Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương : Những thách thức quốc phòng cho Trung Quốc

TẠP CHÍ TIÊU ĐIỂM

Thế giới những năm gần đây nói nhiều về khái niệm Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương, nhưng thuật ngữ này dường như chưa bao giờ được Trung Quốc đề cập đến. Tại một khu vực từ lâu do Mỹ thống trị, đâu là vị thế của Trung Quốc ? Liệu Bắc Kinh có một tầm nhìn và một chiến lược đặc biệt cho vùng Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương ? Đối với nhiều nhà quan sát đây là một điểm thú vị. Nghiên cứu các phiên bản Sách Trắng Quốc phòng của các năm 2017 và 2019, người ta nhận thấy không một lần nào Bắc Kinh đề cập đến « Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương »1. Không những thế, Bắc Kinh thường xuyên chỉ trích mạnh mẽ khái niệm này, cho rằng đây là một hình thức phương Tây, đi đầu là Mỹ, vây hãm Trung Quốc.Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương… Nhưng điều đó không đồng nghĩa với việc Bắc Kinh không có chính sách Ấn Độ – Thái Bình Dương. Theo Tanguy Struye de Swielande2, giáo sư ngành Quan hệ Quốc tế, trường đại học Công giáo Louvain (Bỉ), trên thực tế, Trung Quốc đã dùng lại lô-gic của khái niệm này qua việc xây dựng một tầm nhìn chiến lược, kết nối hai vùng Châu Á – Thái Bình Dương, khu vực ưu tiên, vùng ảnh hưởng tự nhiên và Ấn Độ Dương, khu vực Trung Quốc tìm cách gia tăng sự hiện diện như tại Maldives, Seychelles, Sri Lanka.Vùng châu Á – Thái Bình Dương, xuất phát từ Hoàng Hải, băng qua biển Hoa Đông và eo biển Đài Loan, để rồi đi xuống Biển Đông, là khu vực mà Bắc Kinh có yêu sách chủ quyền nhiều nhất. Từ góc nhìn quân sự, khu vực này tạo thành tuyến phòng thủ đầu tiên. Chính sách này của Trung Quốc được thể hiện rõ qua việc xây dựng và quân sự hóa nhiều đảo nhân tạo hay tự nhiên (như tại quần đảo Trường Sa, bãi cạn Scarborough, Hoàng Sa).Trong một mục tiêu dài hạn đến năm 2049, từ tuyến phòng thủ đầu tiên này, Trung Quốc có thể triển khai đến chuỗi đảo thứ hai (quần đảo Ogasawara, Saipan và Guam) và thậm chí có thể thiết lập tuyến phòng thủ thứ ba gần Hawai. Trong khuôn khổ tham vọng này, Bắc Kinh phát triển một chiến lược chống xâm nhập và vô hiệu hóa các căn cứ quân sự tiền tuyến của Mỹ nhằm ngăn chặn mọi ý đồ triển khai sức mạnh của quân đội Mỹ.… Và chiếc cầu nối Đông Nam ÁLiên quan đến Ấn Độ Dương, ở Trung Quốc, những người theo trường phái Alfred Mahan – một sĩ quan hải quân, nhà sử học và chiến lược gia hải quân người Mỹ thế kỷ XIX – tỏ lập trường rất rõ ràng : « Ai kiểm soát được Ấn Độ Dương sẽ làm chủ được châu Á. Ấn Độ Dương là lối thông ra bảy vùng biển trên thế giới. Vận mệnh của thế giới trong thế kỷ XXI sẽ do Ấn Độ Dương định đoạt ».Thế nên, đối với Trung Quốc, việc hiện diện tại Ấn Độ Dương trở nên thiết yếu, do đó là những tuyến hàng hải đến châu Phi và Trung Đông để nhập khẩu nguyên nhiên liệu, và đi đến châu Âu để xuất khẩu hàng gia công. Hệ quả là Trung Quốc tăng cường hiện diện quân sự, như mở căn cứ quân sự ở Djibouti, hay hiện diện quân sự ở cảng Gwadar, Pakistan.Trong chiến lược này, khu vực Đông Nam Á giữ vai trò địa chính trị quan trọng đối với Trung Quốc. Điều này được thể hiện rõ qua việc phát triển chính sách Những Con Đường Tơ Lụa Mới của Bắc Kinh. Kiểm soát được Hiệp hội các quốc gia Đông Nam Á (ASEAN) sẽ giúp Trung Quốc dễ dàng tiến ra Thái Bình Dương và Ấn Độ Dương.Một điểm khác cho thấy tầm quan trọng của khu vực là eo biển Malacca. Nút thắt « yết hầu » này có thể đẩy Trung Quốc rơi vào thế yếu nếu hạm đội Mỹ phong tỏa vùng biển chặn đường tiếp nhiên liệu cho Bắc Kinh, trong trường hợp xảy ra xung đột với Washington.