USA:s president Donald Trump har genomfört en Asienturne med stopp i Malaysia, Japan och Sydkorea och träffat de viktigaste ledarna för enskilda samtal.Frågar man Trump var resan en succé - ett storslaget möte med Kinas president Xi Jin-ping - “en tolva på en skala av tio”. Och ett minst lika bra besök i Tokyo där Trump fick träffa såväl det japanska kejsaparet som den nytillträdda premiärministern Takaichi Sanae - den första kvinnan på posten.Med idag för att reda ut vad Trumps resa egentligen utmynnade i är, precis som förra veckans, Jojje Olsson journalist och författare bosatt i Taiwan där han driver nyhetsbrevet Kinamedia med tillhörande podcast “Kinamedia-Nya Kalla Kriget”. Jojje är också tidningen Expressen medarbetare i Taiwan.Det blir också en lägesrapport om vad som händer i rättegången mot Yamagami Tetsuya, mannen som står inför rätta för mordet på Japans förre premiärminister Abe Shinzo.

The podcast above was made by the Google Gemini AI via notebookLM.A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-narrative-building-of-west-and-the-threat-of-regime-change-13827231.htmlWhile we can all laugh at the absurdities mouthed by Justin Trudeau in his crusade against India and Hindus, there are meta-questions that really beg for an answer: what the heck is going on? Who is behind all this? Why now? What other precedents do we look at? What do we see as immediate fallout?I am a student of narrative building. I wrote of information warfare a couple of months ago in https://rajeevsrinivasan.substack.com/p/ep-131-information-warfare-narrative and pointed out that this particular method of creation of narratives, while it has long been popular, now functions at warp speed, and the targets of such narratives often get blind-sided, or worse.I spoke of the sudden U-turns that ended up deposing erstwhile friends like Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega; and I pointed out that something along those lines had happened with Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh in August. There are other examples: for instance, the Maidan Revolution courtesy Victoria Nuland that ended up in the overthrow in Ukraine of Viktor Yanukovych, the installation of Vladimir Zelensky, and… well, you know the rest. There is a pattern: you unilaterally label somebody a terrorist, and then you proceed to topple him/her. In the old American idiom, “give a dog a bad name, and hang him”. With our supine obeisance to Big Tech and Western media, and thus the gaslighting, we (that is, anybody other than the elites running the West) just believe this, and blame ourselves for not noticing this all along. Total mind-control, in other words.That makes me quite nervous about what's going on with the Canadians. It's true that the Trudeaus, pere et fils, have simply ignored the Khalistani terror problem, both before and after the tragic downing of Air India Kanishka, Flight 182, almost 40 years ago, and the deaths of 329 people. Since those 329 were mostly brown people, it appeared to be not an issue. There was dissenting opinion: the Major Commission report from 2021 https://www.majorcomm.ca/en/reports/finalreport.html excoriated the Canadian government for incompetence and complacency. Here is an excerpt.But nobody has ever been brought to book for the bombing. And this has gotten worse over time: Khalistanis like US citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun regularly threaten to blow up Air India planes, and warn that this will happen on specific occasions where he suggests people should avoid flying on Air India. These are acts of transnational terror and intimidation, but he gets a pass.Maybe it's a coincidence, but after Trudeau's outburst earlier this week, there have been at least a dozen incidents of bomb threats against Indian-owned aircraft. One circumpolar Air India Delhi-Chicago flight ended up landing in an obscure Canadian airport in Iqualuit in the Great White North because of an online bomb threat. It's possible that Khalistanis are involved.Furthermore, there is some kind of a summons issued against Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in a lawsuit filed by Pannun (who is a lawyer himself) in the comical case of an alleged plot to bump him off, wherein an alleged Indian operative allegedly tried to pay an alleged hitman money to do the deed. The latest round of the hoo-haa has Canadians targeting Home Minister Amit Shah. Dutifully, the Washington Post with its old US State Department links has made a whole series of serious allegations, which would be funny if they weren't noir. The fact that the Ministry of External Affairs reacted sharply to this circus, alas, does not mean there is some new-found spine, but simply that the bureaucrats were peeved that one of them, the senior IFS officer who was Ambassador to Canada, was humiliated. Normally, most bureaucrats have children in the US, or are eyeing lucrative Western sinecures. They tend not to do anything that might damage their personal interests. But this time it IS different. Things are coming to a head. The sum and substance is that, after the long-running attack on social media on Hindus as ‘pajeets' and ‘street defecators', now the stage is set to declare “the Modi regime” a “rogue government”, as though fascist, brutal, anti-minority, and other epithets they habitually use were not enough. The next step would be regime change, of course. Is India prepared to defend itself?All this is strictly from the Deep State playbook, so a priori I would blame either Foggy Bottom or Langley, but right now, in the middle of a grueling Presidential election? Don't they have bigger fish to fry? So I started to wonder if it was some other entity that had prodded Trudeau. It was interesting to see the closed ranks among the Five Eyes, which is to say English-speaking white countries or Anglosphere. Keir Starmer of the UK, again dutifully, supported Trudeau with alacrity, so much so that I began to wonder if this assault on India is actually a British plot, considering two things.Brits must have been really annoyed that an Indian-origin PM, Rishi Sunak, ruled them for a while, and they think India is insufficiently respectful of the British King, who, oddly enough, is Canada's Head of State, and probably Australian and New Zealand's as well. Maybe they blame India for Chagossians finally getting out of brutal colonial control (which by the way means the end of the grandly named “British Indian Ocean Territories”) which has an impact on the US naval base at Diego Garcia, for which Chagos islanders had been displaced. The Five Eyes have exalted opinions of themselves. For instance, one of the Biden administration's many unfathomable decisions was to downgrade the sensible Quad (the brainchild of Abe Shinzo) and instead plump for AUKUS (which is all, well, white) with the remarkable story of wanting British technology transfer to Australia re submarines. Let me repeat that: British. Technology. Transfer. And here I was, thinking the objective was to contain a rampaging China!Then there are other little episodes that need to be remembered. Sheikh Hasina stated that the US wanted an island near Chittagong for a naval base, and more alarmingly, that there was a plan for a Christian Zo state that would include territories in India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. This is again a Deep State modus operandi, see East Timor and South Sudan. Furthemore, the US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, has been hyperactive in “sub-national diplomacy” along with other US officials, meeting a Tamil supremacist M K Stalin one day, doling out funds paying special attention to the restive Northeast the next day.Not content with that, here's more from the energetic Garcetti:Assuming these tweets are authentic, things do look a little bleak for India and the “Modi regime” at the moment. Balkanizing India has long been a goal of the Deep State, reflecting the wishes of its proxies in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I hate to be a Cassandra, but a rising and strong India is not on the agenda of anybody but Indians, and that too only some Indians. Others, and you know who they are, are quite happy to revert to the status quo of the pre-1991 era, when India, the alleged socialist paradise, steadily lost ground and became poorer and poorer relative to other countries.These are dangerous times. I have been nervous about Deep State intent since the days of Madeleine Albright and Robin Raphel, and I am concerned about the coming Kamala Harris Presidency (yes, she will be POTUS). I am worried about a faction of the US establishment that is congenitally anti-India. Given the looming threat of China, I would much prefer a good working relationship between the US and India, my two favorite countries, and I'd like to take the protestations of common interests (including a very large purchase of Predator drones by India) at face value, but as Ronald Reagan said memorably, “Trust, but verify”. 1325 words, 17 Oct 2024 This is a public episode.

