Quick Glance: US, Britain, Australia Consider Expanding AUKUS to Deter China

The U.S., Britain, and Australia are initiating talks to expand their AUKUS security pact, with a focus on involving Japan as a deterrent against China, according to the Financial Times.

The defense ministers will discuss 'Pillar Two' of the pact, aiming to jointly develop quantum computing, undersea, hypersonic, artificial intelligence, and cyber technology.

The U.S. is advocating for Japan's inclusion in the second pillar while ruling out expansion of the first pillar, which involves supplying nuclear-powered submarines to Australia.

Formed in 2021, the AUKUS pact aims to counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The potential addition of Japan to Pillar Two is expected to be announced soon.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.

Kishida's efforts to arrange a meeting with Kim Jong Un carry political risks and could lead to a decline in his approval ratings given North Korea's reluctance, posing challenges for Japan.

Quick Glance: Study: All Japanese to Share 'Sato' Surname by 2531

Researchers predict that all Japanese will bear the surname 'Sato' by 2531 if the country maintains the current surname system.

Professor Hiroshi Yoshida from Tohoku University presented a study on Japanese surnames, examining two scenarios: the current surname system and an alternative system.

Using data from Myoji-yurai.net, the study calculated trends in the prevalence of the 'Sato' surname, forecasting that by 2531, over half of the population will share this name.

A survey revealed that even with the introduction of a selective separate surname system, 39.3% of respondents desire to have the same surname as their spouse, suggesting the continued dominance of the 'Sato' name.