Để giảm thiểu nguy cơ này, Trung Quốc phải tăng cường hiện diện trong khu vực và nhắm đến việc hộ tống các tầu hàng. Tuy nhiên, điều này có nguy cơ dẫn đến phản ứng quân sự từ một số nước Đông Nam Á, xem chính sách này của Bắc Kinh như là một mối đe dọa cho an ninh quốc gia.Khủng hoảng eo biển Đài Loan 1995-1996 : Cột mốc!Nhưng ngoài việc tìm cách mở rộng ảnh hưởng, bảo đảm an toàn giao thương hàng hải, mục tiêu sau cùng của Trung Quốc là làm thế nào « xua đuổi » được Hoa Kỳ ra khỏi vùng ảnh hưởng trực tiếp để có thể áp đặt các ý muốn của mình tại khu vực.Trả lời phỏng vấn tạp chí DSI, số đặc biệt tháng 10-11/2023, nhà địa chính trị Valérie Niquet, chuyên gia về Trung Quốc và Đông Nam Á, từng nhận định đây sẽ là một thắng lợi cho Trung Quốc nếu nước này « thuyết phục được các quốc gia trong khu vực rằng Hoa Kỳ không có chỗ trong vùng, và làm cho Mỹ nhận thấy rằng việc quyết định phiêu lưu xung đột với Trung Quốc sẽ trả một cái giá rất đắt. »Do đó, mọi nỗ lực của Trung Quốc là tập trung cho cuộc chiến thông tin, cuộc chiến gây ảnh hưởng và nhất là phát triển một đội quân hùng mạnh nhất thế giới từ đây đến năm 2049, theo như mục tiêu mà chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình đề ra. Chuyên gia quân sự Mathieu Duchatel3, giám đốc chương trình châu Á, Viện Montaigne, cho rằng, để hiểu rõ những tham vọng quân sự này của Trung Quốc, cần phải lồng sự việc trong vấn đề Đài Loan.Cuộc khủng hoảng eo biển Đài Loan lần thứ ba năm 1995-1996 là động lực thúc đẩy chương trình hiện đại hóa Quân Đội Giải phóng Nhân dân (PLA) trong nhiều lĩnh vực. Mục tiêu là nhằm có được khả năng đánh gục Đài Loan bằng vũ lực, đồng thời có thể ngăn chặn Mỹ can thiệp, tiếp cận các chuỗi đảo đầu tiên.Trong một kịch bản tốt nhất, khả năng chống xâm nhập của Bắc Kinh đủ ngăn cản Hoa Kỳ can thiệp. Nhưng trong kịch bản tồi tệ, đối đầu trực tiếp giữa Mỹ và Trung Quốc có thể xảy ra. Do vậy, Tập Cận Bình nhân kỳ đại hội đảng lần thứ 19 đã tuyên bố rằng Trung Quốc phải có một « đội quân tầm cỡ thế giới từ đây đến năm 2050 ». Điều đó cũng đồng nghĩa với việc Trung Quốc phải có một quân đội chiến lược « ngang vai, ngang vế » với Hoa Kỳ.Năm 2023, Trung Quốc dành đến 225 tỷ đô la cho quốc phòng, tăng hơn 7%, một mức tăng cao nhất tính từ năm 2019. Đương nhiên, Hoa Kỳ vẫn là cường quốc quân sự hàng đầu thế giới với mức ngân sách quốc phòng hàng năm dành ra là gần 800 tỷ đô la, chiếm đến 39% tổng chi tiêu quân sự toàn cầu.Lột xác !Nhưng từ năm 2010, Trung Quốc đã có mức ngân sách quốc phòng đứng hàng thứ hai trên thế giới. Theo nhà địa chính trị Fabrice Ravel4, điều thật sự thú vị là « từ 26 năm qua, ngân sách quốc phòng của Trung Quốc tăng đều đặn. Đây là điều không thể tưởng. Chưa có một nước nào trên thế giới có một sự tăng trưởng trong một quãng thời gian dài như thế. Nhất là mức tăng này chiếm đến gần 500% ngân sách. Đây thật sự là điều đáng quan tâm. »Trong quá trình hiện đại hóa quân đội, Trung Quốc dành ưu tiên cho hai thành tố chính. Thứ nhất là lực lượng hải quân. Từ một lực lượng bảo vệ bờ biển, phòng thủ, hải quân Trung Quốc