According to The Sankei Shinbun, Professor Zhu Jianrong of Toyo Gaguen University (Japanese university) who is considered modest in his political thinking has been arrested on the suspicion of spying as he often publicly discussed Senkaku islands.
Below is a video in which Professor Zhu Jianrong of Toyo Gaguen University discusses realities in China at the press conference held on December 6, 2012.
China has arrested more than 100 Chinese scholars, journalists, etc. for disclosure of sensitive information (information China claims to be sensitive) by September 15 this year.
Those arrests are believed to be closely related to the policy China has recently outlined to tightly control information by purging anyone who leaks information to Japan sharing the same values (human rights, etc.) with the Western nations. It is said that those intellectuals are considered obstructive to the Xi Jinping regime.
Senior executives of the Communist Party lament that Xi Jinping will not gain any support from people even if he tries to revive the Mao Zedong regime.
Deeply impressed with well-defined analysis of U.S. anti-Japan maneuvering in Asia before and after the Greater East Asia War (or the World War II or the Pacific War called in the Western Hemisphere; read The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War" ) in the blog post I was recently exposed to, I have decided to devote my time and effort to writing a brief English summary of the post whose title is "Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ ".
Syngman Rhee (born on March 26, 1875 and died on July 19, 1965) had forced the Korean population to deny anything Japanese by nurturing hatred toward Japan among the Korean population as soon as he became the first president of the Republic of Korea in 1948 ( Read When S. Korea Gained Independence? August 15, 1945 or August 13, 1948? ).
He was actively involved in fabricating a story that Korea before Japan-Korean annexation in 1910 was the most ideal state in the East whereas denouncing falsely Japan as the most barbaric nation and in spreading it throughout U.S. via such mass media as newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst, thereby trying to seek and secure assistance from U.S. (Read Koreans Return Evil for Good ).
His fabricated story of Japan as "evil" undoubtedly served as a basis for U.S. to determine its political intervention in the Far East. A majority of Koreans who actually lived happily during the 35 years of annexation had to accept his fictitious story, knowing it was untrue because anyone who publicly stated "The Great Imperial Japan was good or Rhee's government was bad" was arrested, jailed, tortured, and executed by Rhee.
He further strengthened his anti-Japan policy, so as to detruct people's attention from the serious crimes he committed soon after he sworn in as the first president. Just to list a few of his atrocities in South Korea, Rhee was responsible for Bodo League massacre of 1950 (South Korean civilian organizations believe there might have been up to 1,140,000 victims,representing 6% of the 1950 population of South Korea. ), Jeju Uprising of 1948 in which 14,000 to 60,000 individuals were killed in fighting or execution, and National Defense Corps Incident of 1950 in which some 50,000to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps because the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo embezzled funds allocated to foods for the recruited soldiers.
Thus, the direction of Japan-South Korean relationship was basically determined when Rhee became the first president of the Republic of Korea, well assisted by the U.S. government. His anti-Japan policy has been uninterruptedly handed down, one after another, to the current president.
A Japanese fisherman abducted and tortured by South Korea in 1950s. No information on his whereabouts has been given to Japan by South Korea.
A Brief History - Takeshima Invasion by ROK: During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And,44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea. Besides, South Korea used abducted fishermen as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Japan on the Treaty.
Raise your original Korean flag (Chinese characters say "a vassal state of Great China) given by china when Korea became a vassal state of China 1,000 years ago!
The above photo shows one of the comfort stations established specifically for US servicemen since Japan had to obey any order US occupation forces issued. The comfort station in the photo was located at Yasuura, Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Before further disclosing US brutal acts in Japan during US occupation of Japan, readers should be exposed to the overstrain the Government of Japan had experienced after Japan faced a major defeat on August 15, 1945. It was not during the Great East Asia War (called either the Pacific War or the World War II in the West) but only during US occupation of Japan after Japan's major defeat that the Government of Japan had to get itself involved in establishing "comfort stations" as it was ordered by General Headquarters, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (hereinafter referred to as "GHQ") on September 28, 1945.
The order given by GHQ specifically instructed Japan to establish "comfort stations "for officers and other servicemen stationed in the Kanto plain.
