Why It Matters

The Strait of Hormuz is a key waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, through which about one-third of global liquefied natural gas and one-fifth of crude oil are transported. Iran has repeatedly used the opening of the Strait as a bargaining chip, and U.S.-Iran relations have continued to be tense since the Trump administration withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal.

Xi Jinping put the Japanese issue above the Taiwan issue during the second meeting between Trump and Xi, accusing Sanae Takaichi of promoting militarism

During a closed-door meeting at the White House on September 24, Xi Jinping spent much more time discussing the Japanese issue than the Taiwan issue, and repeatedly accused Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of promoting new militarism, including increasing military spending, opening up the use of long-range missiles, and selling offensive weapons. Trump has always affirmed Gao Shi's character and leadership, and communicated with Gao Shi on the phone immediately after the meeting. This incident highlights Xi Jinping's concerns about the post-war order and the strategic significance of the US-Japan alliance in fighting communism.

A South Korean restaurant was vandalized with spray paint by Chinese citizens because it shared the same name as Xi Jinping

A Chinese restaurant named "시진핑 (Xi Jinping)" in Bundang District, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, was broken into and vandalized by four Chinese gangsters in the early morning of September 24. They were suspected of spraying pesticides on the ingredients. The police identified the suspect through surveillance cameras that afternoon, but the four people had flown back to Shanghai, China, Yantai, Shandong and other places from Incheon International Airport afterwards. The restaurant owner revealed that he had received frequent complaints from unknown sources a few months ago, and the signboard was spray-painted with black paint two months ago. Outsiders speculate that the motive for the crime may be related to the fact that the name of the restaurant has the same name as Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