On August 30, 2023, KEI hosted a discussion with Prof. Rory Medcalf on South Korea's Indo-Pacific Strategy and Middle Power Convergence with Australia. Over the past decade, the concept of the “Indo-Pacific” has replaced the late 20th century “Asia-Pacific” as a central frame of reference for strategy and external policy. Although the Indo-Pacific is often associated particularly with Japan and its influential prime minister the late Abe Shinzo, in fact, Australia was the first country to formally recognize the Indo-Pacific as its regional security environment. As a fellow middle power and independent-minded U.S. ally, with its own geopolitical complexities to navigate, Australia provides an illuminating example for South Korea as it operationalizes its Indo-Pacific strategy.
A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-permanent-interests-not-permanent-friends-drive-foreign-policy-12814872.htmlThe optics for PM Narendra Modi's visit to the US were good. There was a surprisingly positive reception to his speech to the joint houses of the US Parliament (known as the US Congress, not to be confused with the Indian political party with its congenital allergy to Modi). I read that the PM gave a bravura performance, and that he was interrupted by several standing ovations.The rest of the trip also got generally good reviews. It would be wonderful if my two favorite nations were to become good friends. I lived most of my youth in the US, and I love the country. By ancestry and culture, of course my roots are Indian.But any such rapport will not come about if the usual suspects can help it. I was not really surprised by the news that former President Barak Obama was scathing about India and Modi. I have not been a fan of Obama's from day one: something about him made my antennae go up. And then I heard that he had gone to Pakistan in his youth, at a stage in life when most young Americans go to India to find themselves. I guess Obama had already found himself.Then there was Fareed Zakaria who echoed the libel that India was massacring Muslims. He knows well enough that this is not true. If anything, Indian Muslims are more privileged than others. And Zakaria and his father are among the most privileged, a super-elite caste of “Anglo-Mughalais” (my friend Bapa Rao's evocative term) who take advantage of everything India has to offer, in the name of the poorer castes of Muslims whom they find it convenient to keep poor and angry.And then there was Sabrina Siddiqui, a Pakistani-American journalist who is part of the Biden administration, whose provocative question to the PM raised hackles.The meme that is quietly being propagated by all of them is that India is on the verge of genocide of its Muslim residents. This is simply not true: just as they are currently doing in France, Muslims riot at the drop of a hat in India. This is hardly a dara hua population. Obama's direct hint about a Partition 2.0 is a good summary of the standard Deep State perspective on India: keep it down, poor, and preferably broken: Hindus are not allowed to rise.Less sinister was some guy in Foreign Affairs opining that the US and India do not share ‘values' but only ‘interests'. Maybe, but that should not stop them from becoming friends. That is realpolitik: the enlightened pursuit of self-interest. Nations, in a Chanakyan way, can and should pursue their own long-term and short-term interests. I once invoked Chanakya's ‘Far Emperor': you cultivate the distant emperor to wage war against the neighbor, who, sadly, will sooner or later become your foe. That's a good model for India. A benign US can be the Far Emperor when the nearby power threatens.As for the US, with a rampaging China threatening to overturn the entire US-dominated international order, it is good to have friends who can keep China occupied in its neighborhood: to put it crudely, India is the only country to have recently killed Chinese troops, and stared them down in a tense stand-off.And values. I have to believe that the guiding values of the US are “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. So far as I can tell, this is exactly what India is attempting to do for its citizens and this is precisely what the much-maligned (by the US Deep State) Modi is trying to do. How much more congruent can your values get?But I must acknowledge that there is a definite gulf between Abrahamic values and Dharmic values.The ‘religions of the desert', that is, Abrahamisms including the Christian, Islamic and Communist faiths, have as a central tenet world conquest. I classify Abrahamisms as follows:* Paleo-semitic: Zoroastrianism, Judaism* Meso-semitic: Christianity, Islam* Neo-semitic: Communism, Fascism, Nehruism, Ambedkarism, Dravidianism, and so onThe common thread is that these are prone to promote competition and zero-sum games. This is a consequence of the fact that the Middle East, where these ideologies germinated (though they have obviously managed to capture much territory elsewhere) is mostly a fearsome desert. If you do not follow a few simple rules (‘Commandments') you will perish: for instance, “carry water”, “cover yourself up against the sun and sand”, “kill or be killed”, “your life here and now may suck, but there's a heaven after you die and if you want to get there, do the following”.The Dharmic worldview, being that of the ‘religions of the forest', is fundamentally different. This is because the Asian forest, while it can be dangerous, is benign. There are fruits to forage for, and water to drink. Your basic survival is not in such jeopardy, and so you can afford to be a little flexible. Of course there are rules like “look out for snakes”, and “climb a tree to escape predators”, but basically life is easier, and so you develop an attitude of “live and let live”.I have recently been traveling in Europe, and spent some time in the Louvre Museum. The items on display there are a graphic reminder of these differences: the galleries showing Greek, Roman, Persian and Mediterranean art (pre-Abrahamic) are radically different from medieval (Abrahamic) art from later times. Yes, there is a difference ever since meso-Semitism became the European standard.The biologist Richard Dawkins is a good example of the fact that Abrahamic values are the norm for anyone in the West, even if they reject Abrahamic religions, and claim to be atheists, although one could easily argue that atheism is yet another Abrahamism. He has admitted to being culturally Abrahamic, and he is both ignorant and arrogant regarding Dharmic systems: he doesn't understand them, and fits them into a Procrustean Abrahamic mold. The same is true of Noam Chomsky.I do believe that the US and India do not and couldn't possibly share all their values: so that is a futile argument at best. Yet they can and do share interests, mostly the containment of China. Values at a grassroots level are not all that different in practice. Individual Americans are among the nicest, friendliest, most gregarious and decent people anywhere. And so are Indians.It is possible to write reams about Chinese strategic brilliance and Sun Tzu and all that, but the fact remains that while it has thrived under centralized imperial rule, it has also regularly faced catastrophic collapse and periods of chaos. But there is no gainsaying the fact that for the last thirty years or so, China has outplayed the US, to the extent that the CEO of a big defense company (Raytheon if I remember right) says it is impossible to decouple from thousands of Chinese suppliers.When I first went to the US, in the late 1970s, things generally looked good there, even though there was a period of high inflation. The Cold War came to an end soon thereafter (The Soviets were outmaneuvered) and Francis Fukuyama's The End of History seemed possible: Western (that is, a special form of Abrahamic) values had won. Period.Hubris is usually followed by Nemesis. The needs of the war industry took center stage, and money that could and should have been spent on the welfare of Americans was lavished on strange ‘projects' everywhere, such as Iraq, and much later, Afghanistan. The latter was justifiable based on 9/11, but the way it was conducted and (in particular) terminated was