My comment:
(a) Apparently besides the December exercise on retake of Senkaku Islands, there is a November missile defense test by a Japanese destroyer.
(b) For JS Kirishima, see JDS Kirishima (for Japan Defense Ship* Kirishima)

* Inside Japan it is officially 自衛艦 Self Defense Ship.

(i) JDS Kirishima (DDG-174)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDS_Kirishima_(DDG-174)
(named for Mount Kirishima)

霧島山: 九州南部の鹿児島県と宮崎県県境付近に広がる火山群の総称.

(ii) Kongō class destroyer

(builders: Mitsubishi and IHI Corp. from 1990-1998; a modification of the United States Navy's Arleigh Burke class destroyer; section 2 Namesakes: All Kongō-class destroyers take their names from Japan's mountains, the class name referring to Mount Kongō [金剛山, in 大阪府] )
(c) 美国国务卿下周出访亚太六国

Note:
(a) 台灣省政府主席
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3%E7%9C%81%E6%94%BF%E5%BA%9C%E4%B8%BB%E5%B8%AD
("1998年12月實施省虛級化（精省）後，台灣省省長取消民選，並改回省主席職稱，再度成為政務官職；但由於省政府的職權被大幅度削減，省主席一職已形同冗職。台灣省政府原任主席林光華於2006年1月25日退休後，中央政府一直未派任新任省主席，只由台灣省政府秘書長鄭培富暫時代理，省主席的職位懸缺近兩年之久。直至2007年12月7日發布總統令，任命行政院政務委員林錫耀兼任台灣省政府委員並為主席，中央政府官員兼任省主席漸成慣例。")

So, Mr. 林政则 is Pres. Ma Ying-jeou's appointee.
(b) 安藤 利吉 Rikichi ANDO (1884-1946; 陸軍大将; Taiwan governor 1944-1945; detained by Chiang regime and transferred to Shanghai; died in custody--suicide by poisoning, but some said 陳儀 murdered him) ja.wikipedia.org

But the same wiki shows 陳儀 was Taiwan governor from Aug. 29, 1945 to Mar. 22, 1947 (and returned to Chinese mainland on May 11 following). So I have no idea how 陳儀 might kill 安藤.

My comment: I am clueless about what the talking heads try to say.