biến thành một lực lượng hải dương có thể triển khai xa bờ và làm chủ nhiều loại tầu chiến tân tiến, mang tính biểu tượng cao. Chuyên gia Fabrice Ravel nhận định tiếp :« Lần đầu tiên hải quân Hoa Kỳ cho rằng Trung Quốc đang qua mặt Mỹ về số lượng. Họ ước tính rằng Trung Quốc có hơn 360 tầu chiến so với con số 297 của hải quân Mỹ. Đáng chú ý hơn nữa là khả năng sản xuất và lắp ráp các loại tầu chiến lớn có tính biểu tượng cao. Đầu tiên là tầu ngầm hạt nhân. Người ta ước tính Trung Quốc có khả năng cho xuất xưởng một chiếc mỗi 15 tháng. Nếu tiếp tục lắp ráp theo nhịp độ này, từ đây đến năm 2030, Trung Quốc sẽ có 13 chiếc tầu ngầm hạt nhân. Điều đó có nghĩa là Bắc Kinh sẽ có nhiều tầu ngầm hạt nhân trong vùng hơn Mỹ. Thứ đến là hàng không mẫu hạm. Trung Quốc đã mua một chiếc từ Ukraina năm 1998 và đã cho cải tạo, trang bị lại. Tiếp đến Trung Quốc cho hạ thủy hai chiếc khác, trong đó chiếc Sơn Đông đã chính thức đi vào hoạt động. Cùng lúc Bắc Kinh gia tăng số hàng không mẫu hạm, trang bị thêm chiến đấu cơ (…) Điều thú vị là Trung Quốc dành đến 5,5 tỷ đô la cho việc thiết kế và lắp ráp hàng không mẫu hạm. Trong triển vọng này, Trung Quốc sẽ có thêm bốn chiếc trong thời gian sắp tới. Giới chuyên gia Canada cho rằng mục tiêu của Trung Quốc là có khoảng một chục chiếc hàng không mẫu hạm. »Lĩnh vực thứ hai được Trung Quốc ưu tiên đầu tư nhiều là hạt nhân. Trung Quốc xây dựng 250 xi-lô để cất trữ tên lửa đạn đạo liên lục địa. Theo ước tính, lực lượng hạt nhân Trung Quốc có khoảng từ 300-400 đầu đạn nguyên tử. Con số này có thể sẽ tăng lên vào khoảng 1000 trong thời gian sắp tới.Emmanuel Veron, chuyên gia về Trung Quốc đương đại, trên đài France Culture ngày 29/12/2023, giải thích thêm rằng cùng với Nga và Mỹ, Trung Quốc là quốc gia duy nhất sở hữu bộ ba hạt nhân chiến thuật.« Thứ nhất là bộ phận không quân với các loại máy bay ném bom chiến lược, vốn đã trải qua quá trình hiện đại hóa rất đáng kể, từ 15 - 20 năm qua với các chương trình trang bị vũ khí, có khả năng mang bom hạt nhân. Đặc biệt là loại máy bay ném bom chiến lược H6 nổi tiếng có tầm hoạt động xa, từ Biển Đông và vượt ra ngoài Đài Loan. Đây thật sự là một vấn đề chiến thuật, đòi hỏi sự kết hợp các chiến lược ở Châu Á Thái Bình Dương với thành phần này.Thứ hai là thành phần trên bộ thông qua các xi-lô nằm ở vùng phía Tây rộng lớn của Trung Quốc, rồi ở nhiều địa điểm khác được “xếp diện bí mật”.Cuối cùng, có lẽ phức tạp hơn, khó khăn hơn, là răn đe hạt nhân trên biển, tức là bằng tàu ngầm mang tên lửa đạn đạo hạt nhân, tương đương với SSBN của Pháp đóng tại căn cứ Long Island ở Brest. Thành phần này phức tạp hơn, tinh vi hơn, bởi vì nó đòi hỏi cả khả năng chuyên chở, khả năng tàng hình của tàu ngầm và do vậy, đòi hỏi các công nghệ đặc biệt tiên tiến, cũng như khả năng trang bị một tên lửa trên tàu có hiệu quả, độ chính xác cao và có tất cả sự tinh tế, của một tên lửa hạt nhân có thể mang nhiều đầu đạn, v.v. Đây là một trong những vật thể phức tạp nhất trong hệ thống vũ khí.Ngoài ra, Trung Quốc đang nghiên cứu sâu rộng vấn đề này cùng với các hệ thống tàu ngầm AIP động cơ đẩy kỵ khí khác, vốn dĩ nằm trong mục tiêu chiến lược về Đài Loan và ở Thái Bình Dương. »Những hạn chế Một điểm khác cũng gây ngạc nhiên cho giới quan sát : Trung Quốc là quốc gia duy nhất trên thế giới có một nền công nghiệp vũ khí có thể sản xuất tất cả các