atrocious. And now, Ukraine.Meanwhile, China has deeply infiltrated the US through its agents; its unwitting fifth columnists now include Wall Street bankers and captains of industry. Then there are these suspicious little joint ventures, for instance, it now looks increasingly possible that the Covid virus was dreamt up by some billionaires, and executed as a biowarfare project by senior US government officials. It just got a little out of hand. 10-20 million dead, mostly in mRNA-vaccinated rich countries. Oops.So there are many players in the US (and I am not going to get into the godawful wokeness issue or the dubious and dangerous anti-democratic games going on) who are interested in, or paid to, create a narrative that puts India down and keeps it down. This includes the Indian-origin activists and journalists who are astroturfed with ISI money and Chinese money, and when they attack Modi, it is perfectly clear that the target is really India and Hindus.Given the power of these lobbies, the US will get close to India if and only if it has no other choice. Someone writing in the WSJ asked if the US needs India. My belief is that there is mutual benefit. India is no longer the country that some Americans remember: waiting for PL-480 grain to avoid mass starvation. Economics matters, and matters greatly. As and when India becomes a major consumer of all sorts of goods and services for its domestic market, the US will benefit.Is India there yet? No. Can it get there? Yes, if all goes well. But things can easily go south. There are dangerous elements in India with their rent-a-riot crowds and their ‘500 rupees and biriyani for your vote'. The painful and hard-won infrastructure improvement and quality of life improvement can disappear virtually overnight.India's interests include American help in continuing to grow, and this may be in the form of funding and R&D, although quite frankly this could just as well come from Japan. It includes a modus vivendi with China, which is the original intent of the Quad as visualized by that visionary statesman Abe Shinzo: an armed truce, as it were. Red lines. Guardrails. And it wants the ‘rules-based, liberal, international order' to be amended to include 1.4 billion Indians.None of this sounds unreasonable. The question is, how much of this coincides with America's interests. Values are nice, and yes, it would be good if they coincide. But if not, common interests are perfectly good bases for co-existence.1200 words, 23 June 2023, 1700 words updated 1 July 1, 2023 This is a public episode.

This week on the show we look at Japan, and the historic changes underway in its foreign and security policy. In March, prime minister Fumio Kishida visited Kyiv, marking the first time a Japanese leader has visited an active war zone since WWII. This comes amid successive changes to how Japan approaches national security concerns. We ask whether Tokyo is moving away from its pacifist constitution? What role has the rise of China and the invasion of Ukraine played? And is this the culmination of former prime minister Abe Shinzo's vision of Japan as a ‘normal country'? We look more widely to Tokyo's tumultuous relations with its neighbours, not just with China but also importantly South Korea. With Fumio Kishida expected to visit Seoul in the next few days, we look at why two democracies, both of which are US allies, find themselves continually at odds. Joining Bronwen Maddox in the studio this week is Robert Ward, the Japan Chair and Senior Fellow with the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), from Tokyo, Valerie Niquet, a Senior Research Fellow with Foundation for Strategic Research, and finally, from Singapore, Professor Alessio Patalano, an expert on East Asia and academic with King's College London's War Studies department.

This episode we take a look at the reign of Takewo Hiro Oshikuni Tate, aka Senka Tenno, and we take our first steps into what is referred to as the Asuka Period, due to the large number of rulers who had courts in the region of Asuka in the southern Nara Basin. For more information, check out https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-80 Rough Transcript: Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan. My name is Joshua and this is Episode 80: The Asuka Period Begins! When last we looked at the Chronicles, we were in the reign of Magari no Ohine, aka Ohoye—though we've gone with Ohine so I'm going to stick with that—aka Ankan Tennou. Assuming the dating in the Chronicles is correct, he was born about 465, and would have come of age in the era of Wakatakiru no Ohokimi, aka Yuuryaku Tennou. When his father, Wohodo no Ohokimi, first took the throne in 507, Ohine would would have been in his early forties—his father only in his mid to late 50s. And so when his father passed away about 25 years later, Ohine was already into his late 60s, himself. It is unclear whether his father reigned for 25 or 28 years; the Chronicles say 25, officially, but then note that there is another source that claims it was 28. It goes on to skip over about three years, during which Ohine himself didn't take the throne, allowing for 28 years to have passed. That discrepancy of three years may not seem like much, but it is still curious. Realistically, though, he had his hand on the tiller of the ship of state for much longer. We see his hand in stories dated to about 513, when he is shown politicking on national issues, taking a royal princess as his wife, and being established as the heir apparent. So he is actively participating in the government, and while it does appear that the long tradition of co-rulership, which we've discussed a few times, may have died out around this period, there seems little doubt as to his influence in the court. And yet, Ohine's reign only lasted two years. He was perhaps 68 or 69 years old when he took the throne, and he would die in the following year. Despite his influence, his father's long reign had kept him off the throne for much of that time, and he was likely considered venerable even as he took the throne. He was succeeded by his maternal brother, the second eldest son of Wohodo no Ohokimi, who full name was Take-wo Hiro Kunioshi Tate. Based on his age and the dating in the Chronicles, he was only about one year younger than his older brother. So everything I said above about Ohine coming to the throne at a late age applies to Takewo as well - he would have also been through almost 7 decades by that point, so he was no spring chicken. It is unclear what Takewo's role was, growing up. He was the second son. His older brother was the heir apparent, and had his elder brother had children, no doubt those children would have been expected to inherit. However, such as not meant to be, as Magari no Ohine died childless. Here I should point out that there were other brothers, since in the stories we've seen so far there has not necessarily been an insistence on the eldest brother taking the throne. One of these brothers was the young Ame Kunioshi Hiraki Hiro Niwa no Mikoto. Born to Wohodo and his formal queen, Tashiraga, he would have been 26 at the time of Magari no Ohine's death. Young, in comparison to Takewo, but not impossibly so, and certainly old enough to have taken the throne. In fact the Chronicles treat it as a forgone conclusion, though that is likely more twenty-twenty hindsight than anything else. Besides, although his mother was queen, that appears to have been a blatantly political marriage, designed to join Wohodo's line with that of the previous sovereigns. Even Ohine had married a royal princess from the previous ruling line, and Takewo would be little different. Still, it seems likely that Takewo and Ohine were likely from the more favored line, at least at the time, and as they took the throne, had they had heirs who could follow after them those heirs would have likely been the new royal lineage. So: both Ohine and his brother came to the throne quite late in their lives, and neither would hold it for very long. That doesn't mean, though, that there aren't some important tidbits for us in their stories. As we've discussed in the last few episodes, a lot happened during Ohine's reign, particularly with the