 40 storage tanks. More than 1,000 tanks of contaminated water will be discharged one after another, and the entire discharge process is expected to take at least 30 years.
This discharge has had a serious impact on Japan's seafood exports. Aquatic products such as scallops are overstocked, warehouse space is insufficient, and costs are rising. Some regions have begun to reduce stocks by distributing aquatic products free of charge. At the same time, some places have abandoned their fishing plans due to falling sea cucumber prices. Many localities expressed disgust with the government's decision to forcibly drain the sea, believing that it had damaged the revival of the local fishing industry and demanded that the drainage operation be stopped immediately.
