December 14, 2023, news tracking:
(1) A political funding scandal broke out in Japan in December. The Seiwa Policy Research Association, the largest faction of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, commonly known as the “Abe faction”, exposed the faction’s false declaration of funds for political fundraising dinners and sold funds raised from The income from meal vouchers flowed into the pockets of congressmen in the form of kickbacks, and they were not reported truthfully. In order to stop the political storm, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida resigned from the position of chairman of the Kishida faction on December 7. This is the position that Kishida has held since 2012. However, his resignation as chairman of the Kishida faction still cannot stop him. The spread of the incident.
(2) The COP28 conference ended on December 13. The 198 participating countries reached an agreement to “no longer use fossil fuels.” The result of this agreement symbolizes the determination of various countries to end the oil era. COP28 Chairman Sultan al-Jaber praised the agreement of historical significance, but still pointed out that the focus lies in implementation; the United Nations pointed out that this is the biggest step the world has taken on climate issues since the 2015 Paris Agreement. But will the new agreement help meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels? I’m afraid it’s not optimistic.
