Has Donald Trump Broken The Code Of Bushido? How Will Japan React To Tariffs?
Emperor Hirohito of Japan joins President Ronald Reagan, both dressed in tuxedos, in a toast during ... More a formal state dinner in Tokyo. One of the favourite books I have received as a gift is 'Bushido', the framework of the Japanese code of chivalry. I was given the book in the very early 2000's, when it was not yet obvious that Japan would stagnate for quite so long and, the talk was still of the collapse in Japanese golf club membership prices Indeed, one of the remarkable socio-economic trends in Japan up to the mid-1990's was the startling rise in Japanese gold club membership fees, which in the heady 1980's Japan, had become a tradeable asset, so much so that an index was created (always a warning sign). During the period 1982-1989 the average golf club membership fee rose by 400%, with a final 190% spurt from 1989 to 1990. Companies such as Ginza Golf Services initially made a lot of money trading golf club memberships and at the peak of the market some were changing hands for close to USD 3mn. Naturally, this bubble collapsed, and as a nod to the future I flag a blogpost from 'GolfProp' magazine that shows that on average entry fees for American gold club memberships have been increasing at a rate of 23% per annum since 2019. Indeed, within the past year the membership fee at Mar-a-Lago has gone up by 43% Back to Bushido, which as a noble, chivalric code developed in the 16th century, is unlike European 'Chivalry' (see Maurice Keen's book of this title is a must read) in that the idea of 'Chivalry' came about much earlier, and largely because of an effort to stop the knights of Europe killing each other in jousts and disputes. Bushido is still part of the mindset of many Japanese, and Japan is increasingly unique as a country where very strong social codes frame behaviour. To that end, the sense of bushido and Japanese diplomacy will have been taken aback by the unexpected decision by President Trump's to slap a 25% tariff on America's main allies in Asia, Japan and South Korea. Japan has always enjoyed close ties to the US (Al Alletzhauser's 1990 book 'House of Nomura' is a very good account of how America helped build the modern Japanese financial and corporate system). I have a sense that another book of that era, Ezra Vogel's 'Japan as Number One', seems to have stuck in Trump's mind (in the 1990's he went on CNN to castigate Japan American foreign and trade policy on Japan). Trump and 'bushido' are anathema to each other, and the Japanese will be disappointed by his behaviour, given that Tokyo has always had close relationships with American presidents – though never as close as that with Jacques Chirac who visited Japan over 40 times (for various reasons which I shall not disclose). The potential rupture in relations between Tokyo and Washington introduces a strategic dilemma for Japan, at a time when its economy is awakening from decades of slumber. Like the UK, Japan's geopolitical moorings are coming unstuck. President Macron's state visit to London shows the direction of travel for the UK on security and defence, and whilst it is accelerating defence spending, Japan may end up considering more radical solutions for its defence in the context of Chinese belligerence (in 2024 Japan's air force scrambled jets 704 times against incursions by Chinese and Russian jets). For instance, Japan is the one country that could quickly build a nuclear weapons programme, if it needed to. What is interesting in the Japanese case is that as geopolitical uncertainty rises, its economy and financial markets are thawing. The property sector is just reaching levels last seen in the early 1990's (while Tokyo prices have recovered beyond 1991 levels, the rest of the Japan's residential market is still below the price point reached then). Having suppressed bonds yields for a long time, the Bank of Japan is now raising rates, and Japanese bond yields have been pushing higher, and given the size of the Japanese bond market (and the balance sheet of the Bank of Japan), it is driving yields higher internationally, and deserves watching as a medium-term risk to markets. However, while bond yields are rising in the absence of yield curve control by the central bank, factors that are regarded as engines of the economy – earnings, consumer behaviour and employment are more muted, and give rise to the sense that Japan is either in the ante chamber of a full recovery, or on the precipice of something nastier. Tariffs, and a confusing break with the US, could upset the Shigeru Ishiba's unpopular government (Upper House elections are soon), which is struggling in the context of a very 'un-bushido' world.