establishment of various royal granaries. His entry in the Nihon Shoki is over twice the length of Takewo's, even though the latter's reign was longer, though not by much—lasting from the twelfth month of 535 to the spring of 539—a little more than three years, all told. Still, Takewo's reign has a few notable events. First such thing is the enthronement ceremony in the twelfth month of 535, as the Ministers of the court delivered up to Takewo the regalia—the sword and the mirror. Notice that there is no mention of the jewel, and neither is their mention of the seal, which was the item given to Takewo's father, Wohodo, on *his* ascension, which we discussed back in Episode 75. This continues something of a trend, where the sword and the mirror are the truly public regalia. Then, they moved the palace, as was customary. The Chronicles say that they set it up in Ihorino, in Hinokuma. This has traditionally been identified as being in the Hinokuma district of Asuka, near Omiashi jinja. Omiashi jinja claims to be the family shrine of the Aya, one of the families that trace their lineage back to the weavers brought over from the Korean peninsula. That family, much like the current dynasty, traced their own lineage back to the time of Homuda Wake, and I wonder if there wasn't some kind of connection that would have made Hinokuma important to the sovereign and the court back in the early 6th century. It is also near the site of the ruins of Hinokuma temple, said to have been established over a century later, in 686. Temples often were their own kind of symbol, and likely spoke to some importance for this area at the time it was founded, though it is likely that was coincidental to the site's use by Takewo and his court, assuming the Chronicles can be trusted on that point. Now some of you, like me, may have picked up on the location of this palace; that is to say, Asuka. As in the Asuka period. This is the period, between the 6th and 7th centuries, when many of the sovereigns based their capitals out of this region south of Kashihara in the Nara Basin, and hence the name. We'll talk more on this periodization—as well as the various dates and what they mean—later on in the episode. For now, just know that this area, which is rich in archaeological evidence for this period, is going to be of particular importance to us—so much so that scholars have named an era after this region. After setting up the palace, we are told that Takewo appointed his ministers. Two of the names are no surprise—Ohotomo no Kanamura and Mononobe no Arakahi were still around, and had continued in positions of power. Two new names join the list, however: Soga no Iname no Sukune was made Oho-omi, and Abe no Ohomaro no Omi was made Daibu. Soga no Iname comes from the famous Soga clan. They claimed descent through none other than the famous Katsuragi no Sotsuhiko, and have popped up now and again. For more on Sotsuhiko, check out episode 47. The last mention appears to be during the reign of Wakatakiru no Ohokimi, when they mentioned Soga no Karako—which looks like it may be talking about someone born on the Korean peninsula. Given their connections to the continent and their eventual connection with Buddhism—as we'll see in later episodes they played a large role in bringing it over and popularizing it in Japan—it seems quite likely that they had ties to the Korean peninsula. Here, we see Soga no Iname being made Ohoomi, the head of the Soga no Omi family, and what appears to be a rank of prime minister, although so far the actual authority of the Oho-omi in State affairs seems a bit hit or miss. Abe no Ohomaro, on the other hand, is being made Daibu. This term is interesting—they are not making Ohomaro the head of the Abe clan, which would also be Ohoomi, one assumes, just like the Ohomuraji of the Ohotomo and Mononobe, though there are a lot of “Omi” ranked families that have been mentioned, but only a handful who have been mentioned as Oho-omi. The term “daibu” has shown up a few times in the Chronicles before, and generally just seems to refer to high ranking court officials, generally, though here it seems to be a specific court title. It would certainly be used that way, later, but it is also possible that, like Omi, it was originally just a more general term for high ranking ministers. The Abe family has shown up here and there. Much like the Mononobe, their family name appears to suggest that they were originally formed as one of the “-Be” corporate family groups, though of course they show up in the Chronicles well before that would seem to have been the case, and have been prominent enough to marry daughters off to various sovereigns, so they at least claim something of a pedigree. They would continue to be important at court, and appear to have been close allies with the Soga clan, at least in this period. There are a host of famous Abe throughout history. From the poet, Abe no Nakamaro, to the famous Onmyoji, or Yin-yang diviner, Abe no Seimei. There was a branch of Abe in the Tohoku region that regularly caused problems for later courts. And of course there is the modern political dynasty, as well, including the late Prime Minister, Abe Shinzo. However, it is somewhat difficult to know just who is actually related. The poet Nakamaro may be named for a village, rather than for his relationship to the court family. There are even different ways of spelling and pronouncing the Abe name, even in the Nihon Shoki itself. The Abe family was large enough that it would not have been difficult for someone to claim a relationship that didn't exist, particularly in some of the more chaotic times. Still, we'll try to keep track of them as best we can, at least as they interact with our narrative. In this case, that means keeping an eye on Abe no Ohomaro and his position at court. Besides affirming the ministers, there was also the appointment of a queen. Here we again see the trend to connect this dynasty with the previous, as Takewo's primary wife was none other than Tachibana no Nakatsu, a daughter of Ohoke no Ohokimi, aka Ninken Tennou. Together they had one son and three daughters, so technically it would appear that he did have an heir when he passed, but as we'll see, that isn't quite how the succession ended up working out. One of the major events of this reign seems rather substantial. That's the creation of a government house—basically an administrative center—in northern Kyushu, specifically in Nanotsu no Kuchi. Ostensibly it was to organize granaries to consolidate and distribute food as necessary. Of course, it can't be forgotten that rice was not just food, but also the basis of the economy. So granaries were just as much a place that taxes could be collected, and that would have given officials there a tidy sum, some of which was no doubt destined for Yamato, but which I imagine was also used to help grease the wheels of local government. We've seen this coming for some time. We see the military subdual of Kyushu in the old stories, and we see various people sent out to bring it to heel or otherwise administer at least the northern areas, which would have been part of the critical trade routes between Yamato and the mainland. Mononobe no Arakahi had been sent down with what we are told was a “battleax” of office to put down the Iwai Rebellion. That was about ten years ago, and we see Arakahi still in the government. Now, however, Yamato seems to be consolidating its hold over the area, instituting economic controls, beyond just the threat of military force. There are also the various areas and families that they drew upon to fund and kickstart this venture. Most of it is from the Yamato region—Mamuta, in Kawachi; Owari, near modern Nagoya; Nihinomi, likely near Ohosaka; and Iga. The families in charge of this include Aso no Kimi, who must have had some leverage in Mamuta; Soga no Iname, who held influence of the Owari no Muraji; Mononobe no Arakahi, who apparently was in charge of the Nihinomi no Muraji; and then the Abe family, who directed the Iga no Omi. Of these, I find the Aso no Kimi most intriguing, as the others are all related to the great ministers of state. Aso no Kimi feels out of place, to me. It may be a reference to Mt. Aso or similar. But