japan is a catcher. as a catcher, japan is criticized. japan doesn't have any offensive capability, not so good as a catcher. now japan has grown out of that. today japan is a good, regular catcher for the united states. they don't just received the balls thrown by the united states, we lead the united states -- come to the middle of the plate. no, don't, less is more. low down, offspeed pitch. in between the pitcher and catcher, we welcome the game strategy together with our teammates. we are a good regular catcher. i am very interested and strongly hope and believe that there is no limit to human ingenuity and the u.s.-japan alliance can go further ahead. chris: thank you. i love the baseball metaphor. i find myself thinking of o htani shohei, a japanese baseball player who can both hit and pitch. let's talk about where we have been. there have been profound changes in the international system during the time you all have been involved in the relationship from the end of the cold war, collapse of the soviet union, war on terror, conflic

sometimes, we want a more assertive japan. we pushed japan, etc. and then we are not ready to adopt that type of role. we have to be not only welcoming to it, and this may be the political person in me, when you look at the asian countries and the polling, most popular country head and shoulders is japan. huge political benefit to the united states and what we want to see done, in a way that we don't need to take the lead. japan taking the lead can get us farther with a lot of individual countries because they have 70 years of diplomacy in that region, a huge political benefit to the alliance. i want to close on this because i think we have done certain things, and this comes back to my mayor background. we talk about security, diplomacy, the region. i think one of the highlights, as a former mayor, is the people to people contacts. we have established close to $400 million of joint research projects. the university of chicago, tokyo u, now seoul national. we raised $100 million for quantum computing research from ibm and google. there is carnegie

what's next for the bank of japan. the expectations are coming into today were very low. it was going to move next to nothing, given the u.s. and japan election-related uncertainties. so, that makes governor ueda's press all the more important, given the backdrop, especially given how you think some expectation of how strong the japanese economy looks, the next move is likely to be a hike, and it's really a matter of the timing. the yen has been extending gains since the decision came out. let's also, as you say, highlight what we saw in the chinese data, because there was an expansion, this was unexpected on factory activity. in terms of stocks, it's looking flat. let's look at what we see in dollar yen implied volatility, one week, a reminder as well that it's not just about the boj, it's also about the u.s. events next week and u.s. jobs data. relatively high at 17%. >> avril hong, we thank you for that update on asian markets. i also want to bring you some more breaking earnings. we have the third quarter results c
