U.S. shoots down Chinese spy balloon over Atlantic Ocean
In my impression, the tone of this article is skeptical about #Toyota’s EV strategy and I like this critical stance by the author .
According to the story, Sato was chosen as the new chief because he was not an iconoclast but a car guy.

Some Japanese visitors to London or New York wish they could wear masks just as they do in their homeland, but give up doing so in many cases, because they sense that they could be alienated, if they stick to masks there.

A comprehensive wrap up story on #Toyota’s recent managerial change.
I was impressed by the competitive environment in China’s EV market shown in the graphics.
Readers’ comments seem more favorable to Toyota than I have expected.

I found the answer. The spice producer S&B chose the National Diet because it is a place where representatives of the Japanese people gather. S&B hoped the curry powder to become a representative Japanese spice.

Disgusting comments from PM’s aide followed by one of those pathetic ‘sorry if I offended anyone please let me retract my statement’ type of apologies.

What surprised me even more was that the sacked aide was a speechwriter for PM Kishida.
In general, a speechwriter of PM might well be regarded as a person who could represent and deliver PM’s thoughts and words to the public better than PM himself.