I also can't help but notice that we have one Great Minister missing: Ohotomo no Kanamura, though not for long. The rest of the setup of this government house—what sounds suspiciously like the area we'll later come to know as the Dazaifu—included commandments that the local regions of the island of Kyuushuu also provide funds, which is to say rice. They consolidated reserves from Tsukushi, Hi, and Toyo, which is mostly northern Kyushu. This was all in the year 536. Whether that is when it was commanded or that is when it was setup is not quite clear to me. One suspects that it would have fallen to Mononobe no Arakahi to administer things from this new government center, if it weren't for that fact that Arakahi passed away only about a month later. It is unclear who administered this new government house immediately, but in the year following, 537, and with Silla breathing down Nimna's neck, Takewo's government assigned Ohotomo no Kanamura's sons, Iwa and Sadehiko, to assist Nimna. Iwa took charge of the government in Tsukushi, which would have been supplying any adventures on the peninsula, including raising troops and making preparations. Meanwhile his brother, Sadehiko went to Nimna and, we are told, “restored the peace” there, as well as lending aid to Yamato's ally, Baekje. This is rather vague. I don't see anything in the Samguk Sagi that clearly equates to this. In 532, the Silla Annals talk about the King of Keumgwan Kara surrendering to Silla, though Kara would continue to be a going concern for at least another sixty years or so. It is possible that this had something to do with this new expedition around 537, but it isn't clear. Takewo would pass away in 539. His kofun near Mt. Unebi, just a little ways north of his palace at Hinokuma. It is identified as one in modern Toriyacho. It is said that he was buried together with his wife, Tachibana, and one of their children, who died while still quite young. And that's where we might end things, but there are a few other points to note for this period. For one thing, this is a great time to discuss periodization in Japanese history, since some people claim that the Asuka period started during this reign—specifically referencing the date of 538. Periodization of historical eras often seems straightforward, but more often than not it is anything but. Periods may be designated for political reasons or even cultural. Political reasons may include things like a change in government, or even a change in the location of government. Certainly the Nara period, starting in 710, is based quite squarely on the foundation of Heijo-kyo, the continental style capital in modern Nara city. Likewise the Heian and Kamakura eras are often dated from the founding of the governments in those areas. However, just because the government moved does not necessarily mean that things changed overnight, or even much at all. Likewise there were smaller changes that often happened within these periods, so within the Heian and Kamakura periods, you get terms like the Fujiwara and Insei periods to denote specific aspects of who was controlling the government at any given time. For some, that means that the Asuka period doesn't start until the reign of Toyomike Kashikiya-hime, aka Suiko Tenno, in 593, and by the narrowest definition only continues until the Taika reforms in 645, which are easily defined political dates with broad agreement across the scholarship for when they occurred. And yet, we know that there were governments based out of the Asuka period before that, if the Nihon Shoki is to be at all believed. So if this is about the location of the capital, why not start it with Takewo and his palace? Shouldn't that be the start of the so-called “Asuka Period”? After all, during this period the sovereigns continued the practice of building new palaces upon their ascension, with most, though not all, being in the Asuka area. And yet, that probably wouldn't really help break up the period in the most meaningful ways. After all, if we go with that idea, why not start when Wohodo no Ohokimi built his palace in Iware, just a little to the north? What was so different from one to the other? On the other hand, cultural periods tend to focus on changes in things like art or even thought. These often overlap well, but not exactly, with political periods. For instance, you may hear about the Higashiyama period, a time in the Muromachi when the Higashiyama era of Kyoto was ascendant, and it was influencing artistic growth and evolution across the country. But even that is a hard thing to tack down. For the Asuka period, perhaps the biggest change – and one we will spend a lot of time discussing – was the introduction of Buddhism, that foreign religion from India, transported across Eurasia to the Korean peninsula and then over to Japan. The primary figure to whom the spread of Buddhism in Japan is attributed is the enigmatic Shotoku Taishi, who served as a regent for Toyomike Kashikiya hime, and instituted myriad reforms, often along continental models. And yet, if we want to look at the start of Buddhism, that actually goes further back—and for many it goes back all the way to the years included in this reign—specifically the year 538. Now the year 538 in the Nihon Shoki contains no mention of Buddhism. In fact, the Nihon Shoki wouldn't have a record of anything related to Buddhist teachings coming to Japan until about 13 or 14 years later, in the reign of the following sovereign, known as Kimmei Tenno, whom we will be getting to shortly. This chronicle states that it was in about 552 when an envoy from Baekje brough an image of the Buddha as well as Buddhist scriptures to the court. However, these days it seems that many scholars prefer a date of 538 for this particular event. The 538 date comes from the records of Gangoji Temple—the Gangouji Garan Engi—as well as the Jouguu Shoutoku Houou Teisetsu, aka the Jouguu-ki. This latter is purported to be a biography of Shotoku Taishi, and comes from the 8th century, so contemporary with the Nihon Shoki, the Kojiki, and the Sendai Kuji Hongi. Both of these sources lend credence to the idea of 538 being when these Buddhist icons first came over, and so many people will start the Asuka period at this date. To be clear, it isn't as if Buddhism came over once and that was the end of it and everybody became Buddhist. This is just the first recorded instance of Buddhist items and ideas entering Japan—it wasn't until later, as the court was adopting more and more continental ways, that Buddhism really gained acceptance and spread. Eventually it seems that state sponsorship of temples would override the construction of large kofun, as economic resources and labor were shifted to these new institutions of the state, bringing the Kofun era to its eventual end. But that is still down the road for us. Right now we are just at the beginning of the introduction of Buddhism, and while things are changing and the state is definitely growing, life didn't suddenly take a turn one way or the other. As for the date of 538—why was this, in hindsight, incredibly important religious and cultural event not mentioned in the reign of Takewo? Why was it instead mentioned in the reign of his successor? I've seen a few theories, but nothing that can concretely answer this question. Of course, there is the possibility that Takewo just wasn't as impressive. The Chronicles seem to take issue with both his lineage and his elder brother's, suggesting they weren't true heirs because they did not have the full pedigree that someone like their brother, Ame Kunioshi, had. Of course, that could also have something to do with the path history took—to the Chroniclers it only made sense, but I think we can all see how that could have turned out differently. There is also a theory that Ame Kunioshi, aka Kimmei Tenno, was actually co-ruling. Some have even suggested that Takewo and his brother, Magari no Ohine, were fictional, though why they would need to pad things out is anybody's guess. It certainly does not seem unreasonable to think that some tradition of co-rulership had briefly continued in some form. As such, it may be that it did happen during Ame Kunioshi's reign, but that said reign overlapped with his brother. If that were the case, the Chroniclers may have been teasing the two apart to provide a more direct narrative. In the end, it is hard to know exactly why the dates don't correspond between the different documents, but for our part I think we can say that we have now at least dipped our toes into the Asuka Period, especially as we get into the reign of Takewo's younger step-brother, the youngest son of Wohodo no Ohokimi, or so we are told: Ame Kunioshi Hiraki Hiro Niwa, aka Kimmei Tennou But that will be for another episode, and there is so much to talk about: More contact with the continent, further discussion of the coming of Buddhism, and perhaps a look at some of the archaeology, including some volcanic events that don't seem to have made it into the Chronicles themselves.