据悉，前段时间日元迎来“贬值潮”，国内涌入大量游客抢购日本商品、奢侈品和旅游。当时日媒的报道中提及“在日本中国人已经越来越多，几乎统领了发达地区的商场”，由此引发了日本网络上的热议。

B | 可以看出在评论区很多人的印象中，日本经济对比中国仍然是“高高在上”的姿态，停留在过去的年代。    The USS Carney, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer in the northern Red Sea, on Thursday shot down multiple missiles and drones launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen that the Pentagon said were potentially headed toward targets in Israel.It is the first time in recent memory that a U.S. Navy ship in the Middle East has engaged missiles and drones that were not directly aimed at the vessel.It's also the first U.S. military action taken to defend Israel in the current crisis and with the U.S. and other countries trying to contain the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the possibility that an Iranian-backed proxy group fired missiles and drones at Israel is sure to increase growing regional tensions.The ship was in the northern Red Sea on Thursday evening local time when it intercepted three land attack cruise missiles and several drones, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a press briefing. U.S. officials told ABC News that the Carney had brought down eight drones launched by the Houthis.The preliminary U.S. assessment was that the USS Carney was not the target of any of the Houthi missiles or drones, according to multiple U.S. officials."We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea potentially to targets in Israel," said Ryder who added that information about the engagements was still being processed.It’s unclear from where the Houthi militia's missiles were fired but they were headed in a northerly direction, an official said.The Houthis are an Iranian-backed Shiite movement that has seized control over much of northern Yemen and has been at war with recent years while Yemen has been at war with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015.As part of that conflict, the Houthis have launched missiles and drones deep into Saudi Arabia, but it appears that the missiles intercepted on Thursday were not aimed at targets inside Saudi Arabia.Last week, Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi was quoted as saying that if the U.S. directly intervened in the Gaza conflict his group would respond by firing drones and missiles, and take other military options."There are red lines when it comes to Gaza," he said.Thursday's incident occurred during the early evening hours (local time) when the missiles and drones were detected moving northward above the waters of the Red Sea.The missiles fired by the Houthis were engaged by SM2 missiles carried aboard the USS Carney, a U.S. official told ABC News. No information was released about what weapons platform aboard the Carney brought down the 8 drones.Brig. Gen. Ryder told reporters that the intercepts had taken place over water and not land. No sailors aboard the ship were harmed according to a U.S. official.The United States has boosted its military presence in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war nearly two weeks ago.The USS Carney is part of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group that was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to deter Iran and Hezbollah from joining the Israel-Hamas war. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently extended the deployment of the Ford strike group so it can remain in the eastern Mediterranean and had ordered the deployment of additional fighter aircraft to U.S. airbases in the region.To increase U.S. deterrence of an expansion in the conflict the Ford will soon be joined in the eastern Mediterranean by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group that left Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday and could arrive in the region over the next 7 to 10 days."By posturing these U.S. naval assets and advanced fighter aircraft in the region, we aim to send a strong message intended to deter a wider conflict to bolster regional stability and of course to make it clear that we will protect and defend our national security interests," Ryder told reporters Thursday.The USS Carney had just transited into the Red Sea through the Suez Canal on Wednesday which is why the destroyer was still located in the northern stretch of that body of water that borders, Egypt, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.The missile shot down by the USS Carney will bolster the deterrence in the region and demonstrate that the show of force is serious stuff, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.The risk to U.S. forces and U.S. interests in the region has increased particularly in the wake of a deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza earlier this week that inflamed regional tensions.On Wednesday, three drones were shot down by U.S. military forces as they neared bases in western and northern Iraq, another drone was shot down near U.S. forces in eastern Syria on Thursday.A U.S. contractor sheltering in place at one of the bases in Iraq died of a cardiac arrest in one of the incidents.Al Asad airbase in western Iraq experienced indirect fire on Thursday according to a U.S. official.The Carney's shootdown of Houthi missiles opens up the possibility that the U.S. Navy may have to position more ships in the Red Sea if the U.S. commits to protecting Israel from a southern attack said Steve Ganyard, an ABC News contributor and a former Pentagon official."The larger concern is if Iran now considers U.S. ships fair game," said Ganyard. "Because if the Houthis shoot at a U.S. ship there will be little doubt that it would have been at Tehran’s direction.""That said, there is nothing to suggest, no known reason to believe that Iran wants a fight with the U.S. and/or Israel," said Ganyard. "So, hopefully things calm down."ABC News' Martha Raddatz contributed to this report.。当然也有人提醒他们现在中国一些方面的发展速度已经非常可怕了，比如电动汽车领域已经超越了日本，挑战了日本在全球的地位。

14日，日本前厚生劳动大臣舛添要一接受日本杂志的专访，主要提及他这次访问中国的行程。

C | 舛添要一曾在安倍、福田、麻生三任内阁中担任劳动省大臣的职务，政治履历非常丰富，这也是他时隔四年后再次访问中国。

D | 舛添要一认为中国的经济增长堪称奇迹——如此庞大的经济体每年都有5%的增速很难想象，这意味中国和日本的经济差距每年都在变大，日本目前已经“完全输给了中国”。

舛添要一访华对中国的“数字化进程”印象深刻，他提及中国的智能手机和遍地可以使用的智能化支付，日常生活中只需要一部手机就能处理所有的问题；而且令人难以想象的是，三十年前日本人开豪车，中国还在骑自行车；现在中国在开先进的电动汽车，而日本还在开燃油汽车。从各个方面来说，中国现在已经富裕了，但在日本的认知里面还无法接受这件事，他们不断加深“中国还很穷”的印象，但这改变不了日本已经落后的真相。

舛添要一将日本社会发展缓慢的原因归结为二：其一是美国的《广场协议》严重限制了日本经济发展，导致泡沫经济破灭；其二是日本人越来越沉迷在过去的成功中无法自拔，缺少了创新的动力导致其落后。日媒之前也提到过在全球电子游戏疯狂发展的时代，日本作为过去的游戏行业巨擘居然不思考转型，还在开发掌机等过时的东西；而全球电动汽车产业兴起时，日本也没有及时跟上时代去研发电动汽车，导致现在丰田、日产等一众企业居然在世界舞台上拿不出一款先进的电车。

这位官员还预言称：“根据我所看到的，美国的单极统治很有可能终结，下一个接管世界的将是中国”。舛添要一认为俄乌冲突的根本是西方国家先去惹了俄罗斯，美国才是最大的责任方；在加沙问题上，大部分都是被美国的选票制度捆绑的牺牲品；政客们为了选票必须要讨好一方，这就造成了悲剧。对此也有解析称：“该言论是指拜登政府对犹太人的退让，实际上他们一开始是有机会也有能力阻止在加沙发生的所有事情，但民主党意识到如果这么做他们就将失去美国庞大的犹太财团的支持；所以为了选票，拜登不得不继续向犹太人低头，让加沙地区沦为牺牲品。”