Despite Japan's efforts to protect the Japanese women from the sexual assaults, including initial allocation of national budget (JPY 50 million equivalent to USD 1 billion at the current value) to the establishment of "comfort stations", a huge number of the Japanese women had been raped by the US occupation forces until Japan recovered its sovereignty on April 28, 1952. One must remember that the amount of JPY 50 million meant "astronomical costs" Japan had to bear just for satisfying sexual desire of US sercivemen when Japan's economy was almost completely devastated by unnecessary and relentless US carpet bombing on civilian targets throughout Japan, not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres.
Believe it or not, "raping" had begun as soon as US occupation forces (US Marines) landed on Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on August 30, 1945.

I regret that recently I've kept tweeting on South Korea. But Ms. Park! I have seen your recent meeting with President Obama as a slander about Japan. What wicked character are you? Is it only me who saw it that way? Japan's involvement in the issue of nuclear aresenal development by North Korea will produce nothing since North Korea will never give up nukes, anyway. We should look at this situation as the best chance for Japan to deal with our own defense issues, thereby helping us improve our diplomacy.
At the Budget Committee of the Upper House, the Diet (Japan's national legislature) held on April 25, the Democratic Party of Japan, better known as so-called "Anti-Japan Political Party" or "A group of leftist operatives" or "A group of traitors" among many Japanese cybercitizens has failed a surprise attack on Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Abe Shinzo and Mr. Furuya Keiji, State Minister in charge of North Korea's abductions of Japanese nationals over the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine where 2.4 million brave souls of the fallen soldiers are enshrined at for remembering and honoring their dedicated services to Japan and her people.
Ms. Tokunaga Eri, representing the Democratic Party of Japan clearly stated in her question that families of abductees (those abducted by North Korea) have lost all hope (of rescuing the victims) due to the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine, subsequently raising a question of whether the Abe Cabinet will further address the abduction issue or not.
Her story came as a bolt from the blue. Mr. Furuya Keiji then immediately returned a question to her "Can you tell us which one of the families of abduction victims has actually criticized our visit to Yasukuni Shrine? I just can't overlook your accusation. So, give us their names if it is true?."
Without clarifying the accusation she just made against Mr. Furuya Keiji, she suddenly started firing words of accusation at PM Abe Shinzo as she seemed having been cornered, facing a question of who has criticized the visit to Yasukuni Shrine. Although she seemed to have lost her confidence in winning her battle, she asked PM Abe what he thinks of their visit to Yasukuni Shrine she believes undeniable in having negatively impacted South Korea and China.
Before replying her question, PM Abe asked her to answer the question raised by Mr. Furuya Keiji as he believes it extremely essential in view of the importance attached to the functions of the Budget Committee. PM Abe further stated that not only she as a questioner will lose her credibility but also she will damage credibility of her party if she can't produce evidence to substantiate her claim.
PM Abe emphatically reminded her that in the area of diplomacy, there exist a number of attempts to repudiate truths, for example, Chinese denial of a truth that Senkaku has long been historically and internationally recognized as being an integral part of Japan.
As for the visits to Yasukuni Shrine, PM Abe introduced her to the historical account that no South Korean president had ever criticized Japan until Roh Moo-hyun became the ninth president of South Korea (2003–2008). PM Abe believes it important to look into why South Korea has all of a sudden posed in such a manner as to show its current stance toward our visit to Yasukuni Shrine.
He further emphasized that even China had never protested Japan against ex-Prime Ministers' visit to Yasukuni Shrine when and after 14 Japanese, so-called war criminals (Note: no war criminals legally acknowledged in Japan. They were either executed=murdered by US or died in jail.) were enshrined together with other brave souls in 1978. He said it was just recently that Chinese criticism came out of the blue.
He continued to say that similarly China had never protested Japan against her sovereignty over Senkaku Islands during the period from 1895 to 1971. PM Abe believes it necessary to fully recognize these facts, so that we will properly deal with China and at the same time he believes it natural to express a sense of reverence for those who devoted their lives to our country. He believes that his cabinet members will not accept any threats whatsoever.
Concluding her question over Yasukuni Shrine, Ms. Tokunaga Eri asked PM Abe how he will deal with unpleasant feelings expressed by China and South Korea.