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/requiem-for-a-japanese-statesman-who-loved-india-abe-shinzo-10896211.htmlAbe Shinzo will be remembered as Asia’s greatest 21st century statesman. He recognized early that the Indo-Pacific will (re)occupy center stage as it did throughout most of history, barring a brief Atlanticist interregnum. And then he did something about it, by proposing the Quad and the “free and open Indo-Pacific”. He realized that China would revert to imperialism, and would have to be contained.Abe-san understood that America would withdraw into its comfort zone (“Fortress America”) as its economic and military dominance diminished. It was up to Asians to defend themselves, and not depend on cross-Pacific partnerships. This may have driven his nationalist sentiments. Japan, with its proud history, could not forever be anybody’s junior partner. It would have to assert itself, and it could no longer be hobbled by the pacifist Article 9 imposed by the US, that prevented it from arming itself. All of this has come to pass, more or less. After Obama’s content-free “pivot to Asia”, Biden’s obsessions with Russia, Ukraine and AUKUS, and China’s consistent saber-rattling along its entire periphery, it is evident that the old “liberal, rules-based international order” with its Euro-American bias can no longer protect Asia’s democracies. A muscular Quad, or even an ‘Asian NATO’ is necessary.This is critical for India’s very survival, and Abe helped turn around Japan’s official attitude towards India. Even his grandfather, former Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke, had been positive towards India, but Abe-san turned out to be a true friend. Under him, relations bloomed; and from a stance of anger at India’s Pokhran blasts, Japan has now become India’s most, and in fact only, trusted partner. This endeared Japan’s longest-serving PM, Abe-san, to many Indians. He believed in India, and it showed. So much so that some of us are in personal mourning. India has lost its best friend, and in a world where it has no friends, that is a tremendous loss: even after he resigned the PM position on health grounds, Abe-san continued to generate goodwill for Indo-Japanese partnerships. The last time the death of a foreign leader affected Indians so much was when John F Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.Prime Minister Modi put it well in a personal note, “My friend, Abe-san” https://www.narendramodi.in/my-friend-abe-san-563044. He also declared a day of national mourning. Among his greatest gifts to us and his most enduring legacy, and one for which the world will always be indebted, is his foresight in recognizing the changing tides and gathering storm of our time and his leadership in responding to it. Long before others, he, in his seminal speech to the Indian Parliament in 2007, laid the ground for the emergence of the Indo-Pacific region as a contemporary political, strategic and economic reality - a region that will also shape the world in this century.There is a starkly different, and possibly grossly unfair, characterization of Abe-san in the US media, as some kind of ultra-nationalist. The left-leaning NPR was positively churlish. But then this goes back to the Manichean/Abrahamic “with us or against us” dualism put about by US sources. They portray Japan as being particularly wicked, with Pearl Harbor as Original Sin, and the “Yellow Peril” as being particularly dangerous, deserving of the ultimate horror of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Remarkably enough, this was along the same lines as the vitriol from China.I can understand China being extraordinarily mean. That’s just par for the course. But an American outlet saying this is a little surprising, that too a public-sector, publicly-funded, non-commercial entity. Are there wheels within wheels?But wait, here’s more:Growing up in India, I too was subject to this negative barrage, but I had the advantage of reading Malayalam translations of Tanizaki, Kawabata and Lady Murasaki in my teenage days. I understood Japan as a unique but Dharmic civilization with integrity and codes of honor. Later, I read about Subhas Bose’s perspective on imperial Japan, and its support for the Indian National Army. Many years later, I went to Nair-san’s Indian restaurant on the Ginza in Tokyo: he had been Rash Behari Bose’s interpreter. The dichotomy of reactions persists. The Western-Chinese narrative against Japan was one of convenience; on the one hand, the Chinese realized that they just needed to shout “Rape of Nanjing”, and the Japanese would give them money to shut them up. On the other hand, the famous “liberal rules-based international order” (see my deconstruction thereof at ) consistently tried to keep Japan down as a low-caste vassal even when it was the world’s second largest economy.There was an enormous fuss about the fact that Abe-san visited the Yasukuni Shrine, the memorial to Japan’s war dead. I could never quite understand this. Every country is entitled to remember its warriors, and most do, with gratitude. Why is it that Japan, alone, was prohibited from doing so? In 2019, I visited the shrine myself. It is a stately, mournful, quiet place of introspection. It has a magnificent torii, a museum, and a shrine. It is pure gaslighting to claim this place is somehow loathsome.And it has a memorial to Justice Radhabinod Pal, the Indian jurist who was part of the War Crimes Tribunal post World War II. He was the only dissenting voice in what he more or less said was a kangaroo court. Its intention, from the victors’ point of view, was to extract revenge rather than to arrive at the truth about the war. If some Japanese military men were deemed war criminals, were William Calley of My Lai and Henry Kissinger who ordered the carpet-bombing of neutral Cambodia any less?It was an honor for me to stand before Justice Pal’s memorial. Many older Japanese are grateful to Justice Pal for what he did then; Abe-san, though he was born a few years after the trials, may have heard from his grandfather Kishi-san about it. There are several other connections to India. I used to visit Japan frequently on business in the 1990s, and I found a number of links old and new. Kabuki, for example, is rather similar to Kathakali in concept. Sanskrit is still chanted in Japan’s Buddhist temples, and they write it in the Siddham script that is extinct in India, but seen in temples in Japan.I found actual Devanagari written on the Peace Bell in Hiroshima: it is one of the sutras that constitute prayers for the dead. In Nara, where Abe-san was assassinated, there is the famous great bronze Buddha in the Todaiji temple. In the adjacent park, where a lot of tame deer roam, there is also a reproduction of the Ashoka Stambha, the Lion Capital of Sarnath, the emblem of the sovereign republic of Bharat/India.The links between India and Japan go back a long way, at least to Daruma, or Bodhi Dharma, the preceptor of the Zen school of Buddhism, who took kalari payat and Buddhist philosophy to the Shaolin monastery in China, around 500 CE. He was reputedly a Pallava prince, who embarked from Muziris or Kodungallur in Kerala. There is the famous Zen koan, “Why did Bodhi Dharma go east?”.Is that why Abe-san came west to India? To repay an ancient debt? Moksham praptirastu, Abe-san. You were a good man. We miss you. 1150 words, Jul 9, 2022 This is a public episode.

