Government to Inject an Additional 800 Billion Yen into Rapidus
The Japanese government plans to allocate an additional 800 billion yen (5.2 billion USD) to leading semiconductor startup Rapidus under its supplementary budget proposal.π²π²π²
The government has already pledged up to 920 billion yen in funding for Rapidus. However, it is estimated that the company will require an additional 4 trillion yen to achieve its goal of mass-producing 2-nanometer semiconductors by 2027.πππ
This significant investment in Rapidus is part of the governmentβs efforts to revive Japanβs once-dominant semiconductor manufacturing industry, which has fallen far behind global leaders like Taiwan and South Korea.β¨β¨β¨

Japan Holds Sado Mine Memorial Despite Boycott by South Korea
Despite a last-minute boycott by South Korea, Japan proceeded with a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mine on Sunday. The event highlights tensions between the two neighbors over the issue of forced labor involving Koreans before and during World War II.πππ
South Koreaβs absence marks a significant setback in the rapidly improving relations between the two countries, which had set aside historical disputes since last year to prioritize U.S.-led security cooperation.
The Sado Mine was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July after Japan reluctantly acknowledged the mineβs dark history. As part of this recognition, Japan pledged to hold an annual memorial ceremony to honor all victims, including the hundreds of Koreans conscripted for labor at the site.π¬π¬π¬

Bitcoin Hits Consecutive All-Time Highs
The price of Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, surpassed $99,000 per Bitcoin (approximately Β₯15.3 million) on the 22nd, setting new all-time highs for consecutive days.

CO2 Emissions Trading to Become Mandatory for Companies Emitting Over 100,000 Tons Annually
On November 20, Japanβs Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced its plan to mandate participation in a CO2 emissions trading system starting in fiscal 2026 for companies emitting more than 100,000 tons of CO2 annually. This policy is expected to apply to approximately 300β400 companies across industries such as steel, power generation, aviation, logistics, and food manufacturing. Each company will be allocated an βemissions quota,β and penalties are being considered for companies that exceed their assigned quotas.πππ
Emissions trading is a form of βcarbon pricing,β a system that imposes fees based on the amount of CO2 emitted, and is being widely adopted globally as a means of reducing CO2 emissions. In Japan, the government launched the Green Transformation (GX) League in fiscal 2023, but participation has so far been voluntary and limited to certain companies. To implement mandatory participation by fiscal 2026, the government plans to submit amendments to related laws during the regular Diet session next year.πππ

Chinaβs Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson announced on Friday that from November 30, 2024, to December 31, 2025, the country will expand its visa exemption program to include Japan, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, and others.
