Hello, My name is Sarah Brown and I on the Have Your Say section for the BBC News website in London. I read your email on the Japan-China issue with interest and was wondering if you would like to speak to me further for a piece I am writing on the subject.
If so, feel free to send me your phone number and I will give you a call.
Many thanks

個人的に気になるの部分を強いて言えば、「○○語を話しますか」の所はCanで問う のではなくてDoで問う。Do you speak Japanese?みたいに。Canで聞かれると、 ちょっと不快、だけどこれは飽くまでもニュアンスを理解したネイティブ と会話している場合であって、non-nativeから来る場合はそんな事関係ない。
一応、例文の出さずにガタガタ言うのはアレなので…。あくまでも参考です。
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your e-mail, and yes, I am very interested in discussing the issuse further with you. Unfortunately, I do not speak English as well as I write. Is it possible for us to correspond via e-mail?

The site explains, “This 35-year period [of Japanese colonial rule] was the time when many feature of modernity appeared in Korea, including rapid urban growth, commerce, industry, and forms of modern mass culture such as radio and cinema... By the time of the Japanese surrender in August 1945, Korea was the second-most industrialized nation in Asia after Japan itself.” unlike most European colonizers, who used their colonizes to extract natural resources and agricultural products, Japan encouraged true economic development and industrialization in Korea without any evil intention, justifying Japan’s imperial rule over Korea. ↑の記事が批判している米国教育省公認、コロンビア大学アジア史教育者ガイド http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/webcourse/key_points/kp_11.htm http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/webcourse/ Columbia University, Asia for Educators is designed as a resource site for teachers of world history

I will teach Geography of China class this summer in which I cover (but don't dwell on) the Rape of Nanking. I already have two Japanese students enrolled. It's my understanding that many Japanese do not acknowledge this event. Does anyone have suggestions about how I should approach this in my class? I do not want to offend my Japanese students. http://asiainthecurriculum.org/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/1476083/m/241103822
S.Korean, Texas Oil Man Charged in UN Scandal Thu Apr 14, 2005 http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=8185151 NEW YORK (Reuters) - South Korean Tongsun Park and a Texas oil businessman have been charged in two separate federal cases involving bribes and kickbacks in the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program, federal authorities said on Thursday. Park, who was at the center of the Koreagate influence-peddling scandal in Washington in the 1970s, was charged by the U.S. attorney in New York with being an unregistered agent for Iraq. The criminal complaint said he received at least $2 million from Iraq for lobbying U.N. officials to set up the oil-for-food program, with an understanding that some of the money would be used to "take care" of a U.N. official. Authorities would not identify the official or say whether he still worked at the United Nations. Park is thought to be in South Korea.
http://www.fair.org/extra/best-of-extra/washington-times.html Tungsun Park, who bribed U.S. officials to gain favors for the South Korean government in what became known as "Koreagate." Congressional probers disclosed that illegal espionage operations linked to Koreagate were carried out by the Unification Church at the behest of the KCIA.
Korea-centrism and the foreign 'threat' There is nothing that will draw Koreans together faster than the belief that outside forces are threatening. The belief that Americans (foreigners) are a bigger "threat" to South Korea's security than their nuke-wielding brethren in the North exemplifies a renewed Korea-centered philosophy that's apparent throughout government and, by extension, the economy.
In the most homogenous country in the world, where "our" is used in the naming of everything from banks to political parties, to be Korean, even of the Northern variety,
is perhaps less threatening in the South than the prospect of foreigners having an enduring stake and voice in the country. Capital and investment are always welcome in South Korea, but input into how these assets may best be used is increasingly unwelcome. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Korea/FA15Dg03.html

誰だよこれ、あっははは、 GJ!! The complaints of China should be disregarded outright, as they were made purely to unite their own troubled population. The daily atrocities of the CCP heavily outweigh the historical ones of Japan.
Have many people here have read or even heard about the Rape of Nanking? If they had, they would see how insensitive their comments are. Yes, no country has a perfect history, but the true horror of the acts committed in Nanking means that China will never move on unless the Japanese face up to their history.
The complaints of China should be disregarded outright, as they were made purely to unite their own troubled population. The daily atrocities of the CCP heavily outweigh the historical ones of Japan. Tomoyuki Yamashita, Takeshima, Japan
The real reason that China is upset now is that Japan is rallying for a seat on the UN Security Council. China is afraid of losing its power. Besides, the Chinese Communists killed more of its own people in the history anyway. I'm wondering why nobody says anything about that now.
Opposing to Japanese imperialism?? Down with Expansionist Japan?? Ha! That's rich coming from a country, which has always been an expansionist throughout its own history, except only a brief period between the mid-19th century to 1945! Which of the two countries is more a threat to the rest of the world?: Japan, which has been a peace-loving democracy since 1945 and has never sent troops abroad unless asked to do so, or China, a victim-turned-aggressor totalitarian state with a huge brainwashed population that has incessantly threatened, invaded or occupied many countries and regions, including Tibet (occupied in violation of international laws by the PRC since 1950), the Korean Peninsula (Korean War, 1950-1953), Taiwan (constantly under threats from Beijin), India (1959), the USSR (!!) (Damansky Island Incident in 1968), Vietnam (1978), all its Southeast Asian neighbours (recently over the Spratly Islands), and Japan (over the Uotsuri-jima Island since the late 1960s).
There are countless other examples of how the Communist Party deliberately distorts history, including the claim in its Beijing based Military Museum that one million US soldiers were killed during the Korean War. There were never one million US soldiers in the country.
The anti-Japan movement in China and Korea is absolutely misplaced! Japan continues to make more than enough formal apologies, financial aids, compensation, etc. China and Korea are afraid that Japan has begun to speak out as an ordinary country. Akira, Tokyo, Japan