Bienvenido a La Wikly.🏳️⚧️ Cuestión de terapiaLo importante: Estados Unidos vive días de profunda división ideológica, especialmente en cuestiones culturales y sociales de la comunidad LGBTQ+ que involucran a menores de edad. Ahora, el país lidia con una cruda batalla sobre el futuro de los tratamientos médicos de menores trans.En ese contexto, recordarás que analizamos la ley No digas gay de Florida o las batallas que se están dando en las juntas electorales.Contexto: en Estados Unidos, más 1.6 millones de personas se identifican como personas trans. De esos, más de 300.000 son menores de edad, según un estudio del Instituto Williams publicado en junio.La cifra está muy por encima de otras estimaciones previas, pero coincide con los aumentos destacados de personas que se identifican como trans en países como Reino Unido y Países Bajos.La media de edad de un menor trans que acude a una clínica para explorar opciones sobre tratamiento médico tiene en torno a 14 ó 15 años.El aumento de jóvenes trans y de sus familias que buscan tratamiento médico especializado solo ha hecho que crecer, engrandeciendo la dimensión política de cualquier proyecto legislativo que les afecte.Es ahí donde nace la necesidad de explicar bien sobre qué se está debatiendo y por qué el partido republicano está llevando esta cuestión a la primera plana del debate público.Explícamelo: multitud de estados conservadores llevan más de un año considerando o aprobando leyes para limitar el acceso a tratamientos médicos para menores que se identifican como trans.Las encuestas muestran que la ciudadanía tiene opiniones muy dispares sobre el asunto, como se puede ver en esta pregunta de NPR e Ipsos: “¿Apoyas las leyes y políticas estatales que impiden a los jóvenes trans acceder a tratamientos médicos de transición de género?”.Quienes apoyan esas leyes, en verde, representan un 31 por ciento.Quienes están en contra, en naranja, son un 47 por ciento.La división ideológica entre demócratas y republicanos es obvia, pero quizá más interesante es el alto porcentaje de la población que carece de una opinión al respecto: el 23 por ciento.Por esa razón, cabe explicar primero qué es el tratamiento médico para menores trans para después contar qué tipo de leyes se están aprobando y por qué todo esto está ocurriendo justo ahora.🩺 Glosario de conceptosEl tratamiento médico para personas transgénero se divide, a grandes rasgos, en dos tipos: la terapia de conversión (conversion therapy o reparative therapy) y la afirmación de género (gender affirmation).La terapia de conversión parte de una premisa por la que las identidades de género distintas al biológico son patológicas. Es decir, los que apoyan este tipo de terapias entienden que una persona que se identifica como hombre pese a haber nacido con las características fisiológicas de una mujer padece una enfermedad.Por tanto, la terapia de conversión sirve para intervenir y alinear la identidad de género de una persona con aquella identidad asociada al género que le fue asignado al nacer: masculino o femenino.La Academia Estadounidense de Psiquiatría Infantil y Adolescente (ACAAP) y otras asociaciones médicas afirman que este tipo de terapia carece de credibilidad científica y de utilidad clínica, además de ser dañina para la salud de las personas transgénero.En varios estados del país, no hay legislación que la prohíba o limite:La afirmación de género, tal y como la define la Organización Mundial de la Salud, abarca una variedad de intervenciones sociales, psicológicas, conductuales y médicas “diseñadas para apoyar y afirmar la identidad de género de un individuo” cuando entra en conflicto con el género que se le asignó al nacer.Las intervenciones ayudan a las personas transgénero a alinear varios aspectos de sus vidas (emocionales, interpersonales y biológicos) con su identidad de género.Esas intervenciones van desde el asesoramiento hasta cambios en la expresión social, medicamentos como la terapia hormonal o los bloqueadores de pubertad y cirugías de afirmación de género.Una investigación realizada por el Instituto Williams este mismo año concluyó que los esfuerzos para apoyar a los jóvenes trans a vivir de acuerdo con su sentido interno de género se asocian con una mejor salud mental y para sentirse más seguros en el colegio.En cambio, la terapia de conversión se asocia con tendencias suicidas.📜 Proyectos de leyDesde marzo, al menos 15 estados están considerando leyes que restringirían el acceso a la atención médica para la afirmación de género. Cuatro ya lo han hecho, aunque tres de esas leyes han sido bloqueadas total o parcialmente por las cortes judiciales, según la Kaiser Family Foundation.Los proyectos de ley conllevan sanciones severas para los proveedores de atención médica y, a veces, para las familias que brindan o buscan atención de afirmación de género para menores.Según un artículo de la Unión Estadounidense por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU), que cita a profesionales y organizaciones de atención a la salud, el acceso a los procedimientos médicos transgénero reduce drásticamente la depresión y la ideación suicida.Un estudio de 2020 publicado en Pediatrics encontró que el acceso al tratamiento de supresión de la pubertad se asoció con menores probabilidades de ideación suicida de por vida entre los adultos transgénero.En 2021, Arkansas se convirtió en el primer estado del país en prohibir los tratamientos médicos para menores transgénero. A pesar del veto del gobernador republicano Asa Hutchinson, la legislatura estatal de supermayoría republicana votó para aprobar el proyecto de ley 1570 que limita el acceso a ciertos tratamientos para jóvenes menores de 18 años.La ley prohíbe a los médicos del estado proporcionar terapia hormonal de afirmación de género, bloqueadores de pubertad o cirugías de afirmación de género a menores, o derivar pacientes menores a otros proveedores de atención médica.Su aprobación fue rechazada por las principales organizaciones médicas de Arkansas y del país como la Asociación Médica Estadounidense y la Asociación Psicológica Estadounidense.Cuatro familias de menores trans y dos médicos denunciaron la ley ante los tribunales y una corte federal bloqueó temporalmente la ley en julio de 2021. El estado apeló y se espera un juicio para finales de este mes.En Texas, el gobernador republicano Greg Abbott emitió una orden restringiendo el acceso a la atención médica de afirmación de género para menores transgénero, incluido el uso de hormonas para retrasar la pubertad y promover el desarrollo físico que sea consistente con la identidad de género del menor.La orden clasifica la provisión de cuidado de afirmación de género como “abuso infantil” y ordena al Departamento de Servicios Familiares y de Protección del estado que investigue cualquier caso informado de proveedores de atención médica o padres que brinden o busquen atención sanitaria de afirmación de género para niños.Un tribunal estatal bloqueó la directiva, pero el Tribunal Supremo de Texas solo la restringió en lo que aplica a los demandantes del caso. Otras decisiones judiciales paralelas han limitado otras investigaciones del departamento estatal que seguía las órdenes de Abbott.Tras el anuncio de la directiva, la mayoría de las principales asociaciones médicas de Estados Unidos presentaron juntas un escrito de amicus curiae para oponerse a la resolución estatal.El informe establece que el cumplimiento de la directiva dañaría irreparablemente la salud de jóvenes y niños transgénero.También, que perjudicaría a los proveedores de servicios sanitarios al ser obligados a elegir entre enfrentar sanciones o poner en peligro a sus pacientes.Muchas de estas leyes estatales tienen el potencial de contagiarse por otros estados. Líderes republicanos en las partes más conservadoras del país están esperando primero a ver qué sucede con algunos de estos proyectos para aprobar unos similares en sus estados.Algunos están pendientes de Texas y de Arkansas o de lo que el gobernador republicano Ron DeSantis está proponiendo en Florida: prohibir el tratamiento médico de personas trans bajo el seguro médico Medicaid que existe para familias con pocos recursos.