loại hệ thống vũ khí cùng một lúc. Rõ ràng Bắc Kinh đang trong lô-gic tăng cường năng lực quân sự trong tất cả các lĩnh vực. Mục tiêu là nhằm có được thế ưu tuyệt đối ngay trong lòng chuỗi đảo phòng thủ đầu tiên. Nhưng đồng thời Trung Quốc cũng phát triển các khả năng triển khai bên ngoài nhằm bảo vệ các lợi ích ngoài vùng Đông Á.Nhìn chung, Bắc Kinh đã thiết lập một số điểm « thiện chiến », có thể gây khó khăn cho Mỹ trong trường hợp xảy ra xung đột. Mathieu Duchatel,dẫn ví dụ năng lực chống tầu chiến tầm xa của Bắc Kinh. Đây thực sự là một mối đe dọa nghiêm trọng cho các chiến dịch quân sự của hải quân Mỹ trong vùng. Ngoài ra, nếu nhìn trên một không gian rộng, toàn vùng Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương, với sự hợp tác của các đồng minh và đối tác khu vực, hiện tại Hoa Kỳ đã xây dựng được một không gian thống lĩnh đối phó với các năng lực quân sự của Trung Quốc.Dù vậy, giới chuyên gia cũng có chung một nhận định: một trong số các điểm yếu quan trọng của quân đội Trung Quốc hiện nay là thiếu kinh nghiệm chiến đấu. Cuộc chiến sau cùng Trung Quốc tham gia là cuộc chiến biên giới Việt Nam năm 1979. Giới quan sát đặt nhiều nghi vấn về khả năng phối hợp tác chiến liên quân của Trung Quốc. Và nhất là việc đảng Cộng sản Trung Quốc tập trung kiểm soát chính trị có thể là một rào cản lớn gây trở ngại cho quá trình ra quyết định, do ai cũng sợ phạm phải sai lầm và gánh lấy nhiều rủi ro !---------- ********** ----------Ghi chú :1.

Welcome back to this episode of BFR radio, hope you're doing well. I hope you've been enjoying these articles. I've incorporated BFR into more of a specific sports training focus. For me, this is refreshing to talk about as literature typically just focuses on BFR resistance training or just stationary cardio exercise. If we refer back to the start of this mini series, I was inspired by the Tokyo 2021 Olympic and Paralympic games, and really thought at the time that it was relevant. The first article that focused on football training, and I felt that it fitted well within the sport of football for my Northern hemisphere friends or soccer for my Southern hemisphere friends. Article two focused on running, and then article three looked at how passive BFR used prior to high intensity swimming efforts can positively influence performance. Now today's article we're back on the land and hopping on our bikes. The article I'm reviewing is called: Effects of low-intensity cycle training with restricted leg blood flow on thigh muscle volume and VO2max in young men. Abe, T., Fujita, S., Nakajima, T., Sakamaki, M., Ozaki, H., Ogasawara, R., ... & Ishii, N. (2010). Journal of sports science & medicine, 9(3), 452. If you have used BFR and cycling for your own use and seen positive results, drop me a line and let me know. It'd be really great to hear your story. And a couple of favors from me to you. If you know of someone who would benefit from this episode, please share it. Also if you're enjoying the podcast, please give it a rating on iTunes. If you're interested in purchasing your own set of BFR cuffs, please visit my website, which is sportsrehab.com.au. I can also help you with your training, so contact me via my website or DME through my socials, which is @chrisgaviglio. Thanks for listening. See you next time and remember to keep the pump.

