abruptly canceled showings of a new horror. flick, starring, we need the fool. is it a case of self censorship? ah, irishman, you welcome to did up the news asia glad you could join us the past few days have seen the articulation of 2 very different visions of international governance. one based on might the other based on rules and to leaders from asia have symbolically represented these visions, chinese president, she jumping matters down to about vladimir putin in moscow on the same day japanese prime minister for me. okay. she, there wasn't keith meeting president vladimir zalinski. japan has already sanctioned russia taken in ukrainians and provided more than $7000000000.00 in assistance to cave. but because she does visit took everyone by surprise,

including japanese citizens. i'm well done to japan, foreign ministry. i'm usually frustrated with their diplomacy, but this time i think it, it very well. my only concern is how we can come up with the money to fund a to ukraine as a japanese person. i wonder about that. but the pledge cuz she did made was a good thing for the people in ukraine. women, i hope to pans action will lead to peace. but i want to criticize or deny the importance of what he did without it will have a positive outcome. i think he should have made the visit with the same intention. jeremy, for more now is japan foreign policy specialist doctor ellie katerina paul camp. she's a visiting fellow in the isha program at the think tank. the european council on foreign relations are to pull up. why ease japan supporting ukraine? japan has strongly condemned the kremlin invasion and unilateral changes to the status quo by force and about to defend the international order based on the rule

of law and to record war against ukraine and the wrong type between moscow and beating the perceptions of security have drastically changed around the world, and the pam has tracked that the ration. the gratian is a direct read to, to cure a t p asked ability not only for europe, but for the into the big and the yawned as well. and here by having concerns around the situation in the east and south tennessee and in the taiwan trade in mine. and i was concerned the role that china would be encouraged to take similar actions possibly invade taiwan. japan, curiously alarm that as prime minister kish has said, europe today can be up to morrow. japan has provided aid and sanctioned russia prime minister. you should, i could've easily left it at that. why the need to make a personal visit to give it is actually you should have

referred posts for prime minister to visit an active warrant on. and this one's provide the kitchen w, a port unity as the chair of the g 7 to reaffirm the 7th values and emphasize respectful sovereignty and territorial integrity. and these are principles that any country can rounding behind. but that is very important that the. com as the sole age and member of the 7th, and continued to write the flag. but also whether intended or not. the business may has the strong symbolism, especially because it was taking place at the same time while president she was visiting president. and so that way slid of what the 2 countries stand for. i'm not take the partial position of the conflict and ukraine and japan clearly does not. and of course, it was the signature count of china, media and diplomacy and present

a symbolic and stark contrast to china. but also it was a huge recreation for europe and european allies that the palm clearly european security and stability of one to fiji being. and from your case, she does visit say about divisions in asia to the war in ukraine as well. as i said before, it clearly shows what each country is standing for and what country and what country of defense, what kind of values. and of course, it shows a clear contrast of these 2 countries. and clearly what kind of positions they take but it, so these 2 countries are what about the other countries in asia? do these 2 ways that you have talked about represent in any way what the rest of the countries in the region are following, or is that

a 3rd and perhaps 4th way as well? well, as i said, department 10, follow up on the brandy and for the integrity and a territorial integrity. and japan clearly has that. these are values that not all solely democracies have to stand behind the what japan clearly trying to do is to remy allies. i'm that i'm the lime the new strong and stronger your political role. japan wants to play and to defend the value of time a standing for by showing strong leadership in the defense of european and international security. and so he's trying to build a broader coalition and a rally behind like minded partners for him. and this includes also countries like so isn't countries or countries from the global style where she

tried to emphasize get him to dialogue and, and clearly communicate with countries given the, where the japan has been taking a need when it comes to sanctions against russia, support for ukraine, a personal visit to keep it quite apparent that took years, potentially the foremost partner for the west in the asian region. yes, i was strong, you ally and of the strong us ally and as a member of the g 7. and presently the chair of a japan is clearly one of the key allies and partners for the west in be in the pacific and in asia. and the, a very important one. and especially since the palm has as shown, commitment to, to beef up. it's the president on the international stage and to defend the

national democratic values and the rule of law. clearly, corporate alliances have been improving and have been enhanced. relieve the thank you so much for speaking to us today. dr. l. e. kathrina full. com. thank you so much, much ah, cinemas in hong kong and macau has kept plans to show a horror film featuring a twisted version of we need to pull the films distributor, announced it's great regret over the cancellations on facebook, but gave no other explanation. yes, a quick look at what audiences will be missing. ah, you know, you're the 1st person i've shown this place to. my mom's in special ed soon will be christopher moore. you should be close now. we're not going to find them will pu piggly

e or we were friends for many years. no out with critics have largely band. we need the full blood and honey as heavy on gore and jump scares, but lacking in plot and humor. many in hong kong suspect the reviews have little to do with the decision to pull it from theaters. basketball from correspondent phoebe gong. phoebe, it doesn't come with a surprise that cinemas won't show this film in hong kong while it settles 5050 for many people in hong kong. ellen and also those in the theme industry that according to what i learned from the theme distribute and also the

authorities, it seems that it was the decision of the cinemas to can. so the screenings at the very last minute that the theme distribute a told dw, that they really wanted to be least a theme. but we're only informed of the cancellation on this monday. so that was our only 3 days ahead of the public screening. and they were given no reasons by the cinemas. so originally there are 30 cinemas are which are like, or lodge, and mainstream cinemas. and hong kong they who agree to of, to play a 2 showed a theme. but like they, they a poured out one by one, let's just say say i, i had after for these. so, and none of them have given any explanation. and the authorities, actually, they attribute a cancellation to what a quote as are purely commercial decisions. so we must say one on one hand is not unusual for such thing to happen because it is not the 1st theme to be poor by

cinemas after the national security law was imposed in hong kong. but on the previous bands, fans who are mostly about protests and politics. so on the other hand is also surprising that this is the very fast went into poor theme to abandon hong kong boy marked the character. winnie the pooh? reeves alarm bells for cinemas in hong kong. well, many matches since and also that the members from the general public. cory lays the out the bare to on chinese lead as using pings, and it began back in 2013 when the chinese leader shooting ping, if he visited the night to stay to mit or his counter park. the u. s. president barack obama at that time. and some madison's and also like online commentators made means about to 2 of them walking side by side and to compare the 2 i went to pool and ticker in the cartoon. so late since that in the we see i like many symbols, i like about like when it

a pool or which represents judging p online on dissenting artworks and even as many protest among chinese and hong kong citizens. so like the chinese authorities actually sensor wanted to pull from chinese social media, but that has never happened before in hong kong. china's possible measures since the 2020 national security law. that gives a thought of these grew to muscle to sensor entertainment. what cases have you seen while since the national situational was imposed to government also produce a new of themed censorship law in hong kong in 2021. so it gives grace great. a power for the official censor took bar and the themes that they think may endanger national security in broader sentence. so since and we've seen early more and more independent themes and movies to be uh, banned from cinema because they refuse to amend the scenes in their artwork lay

according to the what passed off the authorities. and a many of them they just chose to. i released a theme overseas, so upset in the past many of the themes they, those bands, themes for about a politics or protest or social issues. and i just ready, i read to see like a commercial for him to be banned in hong kong. relieve a bill, thank you so much for joining us today. phoebe cong and that does it for today. there's a frost mall on our website. we're back here to morrow. you then so we don't need to grow everything as well. there's no need to grow the brain or the skin or the central nervous system or the internal organs. 2 we're just creating to meet. 2 the end of the age of meet the final episode in our series. that great meet