PM Abe said that Yasukuni Shrine is here in Japan and just nearby here, and that he strongly questions those who accept their criticism of our visit to Yasukuni Shrine for praying for the brave souls without feeling unjustified pain and that he believes it wrong for them to condemn our visits. PM Abe continued to say he believes it is his duty to defend our national interests and to preserve pride of our history and tradition. He finally said he would like to make it clear that we will not compromise our pride just for the sake of harmonizing.
Ms. Tokunaga said feebly she has some sentiments about this matter; therefore, she will discuss them with PM Abe whenever possible in the future. She sounded like she was learning an important lesson by this failed attack.
Member of the House of Representatives, The Diet (Japan's national legislature)
LDP Policy Chief commented on Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on April 24 as follows;
I believe that Japan-China relation is extremely important, however, it is none of their business how we Japanese honor and remember our soldiers who lost their lives during their services to our country. We decide on how we appreciate their services, therefore, I question why our visit to Yasukuni Shrine develops into a diplomatic issue.
(The above translation of her comment is provisional)
Tweets as follows; Calmly putting my hands together, I paid the fullest respect and the highest tribute to the souls of the war dead enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine with other 212 members of the Diet (Japan's National Legislature). Compared with the last years, the number of politicians who visit Yasukuni Shrine has considerably increased. I regard this increase as a clear indication of the public will, well evidenced in the general election held in the last December. Obviously, we must stay vigilant of the Chinese movements including the Chinese government ships.
Mr. Nariaki Nakayama, a member of the House of Representatives tweets as follows;
In the Budget Committee of the Lower House, Japan's National Legislature, I believe that the door has been opened for Prime Minister of Japan Shintaro Abe to visit Yasukuni Shrine since I first raised a question of what Prime Minister thinks of his failure to visit Yasukuni Shrine despite the very fact that he visits Arlington National Cemetery where the soldiers killed in battles against Japan are honored and remembered. And, then I touched upon the diary of the late Prime Minister of China Zhou Enlai, in which he states that he was deeply impressed by Yasukuni Shrine when he visited there. This overture, I believe, has thwarted expected criticism (of PM Abe's future visit to Yasukuni Shrine) by China, thus helping Japan become a normal nation.
(The above translation is provisional.)
Below is the tweets related to the above.

The following article was posted on May 2, 2011
when the Liberal Democratic Party was a major opposition party. Recently, Prime Minister Abe and his cabinet has decided to designate April 28 as "Sovereignty Restoration Day", so as to remind the public that Japan endured 7 years of military occupation by the Allied forces and restored its independence by concluding "San Francisco Peace Pact" on April 28, 1952.
Mr. Kazuo Ijiri, a columnist focuses on the following three points with emphasis on a violation of Hague Land War Convention by the occupation forces led by MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP).
A Summary of the Above Video Footage
1. National Diet (Japan's national legislature) members federation established on February 25
2. April 28 should be designated as Sovereignty Restoration Day
3. April 28 is the most important day in the post war history
A newspaper clipping (Sankei) dated February 26 shown in the video says:
National Diet Members Federation (members of the Liberal Democratic Party) headed by Mr. Takeshi Noda, a member of the House of Representatives has been established on February 25 for promoting "Designation of April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day". The purpose of designating April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day is to remind the Japanese nationals of portraying themselves what independence of Japan should mean. Although they are not particular about designating April 28 as a national holiday, they demand that the Government of Japan should hold some memorial event on the day.
We have had an annual meeting named "National Gathering for Sovereignty Restoration Day" in Tokyo on April 28 for the last 15 years, in which we celebrate "Sovereignty Restoration" and discuss its significance. This means that Japan was placed under the military administration of the Allied Forces for about 6 years and 8 months from September 2, 1945 when Japan signed an instrument of surrender aboard Battleship Missouri anchored in the Bay of Tokyo to April 28, 1952 when Japan restored its independence.
Moreover, we should never forget the historical fact that during the period of military occupation the present constitution and the fundamental law of education were established, thereby constituting a crime in view of the Hague Land War Convention since the Convention prohibits the occupation forces from establishing the laws being permanent in nature in the occupied areas. The occupation forces may give orders being temporary in nature to those occupied as observed in the cases of agricultural land reform order, Zaibatsu dissolution order, etc. The spirit of the Hague Land War Convention is found in the area where the occupations forces may exercise their very strong authority to control the occupied areas by giving orders but not establishing the laws binding them permanently.
MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP) committed a crime of establishing the constitution and the fundamental law of education being permanent in nature with some Japanese politicians in such a manner as to violate the Hague Land War Convention. They fall into a category of co-principals in committing a crime, whose responsibilities shall be defined as being equal, under Japan's Criminal Law.
Regardless of political inclinations, all the political parties neglected the significance of remembering and celebrating April 28 as "Sovereignty Restoration Day". The Liberal Democratic Party now as a major opposition party has finally acted in direction of promoting "Designation of April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day", so as to remind us that April 28 is the most important day for the Japanese nationals in the post war history as it gives us an opportunity to review the post war history of Japan.
Winning a battle is not an evidence proving a victor has been right. It only means such victors as US, etc. have committed more killings. Often wondering how the Americans could forget a nunber of atrocities committed in the course of conquering the continents & islands.
The following two Professors discuss "Who's stirring up anti-Japan sentiments in Japan" in the video below.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe, Professor Emeritus, Sophia University ( http://bit.ly/eJPYQn )
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi, Professor Emeritus, Nippon University ( http://bit.ly/f7iIXI )
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: I have spent a few decades, wondering why we have such politicians as acting against the interests of Japan and why we have such editors as preferring to publish the articles damaging to Japan. I finally concluded that we had those leftists bearing a grudge against Japan who were inevitably purged in the prewar era because they were financially supported and directed by Коминтерн=Comintern short for Communist International. They lived in darkness, hating the era they lived through.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Yes, I think the treatment they received was inevitable.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: During the occupation era, they and their supporters had rapidly risen to dominance in the press and the field of academics,well assisted by General Headquarters of U.S. Occupation Troops. As a matter of fact, the well-disciplinedJapanese leftistslike Mr. Manabu Sano ( 佐野学http://bit.ly/enTGgU ) and Mr. Kiyoharu Tanaka (田中清玄http://bit.ly/f0OYeS ) all left the communist movement as soon as they received an order from Comintern to start an attempt to abolish Japan's Imperial System. However, those who fanatically believed that everything about Japan was bad, remained to be leftists. They were very weird. And, they were mostly ethnic Koreans. They had no reason to give up the idea of abolishing Japan's Imperial System.
I am not saying those people are still working at Asahi Shinbun but journalists much influenced by those Korean leftists have been writing and publishing the articles very critical of Japan, thereby stirring up anti-Japan sentiments in Japan and having Japan say anything against her interests. That is my conclusion.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Oh, that is something I have never noticed because I wasn't looking at those things that way. I feel that those people who are in fact believers in totalitarianism perhaps tend to have such a thought. The fact that they were financially supported and directed by Starlin clearly indicates what I feel is right. Because of their influence, we observed emergence of the radical leftist students in the 1960s and 1970s.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: Hitler and Mussolini were not only believers in totalitarianism but also patriots. Regardless of what Starlin said, he was in fact a patriot. However, it is very strange that those who believe in totalitarianism seem to dislike Japan.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Well, I think so. They are anti-Japan journalists and politicians. But I didn't notice what you have just said.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: It is not a matter of whether they are ethnically Koreans or not butthey still harbor the Korean leftist ideology that condemns Japan as being bad.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Well, that is something I haven't noticed.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: I say that because they are the Japanese nationals, I will have to be patient with them only if they are just totalitarians. In fact, they are not just totalitarians but they hate everything about Japan.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: A week ago, I received a mission of 100 Korean members. They are ex-politicians, retired military men, press people, etc. I was requested to discuss East Asian security and Japan-China relations. I emphasized that Japan and Korea have shared common values such as democracy and freedom and that Korea should not be value-neutral when considering Japan and China, as practiced by Korea either placing equidistantly Japan and China or being sided with China while criticising Japan. I feel that their reasoning gets to be obscured by emotions.
Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: South Korea has not reached the level of civilization that makes them understand what treaty is because they keep bringing up the same old storieseven if we have a good and effective treaty called Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea.
Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: That is a good and effective treaty. I really feel that I find it extremely difficult to discuss something with them because they asked me a question of whether Japan advanced into or invaded the Korean peninsula and China even after all I had to say to them. I told them to remember what I have already said to you. Since I am specialized in international laws, I am a kind of reluctant to use the terms "Advance" or "Invade" at all. I told them not to expect any words like advance or invade from me. I may discuss it from the perspective of "colonization" and "Imperialism". I told them that I have nothing to do with what our politicians have said.