Maybe you could talk about your ocean swimming experience in Ogasawara.Sorie: Yeah, I love swimming, you know. It's so peaceful to be there in the ocean. And the ocean in Ogasawara was very clear and you could see so many fishes and I'd love to go swimming and immersed in the ocean. It was like another world. It was very beautifulBut there was one time—oh, that time.Mark: What happened?Sorie: My friends had come to visit and so, we went fishing. But before they started fishing, I decided to go for a swim. And I swam, and I could see all the way to the bottom of the ocean. And I see this fish but they're actually not fish, they were sharks. They were white-tipped sharks.Mark: Wow.Sorie: There were four of them at the bottom of the ocean. And I just remember that one you have to do is to keep calm. So I did that. I swam out. I told my friends, "There are four sharks down there, so get me out of here." So they got me out of there but my heart was beating so fast. I was so scared.Mark: Were they dangerous? Those sharks?Sorie: Well, they're not dangerous. They might be able to like bite a finger off but I didn't want that to happen either. So as soon as I saw them, I came out of the place. Yeah, but that was so scary.Mark: Wow. Oh as far, it sounds beautiful and amazing and dangerous all the same time.Sorie: That's right. So Mark, what about you? Do you have any encounters with fish?Mark: With fish? Well, I remember fish in—don't you remember when we saw it together? We were swimming in that beach called Kominato, and we swam out around those rocks where we always went. How am I looking a pair of snorkels on it, so peaceful and pretty and like just tranquil and I'm looking at all the fish. And then suddenly, that freaky fish, it started at us. Do you remember that?Sorie: Yeah, with huge eyes.Mark: Huge eyes, and then he started coming towards us.Sorie: That's right. So in the middle of the ocean, we decided, okay, let's just split.Mark: We were swimming away from it and it was swimming after us, this little fish.Sorie: It was very small. It was like 30 centimeters long but they're really scary.Mark: Yeah, we were quite far out from the beach and we did split, didn't we?Sorie: And then what happened?Mark: I went that way and you went that way. And just guess which way it went?Sorie: My way.Mark: And it just chased you all the way into the sea, into the beach.Sorie: That's right. So I was swimming really quickly. I'm trying to get out of the beach and it was very close to me. And I thought it would bite my toes. But it didn't do anything. But I can't forget that time that a small fish got me out of the ocean.Mark: It was so weird, isn't it, like, fish don't do that.Sorie: They don't. And it was the only fish, like there were no other fish around.Mark: Strange.Sorie: Mysterious.

But firstly, can you recall any of those really, really special positive things that felt when you lived there?Sorie: It was just a very peaceful lifestyle, very connected to nature. The beaches were gorgeous. The weather was really nice. People were very warm, but yeah, after last year, that was the hardest for me. I started to miss so many things about living in mainland Japan.Mark: What kind of things did you miss?Sorie: I missed going to the movies, going to a café and sitting down and reading books and reading magazines, and all of that that comes with a big city, the cultural aspects of it.What about you? What did you miss?Mark: Yeah, those things like everything was so naturally confined, so you could—the entertainment, you knew what was going to happen. So when we came back to mainland Japan, they're so unpredictable, you could, as you say, go for a drive or take a train and stumble across some café or some restaurant that you've never seen before and go in and you're anonymous and they had a menu that you never seen before. And you could sit there and then read and enjoy that. And it was impossible to enjoy that in Ogasawara, to do such things. And there certainly wasn't any cinemas or anything like that or shopping centers or modern things.Sorie: Would you like to go back?Mark: I'd love to go back there because the community was so strong and so solid. And it felt—I wasn't born there and I'm not even Japanese but I felt completely like I was in my hometown every time I was there and totally accepted in the place and in the community.But as we found out since we've left there, the world is huge and there's so many communities and so many places all over the world. And I could go back, but I could go to a new place equally. How about you?Sorie: Personally, I found it too difficult to live so close to nature. I'd say that was a great experience but I wouldn't do it again.Mark: You wouldn't like to live so close to nature anymore.Sorie: In an island. Yeah, that's one of the things that made it so difficult. But overall, it was a wonderful experience and I recommend people to go there and see all the beautiful nature that Ogasawara has.Mark: Such nice memories.