🧨 La batalla políticaLa controversia en torno a los tratamientos médicos para menores trans llega en un momento político en el que el movimiento conservador ha conseguido energizar a su electorado con guerras culturales anti-LGBTQ+.Las políticas son divisorias en el plano general del país, como muestra la encuesta de NPR e Ipsos que hemos adjuntado más arriba, pero lo son menos en los estados conservadores.En el caso de estados bisagra como Texas o Florida, sus líderes abogan por esas políticas porque les da fuerza entre su electorado conservador y atraen titulares que les ofrecen mayor presencia mediática a nivel nacional, clave para políticos con aspiraciones presidenciales como Abbott y DeSantis.Encuestas de The Trevor Project muestran que el 45 por ciento de los votantes en Texas y el 54 por ciento de los votantes en Florida creen que los menores deberían tener acceso a tratamiento médico para menores trans si los recomienda su doctor y lo apoyan sus padres.La administración de Joe Biden ya ha tomado algunas medidas para restringir la terapia de conversión en programas financiados con fondos federales y expandir el acceso a tratamientos médicos de afirmación de género, pero son los juzgados los que tienen más armas para bloquear las leyes estatales.¿Y ahora? Los republicanos están aprovechando otros frentes para atentar contra la comunidad trans. Especialmente, en el caso de la participación de chicas menores trans en equipos de deportes del género con el que se identifican.El 63 por ciento de los estadounidenses se oponen a que eso ocurra, una mayoría notable que incluye a un 77 por ciento de republicanos que se oponen con vehemencia a que eso pueda ocurrir, según la misma encuesta de NPR e Ipsos.El número de chicas estudiantes trans que compiten en deportes es muy bajo, según estadísticas de la Human Rights Campaign. Probablemente apenas unas pocas miles, lo que se traduciría en un 0.2 por ciento del total de estudiantes atletas en todo Estados Unidos.Pero aun habiendo pocas de ellas, los titulares que atraen cuando ganan alguna competición tienden a magnificarse con la ayuda del movimiento conservador. Y esa es la plataforma perfecta para seguir instigando el odio contra la comunidad trans y la promoción de políticas que les afecten.Y de ahí que también se vean decenas de proyectos de ley para prohibir la participación de chicas estudiantes trans en deportes femeninos.De cara a las elecciones de medio mandato de noviembre y de las presidenciales de 2024, cabe esperar que los temas sobre la comunidad trans seguirán recibiendo mucha atención por parte del partido republicano. Falta ver si la opinión pública los acompaña.¿Desea saber más? En The New York Times tienen un reportaje fascinante sobre la cuestión de los tratamientos médicos para menores trans y el debate que existe entre la comunidad médica para entenderlos y ayudarlos. Quizá hablemos de ellos más en profundidad algún día porque para esta newsletter ya se nos quedaba largo.🎬 Una recomendaciónCon la colaboración de FilminBy Emilio DoménechTomboy es una película francesa de 2011 dirigida por Céline Sciamma. Sigue la historia de una niña de 10 años que empieza a experimentar con la forma en la que se presenta a su entorno, pero no a su familia, llegando a adoptar el nombre de Mickaël.El filme se alzó con el premio Teddy en el Festival de Berlín de su año, cuando fue muy bien recibida por la crítica. El Teddy es un galardón que otorga un jurado independiente a largometrajes que tratan temas LGBTQ.Es la segunda película de Sciamma, que encadenaría después tres títulos encumbrados por la prensa con Girlhood, Retrato de una mujer en llamas y Petite Maman. En Filmin tienen dos de ellas, así que puedes hacer maratón Sciamma.En el caso de Tomboy, la cineasta gala ya dejaba clara su exquisitez formal y su sensibilidad textual con una película que explora la identidad de una joven que acaba de empezar a verse en el mundo de forma diferente a lo que estaba preconcebido para ella.Ayuda que al frente del trabajo esté la actriz Zoé Heran, incandescente en el papel protagonista.El naturalismo que exhibe el filme en algunas escenas, con conversaciones entre chavales que se sienten reales y puras, logra transmitir las complejidades de su cuestión principal sin que se sienta impostado, algo vital en películas como esta.En definitiva, una pequeña joya.Tomboy está disponible en Filmin.🤭 Mi bebito, fiu fiuBy Marina EnrichLo importante: si has entrado en TikTok durante la última semana, es probable que hayas visto vídeos con la canción “Mi bebito fiu fiu” de fondo. Es una canción producida por Tito Silva y cantada por Tefi C (aunque la base de la canción es “Stan” de Eminem y Dido de 2000 - pedazo colaboración), y la verdad es que la letra tiene su qué:Caramelo de chocolate, empápame asíComo un pionono de vitrina, enróllame asíCon azúcar en polvo, endúlzameY es que tú eres mi reyQué lindo eres tú, eres mi bebé, mi bebito fiu fiuContexto: la letra de la canción es de unos whatsapps que se filtraron en 2020 entre el presidente de Perú de aquel momento, Martín Alberto Vizcarra, y su supuesta amante, Zully Pinchi, excandidata al Congreso de Perú.Aunque esta canción sea una parodia, la publicación de estos mensajes fue un escándalo en Perú, ya que revelaron una supuesta infidelidad —aunque tanto Vizcarra como Pinchi lo niegan.Los mensajes se publicaron porque Vizcarra estaba siendo investigado por una supuesta recepción de sobornos a cambio de contratos de obras públicas entre 2013 y 2014, cuando era gobernador de la ciudad de Moquegua. Debido a esta investigación, Vizcarra fue destituido como presidente.La clave. La canción lo está petando. Llegó al Top 50 éxitos virales en Spotify, aunque la retiraron hace unos días de la plataforma porque, aunque sea una parodia, a los que gestionan los derechos de la canción original no les gustaba que se les vinculara con el contexto político peruano, según Silva.Que Bad Bunny la empezara a cantar en el último directo que hizo en Instagram y que streamers como Ibai o Auronplay también lo hicieran definitivamente ayudó a que su viralidad.Marvel España, Netflix España o HBO en Latinoamérica también se han sumado al carro.¿Y ahora? La propia Zully Pinchi no ha dejado perder la oportunidad y ha hecho un vídeo con ‘Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu’ pero dejando claro que los mensajes de “Caramelo de chocolate” eran poemas que ella escribió hace muchos años y que compartió con Vizcarra para que le diera consejos.En cualquier caso, la canción ya está sonando en las discotecas y la seguirás escuchando durante al menos unas cuantas semanas en TikTok y durante unos meses en Instagram.En otro orden de cosas, hoy vuelve Lunes por el mundo con la última hora desde Japón, donde el ex-primer ministro Abe Shinzo fue asesinado el viernes; y Sri Lanka, donde el gobierno ha sido descabezado por las protestas multitudinarias desencadenadas por la crisis económica que vive el país.Podrás seguir el directo a partir de las 20:00 hora peninsular de España en Twitch.Feliz semana, This is a public episode.
