– Will ships, like chips, become a major battleground for great power supremacy?
The United States, whose shipbuilding industry now has a virtually non-existent global market share of 0.1 per cent, desperately wants to make up lost ground on China.

Japan's ruling camp to pledge cash handouts in election campaigns, local media say
TOKYO - Japan's ruling coalition agreed on Tuesday to include a plan to distribute cash handouts in their election campaign pledges to help households cope with persistent inflation, media reported on Tuesday. The handout plan could add to concerns over the government's already tattered finances, as lawmakers scramble to appease voters ahead of an upper house election set for July. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior ruling coalition partner Komeito will discuss details of the plan, including the amount and whether to have an income threshold for recipients, according to local media. "If tax revenue rises (above projections), it has to be returned to all the people," a senior LDP lawmaker told reporters on Tuesday. The government shelved the idea of cash handouts in April as questions arose over the effectiveness of the handouts. But the plan has come back as the LDP resists growing calls from some opposition parties for tax cuts, which could weigh on the state finances more heavily.

Australia has stabilising role amid rising global division, says PM Albanese

REUTERS/Hollie Adams/File Photo SYDNEY - Australia will seek to disprove the "corrosive" idea that democratic institutions are failing amid significant global uncertainty, and play a stabilising role in the region, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday. In his first major speech since his centre-left Labor party was re-elected in May, Albanese said the rise of far right and far left populism elsewhere in the world was because people felt they did not have a stake in the economy and that institutions were not working for them. "We are living in a time of significant global uncertainty - and that reaches beyond just economic instability, it is the more corrosive proposition that politics and government and democratic institutions, including a free media, are incapable of meeting the demands of this moment," he said in a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra. Albanese said that while some "cynically seek to harvest it", the Australian government saw its responsibility was to disprove such perceptions. He also referred to an Australian journalist hit by a rubber bullet during protests on Sunday in the U.S. city of Los Angeles as "horrific", and said that his government had contacted the U.S. over the incident to say it was not acceptable. Albanese is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time next week on the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Canada, where the security allies will discuss tariffs and a request from the United States for Australia to increase defence spending from 2% to 3.5% of gross domestic product. Albanese has declined to publicly commit to a defence spending target, saying Australia would focus on capability needs, such as local manufacturing of missiles. "I think that Australia should decide what we spend on Australia's defence," he said on Tuesday, adding the country's ties in the Pacific and Asia were also important for its security. Australia was focussed on strengthening relationships in Asia, amid strategic competition in the region, he said. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Japan's PM Ishiba pledges 50% pay rise by 2040 ahead of elections
Mr Ishiba said it was important for the Japanese people to have a sense of security by achieving wage increases that exceed inflation. PHOTO: AFP TOKYO – A 50 per cent increase in average pay and a ¥1 quadrillion (S$8.88 trillion) economy will be the top campaign pledges for this summer's Upper House election according to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, as the date nears for voters to give their latest verdict on Mr Ishiba's administration. 'I've instructed senior party officials to make our top election pledge an aim to reach ¥1 quadrillion in nominal GDP by 2040 and increase average pay by 50 per cent or more from its current level,' Mr Ishiba told reporters in Tokyo on the evening of June 9. The pledge comes as Japan is set to deliver a verdict on Mr Ishiba's premiership as his minority government negotiates lower tariffs with the Trump administration and battles soaring inflation at home, after his party suffered a bruising defeat in general elections last October. The government will lay out some basic principles for future economic policies by the end of the week, Mr Ishiba said, adding that he wanted to share an understanding with the broader public on what a strong Japanese economy might look like. In 2024, the government had already had a goal of reaching ¥1 quadrillion in nominal GDP around 2040, but Mr Ishiba's pledge gives it fresh attention. Mr Ishiba added that it was important for the Japanese people to have a sense of security by achieving wage increases that exceed inflation. To achieve a 50 per cent increase by 2040, average pay must increase by about 2.74 per cent per year, a little more than the nominal wage increases in recent months. Japan's nominal GDP in 2024 reached a record ¥609 trillion. 'It's a very ambitious goal that must be achieved,' Mr Hiroshi Moriyama, the Secretary-General of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said on June 9 to reporters. The LDP is also eyeing a cash handout of about a few hundred dollars per person ahead of the summer elections to counter rising prices, the Yomiuri newspaper reported on June 10. The LDP is still weighing whether to add an income cap to those who can receive the handout, according to the report. The pace of inflation in Japan accelerated in April, with consumer prices excluding fresh food rising 3.5 per cent from a year earlier compared to a 3.2 per cent gain in the previous month, according to data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in late May. Rice prices have been a large factor in pushing up those prices, with the cost of the staple grain jumping 98.4 per cent in a year as of April - the highest jump in data going back to 1971. Mr Ishiba and Agriculture Minister Shinjiro Koizumi have been bent on lowering rice costs, saying that the aim is to halve prices to about ¥2000 per 5kg. Under Mr Koizumi's direction, the agriculture ministry sold stockpiled rice directly to retailers at a fixed price, bypassing the usual supply chain that includes collection agencies and wholesalers. Those attempts appear to have paid off, with recent polls indicating a bump in Mr Ishiba's popularity. Mr Ishiba's approval ratings increased 6 percentage points to 39 per cent, according to a poll by public broadcaster NHK released on June 9. A separate poll by broadcaster ANN also showed a 7 percentage point increase to a 34 per cent approval rating. The NHK poll also showed that about 74 per cent of respondents thought favourably of the plan to sell the stockpiled rice at a fixed price instead of an auction.
