昨年の2021年月刊正論新年号にバヌアツとパラオを結ぶ中共カジノシンジケートの件を書いた。米国のインテリジェンスから照会があり情報をアップデートしていたところ、色々と変化があることがわかった。
赤道を挟んだバヌアツとパラオも意外だが、10年以上前からミクロネシア連邦のヤップ州とサモアを結んだ中共カジノシンジケートの動きもある。
Exhibition and Travel Group ーETGは中国のリゾート開発企業でヤップとサモアに大型のリゾート計画を提案していた。ヤップでは住民反対運動が起こり、そのメンバーに知り合いもいたので身近にフォローしていた時期がある。ヤップの反対運動を展開する人々はサモアでも同様な動きがあることを知り、情報共有をしていた。これぞネットシチズンの動きだ。
Yap is having serious second thoughts about Chinese tourism
（Yap ETGで検索するとニュースはかなりたくさん出てくる）
ETGは今でもヤップにいるが、所有しているホテルVillage View Resortは閉鎖とのこと。もう中国の脅威はヤップから消えていく様子だが、油断はできない。
Last year, in the 2021 New Year's issue of the monthly Seiron, I wrote about the CCP casino syndicate linking Vanuatu and Palau. I was updating my information when I received an inquiry from U.S. intelligence, and found out that a lot has changed.
Vanuatu and Palau across the equator is surprising, but there is also a move by the CCP casino syndicate that has been linking Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia and Samoa for more than 10 years.
The Exhibition and Travel Group (ETG) is a Chinese resort development company that has been proposing large resort projects in Yap and Samoa. In Yap, there was an opposition movement by the local residents, and since I knew some of the members of the movement, I was following it closely. The people developing the opposition movement in Yap knew that there was a similar movement in Samoa, and they were sharing information. This is the Internet Citizen movement.

(Search for Yap ETG and you'll find quite a lot of news)
ETG is still present in Yap, but their hotel, Village View Resort, is closed. It looks like the Chinese threat is fading from Yap, but we can't be too careful.
Yap の Village View Resort
サモアの方はどうか？ETGは追い出されたようだが、オンラインカジノは活発な様子だ。ライセンスは、あのジェームズ・ミッチナーも愛した「アギー・グレイホテル」に与えられている。このホテルは現在中国人の手に渡っている。その背景には2009年の津波と2012年のサイクロンで大きな被害を受けたことがある。
How about Samoa, where ETG seems to have been kicked out, but the online casinos seem to be active. The license has been given to the Aggie Grey Hotel, a favorite of James Mitchener. This hotel is now in the hands of the Chinese. This is due to the fact that it was severely damaged by the tsunami in 2009 and the cyclone in 2012.