Can you tell us the place, and where it is?Mark: Ogasawara is a group of islands that's in the Pacific Ocean. And there's no airport there and if you want to go there, you got to take a boat that goes from Tokyo. And that boat takes 25 hours to get there, and it runs just once a week.Sorie: That's right. It's 1,000 kilometers away from Tokyo.Mark: Yeah, directly south.Sorie: Okay. And the population?Mark: There's two inhabited islands in Ogasawara. One is called Chichi-jima and there's 2,000 people, roughly, there. And Haha-jima is about 400 people.Sorie: Yeah. And Chichi-jima is Father Island and Haha-jima is Mother Island. And Father Island is a little bit bigger than Mother Island.Mark: Yes. And we lived in Chichi-jima.Sorie: And we lived in Chichi-jima. That's right. And what kind of—we had an amazing lifestyle there. Do you remember how we ended up there and what we were doing?Mark: Well, our good friend Rio-san has a eco village in the mountain there. And he built the whole place on the side of a mountain with his bare hands basically, with wood and he built his home where he lives with his wife and two children. And he built loads of like cabins, as you might in Thailand or Philippines or somewhere like that, which is quite unusual in Japan. But he built these also with his own hand and he like connected them together with like wooden bridges.And yeah, that's where he lived and we really wanted to live so close to nature. So we saw Rio-san and found out that he had a little shack at a bit lower down from his house, and the girl that was living there was gonna move out. So we really wanted to move in there. So we asked him and we ended up living there.Sorie: Yeah. I remember the day we went to see that little shack. And it was extremely small, four-by-three. I would say, 4 meters by 3 meters.Mark: 4 centimeters by 3 centimeters.Sorie: It was really small.Mark: That's how small it seemed.Sorie: And it was hanging on the side of the hill. Yeah, it was raised on a scaffolding, and because it's a very wet place, so it gets really humid and you don't want any contact with the building and the land. So we were hanging on the side of the hill.Mark: And there's the ants. Do you remember the ants? They had to build it on the scaffolding because there was white ants. They called them termites, that can eat the wood.Sorie: That's right.Mark: Do you remember seeing those ants?Sorie: I remember that. I remember how scared we were when the hurricane -- the typhoons would come and the whole shack would shake. And we'd be like praying so that we wouldn't slide to the side of the hill.Mark: Do you remember our chickens?Sorie: Yeah, we had four chickens. What about our toilet, do you remember?Mark: I remember our toilet. Digging the toilet. I remember digging the toilet and making the compost and moving the toilet every now and then. I remember growing all the vegetables. I remember collecting the eggs.Sorie: Yeah. One of the hardest things was the showers. We had this solar panel-run showers, and when it was cloudy, in the middle of the winter, I would suffer. It was so hard to take cold showers.Mark: Yeah. It wasn't like very cold was it really compared to mainland Japan but it really, really did feel cold with the wind there. Like you say, when the cloud came across because there was no hot water—yeah, it was tough. But did you remember next to the showers, every two weeks or so in the winter, Rio-san would light up the—make a fire, like wood-burning fire which heated up the outdoor pool?Sorie: That's right.Mark: And there's no hot springs on the island but we got to sit in the pool, under the stars in the evening.Sorie: Yeah. There were so many great experiences and to realize also that nature is so powerful. And if you want to live with it, you have to coexist and you have to be very strong to live in a place like that.Mark: Hmm.Sorie: And do you remember also the community, how everyone was?Mark: Lovely community, wasn't it?Sorie: Hmm, because it's such a small place.Mark: Exactly. There had to be a strong community in the mountain. There's only 400 people in the mountain, wasn't there? Two thousand total. It was like a separate village from the other village.Sorie: From the main town.Mark: Yeah, everyone looking out for each other and sharing. Do you remember the fisherman who used to share his fish?Sorie: Ah! He'd bring this big chunks of tuna, fresh tuna. It was so delicious.Mark: Such good memories there, wasn't it?Sorie: Yeah, definitely.

