April 11, 2024, news tracking:
(1) South Korea held the 22nd National Assembly election on April 10. The largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, won a resounding victory, winning 174 seats out of 300, surpassing the 108 seats of President Yoon Seok-yue’s National Power. If the Reform Party, New Future Party and Progressive Party are included, the pan-progressive camp has won a total of 188 seats with a majority of 188 seats, but it still did not pass the 2/3 threshold for constitutional amendment. However, the “small government and large opposition” situation means that Yin Xiyue’s performance in power has been dismal in the past two years. How to coordinate and promote policies with the opposition camp that controls the majority of seats in the next three years of his term will be a big challenge for Yin Xiyue.
(2) Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida paid a state visit to Washington, the United States, on April 10. The talks focused on how to strengthen U.S.-Japan defense relations and counter the rise of China again. U.S. President Biden said that the United States will establish a joint missile and defense network architecture with Japan and Australia for the first time, and will also work with Japan to update the U.S.-Japan security treaty signed in 1960. The United States and Japan have reached about 70 defense cooperation agreements. The two sides once again discussed the tense relationship between China and Taiwan. Fumio Kishida said that today’s Ukraine may be tomorrow’s East Asia, and they will continue to cooperate to respond to and resist threats from China.
(3) Gaza welcomed the three-day Eid al-Fitr on April 10. However, due to the raging war, more than 1.7 million displaced Gazan refugees have been unable to truly celebrate this major annual festival, and the originally joyful festival has been overshadowed. Shadowed by pain, this is a different Eid than most Gaza residents remember. “We are not fine” has become an Eid greeting among Gaza residents. Many people can only stay in shelter tents to celebrate the festival. However, many people still gather in the destroyed mosques to pray and pray for war. Stop, pray to go home, and pray that the joy of the past can be restored next Eid. (Extended reading: “How Are You? We Are Not Good: Eid al-Fitr in Gaza Under the War”)
The situation of “big government and small country” represents Yoon Seok-yue’s dismal performance in power in the past two years. How will the national power control the country in the next three years… In the past 24 hours, Japan, the United States, Israel, Palestine, South Korea
