小島嶼国の大統領は日本の外相ともマカオのギャングとも仲良くしないとサバイバルできないのだ。
追記：歯っ欠け駒さんをパラオにひい入れたのは郵便局長とのタレコミあり！
このブログは外務省の方が、太平洋島嶼国がわかる唯一のサイトと、半分外交辞令としても嬉しいコメントをいただいており、続ける励みになっている。内々に情報提供することもあるが今回は全てメディアに掲載されているので表で書く。
郵便学者内藤陽介先生は私が扱う太平洋島嶼国のような一見国際社会の表舞台と関係無さそうに見える国や、地域、人、組織を追う研究者でビデオをよく拝見している。
その内藤先生が昨日、香港、マカオのことを語っており「歯っ欠け駒」と言う極悪人が出てきて「え！」と思った。
あのBroken toothか？ パラオ大統領のお友達、なのだ。

K14の存在もこのWan Kwok-koi (尹國駒)のことも全く知らなかったし、知りたくない気持ちが大きい。しかし、日本と米国が今後関係を強化して行くパラオの、しかも大統領案件なのだ。
河野大臣にこのことは伝わっていないであろう。私は早速INDOPACOMのインテリジェンス関係や知り合いにこの情報を回覧した。米国はインテリジェンスがしっかりしているから流石に知っているとは思うが結構落としていたりする情報もあるのだ。それほどパラオの、太平洋島嶼国の越境犯罪は日常的に、しかも島のリーダーが政府の事業として行っているのだ。
まずはこの中国語のニュース。
尹國駒投資2000億港幣，與帛琉政府簽約99年，打造洪門經濟特區

200 billion Hong Kong (３兆円？）のお金を集めてパラオのアンガウルに一大ゲームセンター、すなわちカジノを建設する計画だと言う。パラオはHongmen（洪門、アジア版フリーメイソン？）にすでに加盟しブロックチェーンも初めていると言う。
下記にこの中国の記事を渡部 悦和氏が英訳してくれたので添付します。
この４月２日の記事には大統領が歯っ欠け駒のビジネスを認める文書にサインしたことが書かれている。アンガウルを99年リースをしたと言う。そしてカジノリゾートにはHongmenの出資があることがここにも書かれている。
この７月２日の記事は歯っ欠け駒の妻が入国しようとしたところをパラオ法務省が入国を拒否したことが書かれている。
このニュースも興味深い。歯っ欠け駒がパラオ滞在中に移民データがhackされたと言う。政府内部に協力者がいた可能性は高い。現在米国と協力して改善中だと言う。（しかし技術の問題より大統領の倫理の問題ではないのか？）
先日から書き始めたバヌアツで行われていた仮想通貨犯罪。そんな越境犯罪を招き、政府がアレンジする基盤が太平洋の楽園の島にはあるのだ。主権ビジネス ー 自決権という曖昧な概念の結果である。

Wan Kuok-koi invested 200 billion Hong Kong dollars and signed a contract with the government for 99 years to build the Hongmen Special Economic Zone.
In 2012, a brother-in-law Wan Kuok-koi who had been in Macau was released from prison. The 13-year prison life was like a retreat for him. After he was released, Wan Kuok-koi attended high-profile banquets and even became the big brother of Hongmen. Hong coins, the introduction of Hongmen tobacco and alcohol and watches and other products, it seems that the collapse of the gums is back.

‘Casino, illegal in Palau’: Remengesau dispels reports of him promoting casino - Island Times
President Tommy Remengesau Jr. yesterday reiterated his longstanding opposition to the establishment of casinos in Palau, saying it is illegal, ruling out an endorsement of such activity under his administration.
Remengesau said this is in response to a report that former Macau gambling triad leader, Wan Kuok-koi is reportedly investing in Palau to open a casino resort.
“Casino in Palau is illegal and the Office of the President will not endorse it,” Remengesau told Island Times in a phone interview.
The president said Wan was brought to his office for a courtesy call with Jin Pin Hotel representatives but at that time was unaware of his identity.
Last week, Remengesau said the Taiwan government alerted him about Wan’s criminal record.
Wan went to prison in 1999 on charges illegal gambling, loan-sharking, criminal association, and attempted murder of the chief of police in Macau. He was released from jail in 2012, after serving his sentence.
According to reports, Wan again re-entered the casino business.
A check with the Attorney General’s Office showed that Wan Kuok-koi along with three other individuals formed a non-profit organization called Palau China Hung-Mun Cultural Association.
The non-profit organization signed by President Remengesau on Feb. 25, 2019 stated that its aim is to “promote better understanding, acceptance, and exchanges of Palauan cultures and practices to the foreigners, especially Chinese people in or traveling to Palau.”
As a non-profit organization, the association is barred from engaging in businesses in Palau.
The non-profit organization made no mention of establishing a gambling establishment nor did it mention that it is planning to engage in any business in Palau.
“The Charter does not mention a casino or panchinko concession. Such activities would not be within the acceptable activities of a non-profit organization chartered under Palauan law and operating in the Republic,” a statement from the AG’s office stated.
Palau China Hung-Mun Cultural Association named incorporators are Wan, Bowen Xiao, a national from Vanuatu and two Palauan nationals, Postmaster General Timothy Sinsak, and Airai Governor Tmewang Rengulbai.
Remengesau said as far as he knows, the association’s application went through the vetting process of the AG’s Office.
“All I did was sign a non-profit charter that has gone through the process at the Corporate Registrar at Attorney General’s Office,” Remengesau said.
The president said the non-profit organization is not an approval to establish a casino in Palau.
The president said he is unaware of any other business venture Wan might have entered into with individuals in Palau but reminded investors that gambling is not allowed in Palau.
The statement from the AG office also said that the chartered organization also made “no reference to Angaur or a 99-year lease.”
The AG office said the organization is “limited to traditional purposes for non-profits including scientific, religious, educational, or charitable purposes.” (By Bernadette H. Carreon)