And we've lived in several special places and I'd like to share our experience of Ogasawara.Mark: Ogasawara is amazing, isn't it?Sorie: Yeah. Can you tell us the place, and where it is?Mark: Ogasawara is a group of islands that's in the Pacific Ocean. And there's no airport there and if you want to go there, you got to take a boat that goes from Tokyo. And that boat takes 25 hours to get there, and it runs just once a week.Sorie: That's right. It's 1,000 kilometers away from Tokyo.Mark: Yeah, directly south.Sorie: Okay. And the population?Mark: There's two inhabited islands in Ogasawara. One is called Chichi-jima and there's 2,000 people, roughly, there. And Haha-jima is about 400 people.Sorie: Yeah. And Chichi-jima is Father Island and Haha-jima is Mother Island. And Father Island is a little bit bigger than Mother Island.Mark: Yes. And we lived in Chichi-jima.Sorie: And we lived in Chichi-jima. That's right. And what kind of—we had an amazing lifestyle there. Do you remember how we ended up there and what we were doing?Mark: Well, our good friend Rio-san has a eco village in the mountain there. And he built the whole place on the side of a mountain with his bare hands basically, with wood and he built his home where he lives with his wife and two children. And he built loads of like cabins, as you might in Thailand or Philippines or somewhere like that, which is quite unusual in Japan. But he built these also with his own hand and he like connected them together with like wooden bridges.And yeah, that's where he lived and we really wanted to live so close to nature. So we saw Rio-san and found out that he had a little shack at a bit lower down from his house, and the girl that was living there was gonna move out. So we really wanted to move in there. So we asked him and we ended up living there.Sorie: Yeah. I remember the day we went to see that little shack. And it was extremely small, four-by-three. I would say, 4 meters by 3 meters.Mark: 4 centimeters by 3 centimeters.Sorie: It was really small.Mark: That's how small it seemed.Sorie: And it was hanging on the side of the hill. Yeah, it was raised on a scaffolding, and because it's a very wet place, so it gets really humid and you don't want any contact with the building and the land. So we were hanging on the side of the hill.Mark: And there's the ants. Do you remember the ants? They had to build it on the scaffolding because there was white ants. They called them termites, that can eat the wood.Sorie: That's right.Mark: Do you remember seeing those ants?Sorie: I remember that. I remember how scared we were when the hurricane -- the typhoons would come and the whole shack would shake. And we'd be like praying so that we wouldn't slide to the side of the hill.Mark: Do you remember our chickens?Sorie: Yeah, we had four chickens. What about our toilet, do you remember?Mark: I remember our toilet. Digging the toilet. I remember digging the toilet and making the compost and moving the toilet every now and then. I remember growing all the vegetables. I remember collecting the eggs.Sorie: Yeah. One of the hardest things was the showers. We had this solar panel-run showers, and when it was cloudy, in the middle of the winter, I would suffer. It was so hard to take cold showers.Mark: Yeah. It wasn't like very cold was it really compared to mainland Japan but it really, really did feel cold with the wind there. Like you say, when the cloud came across because there was no hot water—yeah, it was tough. But did you remember next to the showers, every two weeks or so in the winter, Rio-san would light up the—make a fire, like wood-burning fire which heated up the outdoor pool?Sorie: That's right.Mark: And there's no hot springs on the island but we got to sit in the pool, under the stars in the evening.Sorie: Yeah. There were so many great experiences and to realize also that nature is so powerful. And if you want to live with it, you have to coexist and you have to be very strong to live in a place like that.Mark: Hmm.Sorie: And do you remember also the community, how everyone was?Mark: Lovely community, wasn't it?Sorie: Hmm, because it's such a small place.Mark: Exactly. There had to be a strong community in the mountain. There's only 400 people in the mountain, wasn't there? Two thousand total. It was like a separate village from the other village.Sorie: From the main town.Mark: Yeah, everyone looking out for each other and sharing. Do you remember the fisherman who used to share his fish?Sorie: Ah! He'd bring this big chunks of tuna, fresh tuna. It was so delicious.Mark: Such good memories there, wasn't it?Sorie: Yeah, definitely.

Endothelial expression of human APP leads to cerebral amyloid angiopathy in mice

Abstract: The deposition of amyloid {beta} (A {beta}) in blood vessels of the brain, known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), is observed in more than 90% of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. The presence of such CAA pathology is not as evident, however, in most mouse models of AD, thereby making it difficult to examine the contribution of CAA to the pathogenesis of AD. Since blood levels of soluble amyloid precursor protein (sAPP) in rodents are less than 1% of those in humans, we hypothesized that endothelial APP expression would be markedly lower in rodents, thus providing a reason for the poorly expressed CAA pathology. Here we generated mice that specifically express human APP770 in endothelial cells. These mice exhibited an age-dependent robust deposition of A {beta} in brain blood vessels but not in the parenchyma. Crossing these animals with APP knock-in mice led to an expanded CAA pathology as evidenced by increased amounts of amyloid accumulated in the cortical blood vessels. These results show that both neuronal and endothelial APP contribute cooperatively to vascular A {beta} deposition, and suggest that this mouse model will be useful for studying disease mechanisms underlying CAA and for developing novel AD therapeutics.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I join forces with my former guest from Lesson 4, Chiara Terzuolo, and finally talk about one of my passions that I had in mind when I first started the podcast–off-the-beaten-path travel in Japan. Chiara and I have 24 years of experience traveling in Japan between the two of us and are going to move beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima to discuss the places you've probably never heard of if you're only a casual Japan fan—from the delights of staying in a Japanese ryokan to a 1200 km hiking trail with 88 temples, being buried in a hot sand bath on the island of Kyushu, and scuba diving off of so islands so inaccessible that the only way there is to take a 24-hour boat ride (and is still technically part of Tokyo), we cover a lot of ground in Part 1 of our two-part series. For those of you who have ever dreamed of visiting Japan or would love to return to this incredible country to see more, you won't want to miss this episode!

