Whitehead examines Kazuo Ishiguro's sixth novel, Never Let Me Go. Narrated by thirty-one-year-old Kathy H., the novel looks back to her life at the boarding school of Hailsham and the close ...friendships that she developed there with her fellow schoolmates Tommy and Ruth. Ishiguro's novel complicates the vision of the humanities and to a large extent unravels the connections that Martha Nussbaum makes between reading, empathy, caring, and the healthy society. Ishiguro's alternative England requires absolute passivity and acquiescence from the clones, whom it has created entirely for the purposes of organ harvesting once they reach maturity. Although reading works of Victorian fiction may cultivate good "carers," this outcome exacts a considerable price; their contact with the Victorian novel also offers the clones an inappropriate imaginative template of social advancement that raises false hopes in a society that denies them any future.

Among other acts, in 2010 Ma snubbed then former prime minister Abe during his visit to Taipei by failing to provide official transportation, as would normally have been the case-Abe took a cab-and ...urged Japan to "learn from history," a phrase frequently used by Chinese authorities to refer to insufficient apologies for the behavior of Japanese troops during World War II. In the case of Taiwan, this prudence was shown in the November 2018 local elections, when a referendum item calling for a change in the name Chinese Taipei, under which the island's athletes are permitted to compete in the Olympics, failed to pass.5 Under pressure from China, the International Olympic Committee had just before the election warned that the athletes would not be allowed to participate at all under the name Taiwan.6 Outward appearances of a steady state notwithstanding, destabilizing factors lurk in PRC-Japan-Taiwan relations. ...the Japanese government was sufficiently nettled by Taiwan voters' refusal to lift the country's ban on food imports from five Japanese prefectures near the 2011 nuclear meltdown that Foreign Minister Taro Kono suggested that Japan might no longer be willing to support Taiwan's bid to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.7 The Japanese government has become increasingly uncomfortable with the PRC's expansionist activities in the South China Sea, through which a large proportion of Japanese oil and gas imports pass, while Beijing counters that Japan has no right to operate outside its own geographic area. 2"Press Conference by the Chief Cabinet Secretary" Prime Minister of Japan and His Cabinet, May 20, 2016 u http://japan.kantei.go.jp/tyoukanpress/201605/20_p.html.

Since returning to power in December 2012, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made Japan's relations with Russia one of his foreign policy priorities. ...the Japanese leader has actively promoted ...expanding cooperation with Russia across a broad range of sectors, using the slogan that Russia is Japan's bilateral relationship with "the greatest underlying potential. Japan and Russia have long conducted regular search-and-rescue exercises between the Russian Pacific Fleet and Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). ...in November 2018, maritime cooperation moved into a new area when the JMSDF and Russia's Northern Fleet conducted their first antipiracy drill in the Gulf of Aden. ...the Japanese public has been told for decades that all four of the islands are Japan's "inherent" territory.19 Therefore, significant public opposition should be expected to any attempt to abandon Japan's claim to the larger two islands.