5. The Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea (Japanese: 日韓基本条約 (Nikkan Kihon Jōyaku?); Korean: 한일기본조약, 韓日基本條約, Hanil Gibon Joyak) was signed on June 22, 1965 to establish basic relation between Japan and the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

PM Noda proposed to hold a face-to-face public debate with Abe of the Liberal Democratic Party, a major opposition party of Japan. Abe indicated his willingness to hold their first public debate on November 29 before the general election of the Lower House.
However, many voters voice an opinion that Noda should hold the same debates with the newly born parties as two major parties may not remain as majors after the election. Nobody has ever agreed on two party system as in USA. Or, two party system has not been established in Japan.
In the past, the communist party and the socialist party (now called the Social Democratic Party) were two major forces trying to revoke the constitution of Japan. However, as soon as Japan emerged as a major economic power, they have become the strong proponents of the current constitution of Japan. It obviously suggests that the Japanese leftists have been much influenced by such hostile nations as South Korea, North Korea, China, and Russia who vehemently hope that Japan will remain militarily weak.
Président sud-coréen Lee aurait diffamé le Japon et son peuple à nouveau quand il a rencontré le secrétaire d'Etat américaine, Mme Clinton à Vladivostok, en Russie le 9 Septembre. Un gouvernement sud-coréen de haut rang officiel révèle la déclaration de Lee a fait lors de sa rencontre avec Mme Clinton comme disant que le Japon est en direction de l'extrémisme de droite et, par conséquent, le Japon devrait abandonner l'extrémisme de droite pour la paix dans le nord-est Asie.
On s'attend à ce que son double face diplomatie approfondira encore la préoccupation du Japon sur les relations futures avec le pays dirigé par un dictateur Lee, ce durcissement son attitude envers le pays. Il est à noter ici que les PM Noda et président Lee accord sur la promotion de la relation tournée vers l'avenir entre les deux pays au cours de la brève réunion informelle de l'APEC juste avant Lee a rencontré des États-Unis secrétaire d'État Clinton.
Lee semble tellement désespérée de trouver un execuse pour rejeter la demande du Japon pour le règlement pacifique des Takeshima question à la Cour internationale de Justice à La Haye.
South Korean president Lee has reportedly defamed Japan and her people again when he met with U.S. Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton at Vladivostok, Russia on September 9. A South Korean government high-ranking official reveals Lee's statement made at his meeting with Mrs. Clinton as saying that Japan has been heading toward "right-wing extremism"; therefore, Japan should abandon "right-wing extremism" for peace in the northeast Asia.
It is expected that his double-faced and double-tongued diplomacy will further deepen Japan's concern over the future relation with the country ruled by a dictator Lee, thereby undoubtedly hardening Japan’s attitude toward the country. It has to be noted here that PM Noda and president Lee agreed on promoting the future-oriented relation between Japan and South Korea during their brief informal meeting at APEC just before Lee’s meeting with U.S. Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton.
Lee seems so desparate to find any execuse for rejecting Japan's request for the peaceful settlement of Takeshima issue at International Court of Justice in Hague.
According to the Korean English newspapers, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will try to mediate heightened diplomatic tensions between Japan and South Korea through separate meetings with both leaders. Japan has not done anything offensive to ROK. U.S. should tell South Korea president Lee to apologize to Japan for his extremely rude and vulgar remarks on His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, not to mention his illegal landing on Takeshima islets, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. PM Noda's party will lose majority for sure when general election is held within a year due to his failure to act for Japan's interests. This is what a majority of the Japanese voices on the diplomatic tensions between Japan as a peace-loving nation and ROK as a rogue state. If U.S. voices a word in favor of ROK, the Japanese public may not withstand U.S. double tongued or double faced diplomacy any longer.
If Koreans wish to ban hoisting of our Rising Sun flag just because Koreans hate to see our Rising Sun flag flying high, South Korean flag shouldn't be banned as well? South Korean flag really makes me disgusted just to think of it. I don't know why I get the chills just looking at the logo of Pepsi.
