1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

   Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230124_13/](https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230124_13/)**
