The Chinese government has instructed major domestic travel agencies to reduce the number of Japan-bound tourists by 40 percent. This directive, issued in late November, specifically targets a reduction in Japan visa applications processed by these agencies. The move follows controversial remarks made on November 7 by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who suggested that a conflict in Taiwan could be a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan’s defense.

Beijing claims these comments have compromised the safety of Chinese citizens and ruined the environment for bilateral exchange. Consequently, over 4,000 flights between the two nations have been canceled for December and January, significantly impacting Japan's tourism sector. This cooling of relations marks a sharp decline for Japan, which had previously been one of the most popular destinations for Chinese travelers.

Tokyo officials are warning visitors not to buy Ueno Zoo panda reservations on resale sites, as the free tickets are being illegally sold for over 10,000 yen.

With twin pandas Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei returning to China in January. Zoo operators have strictly banned the resale of these codes and are now collaborating with website moderators to remove illicit listings.

To combat this issue, the zoo is stepping up identity checks at the entrance to ensure the person holding the ticket is the original registrant. Authorities warn that any reservation found to be purchased through a third party will be deemed invalid, potentially resulting in fans being denied entry.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced on Thursday that arrangements are currently underway for a high-level meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the United States. The summit is expected to take place in early 2026, with government sources specifically eyeing the second half of March for the visit.

This diplomatic push comes as Tokyo grows concerned over potential shifts in U.S. policy toward China and seeks to solidify the Japan-U.S. alliance. By meeting ahead of President Trump’s expected summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, PM Takaichi aims to coordinate strategic positions on regional security and trade. The Japanese Foreign Ministry plans to emphasize that long-term cooperation between allies remains the most vital factor for stability in the Indo-Pacific.

Ongoing communication between the two administrations will intensify as the March window approaches.

Sony’s decision to stop producing Blu-ray discs highlights why the format declined faster than DVDs. Although Blu-ray offered higher quality, it arrived when streaming, downloads, and file-based media were rapidly spreading. As a result, consumers and professionals had little incentive to invest long-term.

In broadcasting and production, disc-based systems like XDCAM and optical archives are also being phased out in favor of file-based workflows, cloud storage, and solid-state media. DVDs, despite lower quality, lasted longer because they peaked before digital distribution fully matured. This shift reminds creators and consumers alike to adapt early to changing technology trends and plan data storage strategies that don’t rely on physical media alone.

ME:I announced that four members will leave the group by the end of the year, with their agency contracts also ending. Media reports state that three members decided not to renew their contracts after discussions with management, citing personal reflection and responsibility.

In contrast, the group’s oldest member reportedly had her contract terminated by the agency, following repeated concerns for nightly partying and late returns during activity hiatus, lacking professionalism. These claims are based on sources familiar with the situation and have not all been officially confirmed.

US President Donald Trump announced on December 22, 2025, plans to construct a new U.S. Navy battleship measuring approximately 260 meters—matching the length of Japan's legendary WWII battleship Yamato. The vessel is envisioned to incorporate cutting-edge technologies like electromagnetic railguns for projectile launch.

Proponents highlight its potential dominance, but defense experts express skepticism, citing prohibitive construction expenses, maintenance demands, and strategic obsolescence in an era dominated by missiles, submarines, and aircraft carriers.