The above is not Rising Sun Flag but it looks similar to it. It is in fact company flag of Asahi-Shinbun (a well-known newspaper company established on January 25, 1879.) , and many believe that Asahi-Shinbun has been quite critical of Japan since 1945 when it was ordered to suspend reporting activities for a few days by General Douglas MacArthur after it reported on U.S. atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the U.S. occupation. Many wonder how Koreans will react to the flag, considering the fact that Asahi-Shinbun is one of those responsible for fabricating a story of "Comfort Women" in collaboration with leftists (mostly Koreans) in Japan.
Those who, although possessing Japanese citizenship, have been engaged in dragging down Japan, must be thoroughly condemned. I am not proposing witch hunt but I am reminding you that Japan's rights have been infringed on by anti-Japan witches for long time. Ex-Chairman Ms. Takako Doi, Japan Socialist Party (now reduced to a minor party called the Social Democratic Party) strongly asserted that no Japanese had been abducted by North Korea. And, her successor Ms. Mizuho Fukushima, now Chairman of the Social Democratic Party fabricated a story that the Imperial Japanese Army forced Koreans into "comfort women".
Ceux qui, bien que possédant la nationalité japonaise, ont été engagés dans glisser vers le bas le Japon, doivent être soigneusement condamné. Je ne propose pas la chasse aux sorcières, mais je vous rappelle que les droits du Japon a été porté atteinte sur par les anti-japonaises sorcières pour longtemps. Ex-président Mme Takako Doi, le Japon Parti socialiste (maintenant réduit à un petit parti appelé le Parti social-démocrate) a affirmé qu'aucun japonais avaient été enlevés par la Corée du Nord. Et, son successeur Mme Mizuho Fukushima, aujourd'hui président du Parti social-démocrate fabriqué une histoire que l'armée impériale japonaise en esclavage les femmes coréennes comme femmes de réconfort.

Does she look like a witch? If not a witch, she is at least a socialist. Est-ce qu'elle ressemble à une sorcière? Si ce n'est pas une sorcière, elle est au moins un socialiste.

Breaking News: Censure motion submitted today at the Upper House, the Diet (Japan's National Legislature) against Prime Minister Noda has just been approved. 129 for the motion and 91 against the motion. Although passed, it has no legal effect on prime ministership held by Noda. However, it has demonstrated to Noda that the elected parliament no longer has confidence in his leadership. On July 14, 2009, then Prime Minister Aso faced the same plight and dissolved the Lower House 7 days later.
With the passage of the censure motion against PM Noda at the Upper House, no matter what they discuss at the Lower House, no bills will be approved at the Diet, thereby practically closing the current session. By October, they run out of appropriations. Logically PM has to either dissolve the Lower House or to decide on resignation of Cabinet en masse.
Regardless of the negative impact South Korean pres. Lee's illegal entry into Takeshima islets, Japan's intrinsic part will probably have on both economies, and particularly on regional stability and security, Japan shall never find legitmate reasons to forget and to forgive his outrageous and absurd behaviors including his offensive remarks on His Majesty the Emperor of Japan.
It is the time that Japan must firmly stand up against injustice South Korea has promoted based on the stories fabricated in collaboration with leftists whom U.S. has covertly and often overtly encouraged to grow up in the post war Japan.
If one were asked to summrize U.S. occupation policy through Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP), the title held by General Douglas MacArthur during the Occupation of Japan from September 2, 1945 to April 28, 1952 in a simple equation, one would formulate either one of equations below.
1. "Japan suffered defeat in the Greater East Asia War"
Defeat=Weak=Evil
However, there is another equation.
2. "Japan suffered defeat in the Greater East Asia War"
Weaker than U.S.=Defeat=Justice
Whoever has taught Koreans a history of Japan-U.S. relations from the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853, they support the first equation, upon which they have cooked up their own history of Japan-South Korea, thereby mythologizing that Japan forced Korea to agree on the annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, during which Japan practiced brutal rule over Korea and Koreans.
For readers' better understanding, read the story below.
Japan in East Asia: Unpromising and Discouraging Future in 19th Century
Japan's modern history and colonization of Asia by the west are inseparably related to each other. There are three major points we should consider as prerequisites for describing a history of modernizing Japan.
