Tonight’s Japan news swings between industrial ambition and philosophical reflection. China’s humanoid robots are breaking world records while Japan faces a strategic gap — meanwhile JFE Steel fires up a new electric furnace that could slash CO2 by 450,000 tons. On the global side, a billionaire-backed consortium is throwing half a billion dollars at eradicating respiratory viruses. And in a quieter note, a piece on metrics reminds us that measuring everything doesn’t mean understanding anything. Typhoon 7 is closing in on Okinawa, and there’s movement on revising elderly driving tests — a small but important policy shift in an aging society.
