In his mind, he saw himself zipping across town in his black coupe, impressing potential clients. “It’s the same as being dressed in formal wear with leather shoes, or wearing a Rolex,” Mr. Lee, 33, said of the two-door car he bought in 2020.

Antes de Navidad, un contingente de 105 marines estadounidenses que habrían sido enviados a Okinawa fue redirigido a una nueva base en el territorio estadounidense de Guam. Este pequeño reajuste marcó un hito importante: era la primera vez que los marines reducían su número en Okinawa como parte de un acuerdo entre Washington y Tokio para mitigar una desmesurada presencia militar estadounidense en la isla del Pacífico que se remonta a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