At the starting point of Japan's modernization, Japan was faced with growing military threats from Great Britain, Russia, France, Netherlands, U.S.A., Germany, etc. while nothing but their battles for domination in Asia prevented them from fully and easily colonizing Asia. Therefore, they were still fighting for supremacy in Asia while Japan was going through a process of modernizing herself, so as to maintain her own independence. ex. Great Britain completed her control over India just 10 years before Meiji Restoration in 1868, Burma in 1886, and Malay Peninsula in 1909. France took Vietnam by force in 1887. Netherlands officially colonized Indonesia in 1904. U.S.A. annexed Hawaii in 1898, and seized Philippine the same year. Russia was posing a great threat to Japan in those years.
As shown in the above, Japan was completely surrounded by the western militaristic nations who had strong belief in colonialism for their own benefits. Even China was struggling with difficulties to preserve her own lands since China was in a deteriorating state resulting from its excessive bureaucracy. Korea was just a vassal state of China. Japan vehemently desired that Korea would soon become independent from China and would quickly modernize herself, thereby strengthening Japan's defense against the western aggression. Either the western powers or Russia would have colonized the Korean peninsula if nothing done. The only option left for Japan was to help Korea become independent from China. Japan had much stronger awareness of risks since Japan had experienced long-lasted Samurai period.
China and Korea were powerless and helpless. However, they had harbored groundless superiority complex over Japan. Ex. Sino-centrism They tended to regard Japan's modernizing efforts as a disturbing factor to Sino-centrism.
Without keeping three points in one's mind, one must not see a history of Japan in relation to what China fabricates and what both Koreas fabricate.
The article I've just finished reading describes why South Korean pres. Lee decided to land on Takeshima islets on August 10 and later made insulting remarks on His Majesty the Emperor of Japan.
The article focuses on five reasons; 1. Failure to achieve Japan and South Korea cultural exchange project, 2. Higher recognition of a theory of declining power of Japan and U.S. within South Korea, 3. Imminent arrest of president Lee for bribery charges, 4.Possible violation of a decision on so-called "Comfort Women" made by Constitutional Court of South Korea, and 5. Failure to improve economic conditions.
South Korean president Lee has been afraid of ending his presidential tenure with no achievements. To avoid either the imminent arrest or being called incompetent president after he steps down as president of South Korea, he dared to brake a promise to keep status quo of Takeshima issue with Japan and at the same time insulted Japan and her people by making vulgar remarks on His Majesty the Emperor of Japan.
The article concludes that Japan should be better united with Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Mongolia, India, etc. by giving up an idea of emphasizing friendship with Seoul, and that Lee will be remembered as the president who has achieved the worst diplomatic relations ever recorded with Japan in the history of bilateral relations.
"Romney seems to be on a steady streak of insulting our allies," said Japan expert Devin Stewart, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council. "Japanese are quite sensitive to statements like this. They are constantly assessing the tone of U.S. candidates relative to those made about other Asian countries. Bashing Japan is now quite passé and even tone deaf. Has Romney even visited Japan? Is he aware of the 2011 earthquake?"
From "Romney's Japan remark raises eyebrows" posted by Josh Rogin, a graduate of George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, Josh lived in Yokohama, Japan, and studied at Tokyo's Sophia University. He speaks conversational Japanese and has reported from the region. He has also worked at the House International Relations Committee, the Embassy of Japan, and the Brookings Institution.
Many benefits we will enjoy from severing our diplomatic relation with south korea. Nothing hurts us. Only few politicians involved in the interests. Makes me feel so uspet and angry when I just think of how many Japanese women will be saved from Korean rapists only if diplomatic relation is severed.
Just advise our private banks not to deal with South Korea for greater impact on their economy. The Import and Export Bank of Korea borrowed JPY 20 billion from The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, etc. in June this year alone, so as to settle import payments since South Korea can not domestically procure foreign currency. This is what South Korea actually is.
Many South Koreans are not accessible to the reality that U.S.-ROK alliance depends upon Japan-U.S. alliance. 7 U.S. military bases in Japan, including Yokota, Japan are vital to UN forces logistics whose importance has unchanged since the outbreak of the Korean war. There is only the United Nations Command (Korea) (UNC) in South Korea while combat forces are stationed in Okinawa and Iwakuni. Similarly, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force in Japan are supporting South Korea. You will get a whole clear picture of what I say here if you examine the configuration of U.S. forces in Japan and the U.S. Forces in Korea.
