One friend of mine was on the fence last year because the bureaucrat position he was offered had a lower salary but was permanent after one year of trial, then it was announced that this place was going to merge with a non-governmental institution so contracts switched to a recurrent 5 year period without guarantee of renovation, he immediately accepted the private company position.

Posted in: Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki to release new film next summer See in context
Ghibli is no longer the guarantee of good movies that were beautiful and entertaining as before, for me Ponyo was the one where things began going down, other animation studios are now better in my opinion.

Too much hype for the meeting, the politics are fixed and nothing Kishida could say would change the relationship. Even if Xi is a one man government Kishida is the opposite.