英国における異文化(23):パブと酒類

「英国における異文化のシリーズ」２３回目の今日は、「パブと種類」の５回目になります。前回はマイナーなお酒を紹介させていただきましたが、今日は「ラム酒」のお話をしたいと思います。「ラム」という名前は皆さんご存知かと思います。日本ではスーパーにもいくつか並んでいたりして、目にしたことがある人は多いと思いますが、実際に買って飲んだことがある人、もしくは常用している人はあまり見かけません。日本ではおそらくあまりメジャーではないと思われますが、イギリスではとても親しまれているお酒になります。　では、「ラム」は何からできているかと言うと、「サトウキビ」から造られます。サトウキビが原料と聞くと南の方が原産なのかと思いますが、どこで作られ始めたのかについては定説が決まっていないようです。映画、「パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアン」などで海の男たちが飲んでいるシーンがありますが、これによりラム酒の売り上げが世界的に押し上げられたと言われています。　私もイギリスでいくつか「ラム酒」を飲んでみたりするわけですが、日本で普及している価格帯のものに比べるとかなり高級品がヨーロッパでは出回っているようです。それは第三のビールと本物のビールに差があるのと同じで、日本とヨーロッパのラム酒は大きく異なります。本当に高級なラムというのはこんな味なのか、とうちひしがれて帰ってきたことがあります。　イギリスのパブで飲むと、ミニチュアグラスに１㎝とか１．５㎝とか入れてもらって３ポンド半から４ポンドくらいです。為替レートの問題がありますが、中ジョッキ１杯分くらいの値段になります。強いお酒なので、本当にちょっとですが、それがまた１滴１滴が染み渡ってしまうという美味しさで、一気にグッと飲んでしまうのは勿体ない気さえします。イギリスの人はパブでビールを飲むときですら、ぐーっと一気に飲むことはせずまんべんなく時間をかけて少しずつ飲むので、それと同じといえば同じことだと思います。　日本で「ラム酒」といえばラムレーズンとかお菓子のイメージが強いと思いますが、そのフレーバーを思い出してみてください。あれを本当の純粋な液体としてストレートで味わうとどうなるか。一度お試しになってみると色々お料理のヒントが浮かぶのではないかと思います。ラムを使ったカクテルには「モヒート」と呼ばれるものがあります。これは透明なラムにライムやミント、ソーダなど糖分を加えて作るわけですけれども、私はどちらかというとストレートで飲むことが多いです。こういうものを嗜む習慣が日本にも出来るといいなと思います。日本ではスコッチはよく売れますが、ブランデーやラムは水を空けられているところがありますね。　先程「パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアン」の話をしたようにラム酒にはカリブ海とか、南の方のお酒というイメージがあるため、イギリス人にはそれなりの憧れ的なものがあったかもしれません。ちょうど九州で北海道展が流行るのと同じような気がしています。色の方の種類としては、無色のホワイト、褐色のゴールド、それをもう少し濃くしたダークというような分け方があります。その他にも様々な分け方があるようですが、ホワイトのものも美味しいですし、色がついているものは樽で熟成して作られており、スコッチと同じ原理になります。特段色がついているから高いとか、アルコール度数が高いということではありません。日本では「マイアーズ」や「ハバナクラブ」、「バカルディ」などキューバやプエルトリコのものがありますが、実は日本でもラム酒を製造しているところがあります。ケンブリッジのパブに行った際に、「Ogasawara」という名称のものが置いてあり驚きました。よく調べてみると日本にも小笠原をはじめ「ラム酒」を製造する所が８箇所もあることが分かりました。取り寄せて飲んでみたことがありますが、なかなか美味しいので皆さんにもお勧めしておきたいと思います。　もし機会がある方や興味が湧いてきたという方は、イギリスの帰りに空港で思い切り高いラムを買ってみてください。一瓶5,000円とか6,000円とか7,000円とかすると思いますが、その価格帯のラム酒は格段美味しいと思います。　日本ではあまりメジャーではありませんが、ラムがイギリスでよく飲まれているということ、その発祥からはじめて文化の話をさせていただきました。出来れば皆さんどこかで少し高級なものを試してみてください。