Nikita Tszyu announces the birth of his first baby, a daughter named Curiosity
Don't miss out on the headlines from Boxing/MMA. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nikita Tszyu welcomed the birth of his first child late last week, a daughter named Curiosity. Tszyu and his wife, also named Nikita, confirmed the heart-warming news on Saturday night via social media. 'Curiosity Tszyu,' the boxer wrote on Instagram. 'Named after the NASA Mars Rover, Curiosity. 'Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. 'It is this powerful force of curiosity which has led humans to become explorers, scientists, historians & artists. 'Curiosity is the everlasting flame burning in all of us that compels us to ask questions, to wonder, to learn, to grow and to know. 'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. 'May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her. 'As Curiosity's parents, we vow to nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushidō 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her.' While older brother Tim prepares for his world title rematch against Sebastian Fundora on July 19, the intensely private Nikita kept the impending birth of his daughter a closely guarded secret. The couple were married in a surprise, low key ceremony in January, with the Nikita later revealing to CODE Sports that he made their wedding rings himself. 'I melted the silver and made it in my garage – I forged it myself,' he said. 'I did my ring and her ring. I had to do about 10 different rings because I had to shape it and everything. 'I learned the art form, or how to do it in a weekend and I got the rings created in two more days. 'I'm a smelter now.' Tszyu hasn't fought since his fight of the year win over Koen Mazoudier last August, with a hand injury keeping him sidelined at the start of the year. The 27-year-old is been slated to step back in the ring in August, with a potential showdown opposite Michael Zerafa later in the year, although nothing has been confirmed.

Jon Jones opens up on ‘serious' Nate Diaz brawl on reality TV show
Jon Jones has detailed Nate Diaz 's exit from a Russian reality television show, on which the pair were working until the latter became involved in a brawl. The MMA show, which has been described as a Russian version of The Ultimate Fighter, is being filmed in Thailand, where chaos broke out on the set this week. 'We had one of our young fighters, a guy named Zalik, he was playing with Nate,' Jones told Red Corner MMA. 'He wanted to play-fight with Nate. 'Nate kind of came in a little bit on edge, I think he had some previous beef with some Russian fighters, so he was a little bit on edge when he got here. Play-fighting with Nate was not the best idea. It became serious right away, and we had to replace Nate. 'I've been around the Bushido spirit for a long time, that martial arts spirit where everybody has a certain degree of... kind of certain rules you don't cross – like a martial arts spirit and everything. I don't think there's a lot of that here. 'Some guys are like warriors, and some guys are really just kind of street fighters. There's insults, there's weapons. This show... there's nothing like it, there's really nothing like it.' Diaz's longtime friend and teammate Jake Shields, a fellow former UFC fighter, was also involved in the show until Diaz's exit. He explained the situation in a video on his YouTube channel. 'Nate went and slapped him,' Shields said, referring to the fighter who tried to grab Diaz. That led to a full-blown physical altercation, with Shields adding: 'Right when I started to go off on him, I got just blitzed from the side – not where the fighters were. 'A couple of guys just started blitzing me, which, to me, seemed like they were crew working there, not fighters – because the fighters were in the chairs. To me, it was very clear that it was the staff and the workers. That was one of those moments where it's like: 'I better defuse the situation.' 'Why are we going to go back and film a show? It's one thing to be fighting the fighters; that's why I went out there with Nate, I thought it was a possibility some of these fighters will try to test him. But when you have potentially the crew hitting you, too, it's like: 'No, f*** that.'' Diaz, 40, left the UFC in 2022 after submitting Tony Ferguson in the final fight on his contract. Since then, the American has boxed twice, losing to YouTuber Jake Paul on points and beating fellow UFC veteran Jorge Masival via decision. Meanwhile, Jones . Jones, a former two-time light-heavyweight champion, holds the regular heavyweight title, while Aspinall owns the interim version. Despite that dynamic, which has existed since November 2023, the 37-year-old Jones has continued to dismiss a fight with Aspinall, 32. Britain's Aspinall actually chose to defend the interim title, in a rare move, retaining it last July while waiting for Jones to defend the regular belt against Stipe Miocic. Jones stopped Miocic to retain his title in November, a year after the pair were initially due to fight, with an injury to Jones delaying the bout by 12 months. Still, Aspinall has failed to book a fight with the American, who is considered the greatest fighter of all time by some fans, despite Jones's numerous failed drug tests and run-ins with the law.
