Emperor Akihito's efforts to remind Japanese about Japanese war history after the Manchurian Incident in 1931. In his New Year's address Akihito tried to address the importance of learning from history as memories of the war fade with the young generation- "It is important for us to take this opportunity to study and learn from the history of this war, starting with the Manchurian Incident of 1931, as we consider the future direction of our country." The Abe administration's effort to revise Article 9 of the constitution to allow "collective self-defense" is unpopular in Japan, and the Emperor nudges the Japanese people in the right direction.

This editorial after the devaluation of China's currency by 1.9% on August 11, 2015, says this could be a result of several factors- a sense that the yuan is overvalued after the decline in value of the euro currency and the Japanese yen, anticipation of rising U.S. interest rates that would affect emerging markets, and a reaction to slow growth. It cites as especially important to the Chinese leadership and president Xi Jinping and premier Li Keqiang, the July economic data that showed China's exports down by 8.3%, also reflected in declines in rail cargo and electricity use. Producer prices declined by 5.4%, another source of concern for the government. This follows the stock market volatility affecting investor confidence.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
