Trump terminates TPP officially.

This is not unexpected as Trump and Hillary both disapproved TPP previously.  Only those countries with unrealistic hope are disappointed because they refused to heed Trump's disapproval and insisted on TPP.

USA is increasing tension between Taiwan and China.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/01/19/taiw-j19.html

If USA approves military base in Taiwan, it means that USA doesn't recognise the one-China policy or UN resolution 2758.  This action will cause China to cut tie with USA and also prompt China to retake Taiwan by military force.  This world is definitely better without USA.

A Japanese hotel operator is helping the Japanese government to whitewash its historical crimes.

All the Japanese war crimes are archived in UNESCO documentary and the Japanese government cannot lie to the whole world except its own citizens.  This is the reason why the world keeps insisting that Japan must apologize for WW2 atrocities because Japan keeps whitewashing the historical facts.