Japanese people don`t think they did that bad thing to China. And they think Hitler isn`t that bad man. For example, In japan, books about Hitler sell well. Japanese think they had no choice but war because USA,UK,and Russia threated Japan. So they won`t apologize to China ando South Korea sincerely:(
I wonder why South Korean people blame Japan for the atrocities in WW2. At that time, South Korea was a Japanese colony,and Korean people went to war as soldiers of The Imperial Japanese Army. And Korean soldier killed many Chinese. I understand anger of Chinese against Japan,but I can`t understand why Korean people,they killed and killed Chinese,blame Japan.
「南京大虐殺は既成事実化してるから何をやっても無駄」っていうカキコを 見るけど、アイリス・チャンのThe rape of Nankingに次のような文章がある。
Yet the Rape of Nanking remains an obscure incident. Unlike the atomic explosions in Japan or the Jewish holocaust in Europe, the horrors of the massacre at Nanking remain virtually unknown to people outside Asia. The massacre remains neglected in most of the historical literature published in the United States. A thorough examination of secondary-school history textbooks in the United States revealed that only a few even mention the Rape of Nanking. And almost none of the comprehensive, or "definitive," histories of World War U read by the American public discusses the Nanking massacre in great detail. For instance, no photograph on the event, not even one word, appears in The American Heritage Picture History of World War U (1966), which for many years was the bestselling single-volume pictorial history of the war ever published. Nor can a word of the massacre be found in Winston Churchill's famous Memoirs of the Second World War (1959) (1,065 pages) or in Henri Michel's classic Second World War (1975) (947 pages). The Rape of Nanking is mentioned only twice in Gerhard Weinberg's massive A World at Arms (1994) (1,178 pages). Only in Robert Leckie's Delivered from Evil: the Saga of World War U (1987) (998 pages) did I find a single paragraph about the massacre: "Nothing the Nazis under Hitler would do to disgrace their own victories could rival the atrocities of Japanese soldiers under Gen. Iwane Matsui."

BEIJING, April 14 - Enraged about Japan's tendentious textbooks and territorial disputes in the East China Sea, Sun Wei, a college junior, joined thousands of Chinese in a rare legal protest march on the streets of Beijing last weekend. Yet the police herded protesters into tight groups, let them take turns throwing rocks, then told them they had "vented their anger" long enough and bused them back to campus
LOS ANGELES – Koreans in the United States are organizing locally to mount a vigorous world-wide movement to oppose Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Since March 1, a Los Angeles-based human rights organization, Historical Justice Now (HJN), has collected more than 110,000 petition signatures, urging the UN to reject Japan's effort to obtain a seat on the Security Council. Jong Woo Lim, who volunteers at the Koreatown office of HJN, says that the petition campaign is a worldwide movement led by the International Solidarity Council, consisting of civilian organizations from eight countries – United States, South Korea, North Korea, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Netherlands, as well as Japan←(在日ホロン部か?). In November of last year, the HJN co-sponsored a photo exhibit, “Forgotten Terror”, in Los Angeles showing the suffering from Japanese war crimes.
The exhibit explored the suffering that persists to this day and included photographic images of surviving forced laborer, the paintings of former sex slaves depicting brutality that they experienced and the continuing mental trauma. There were also photos of Chinese civilians with physical wounds inflicted by Japanese germ warfare.
In late March, Korean Americans in Los Angeles staged a demonstration in front of the Japanese Consulate, protesting Japan's recent claim on the islets Dokdo. The rally was spurred by a recent remark made by the Japanese Ambassador in Seoul, saying that the islets, which are now under Korean control, historically belong to Japan. http://news.pacificnews.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=730b7f6745cacbd64c58b5ca32d9a347
結局嫌われてるのはユダヤ人と中国人と韓国人 http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/state/20050414-2319-ca-hatemail.html April 14, 2005 LOS ANGELES – Dozens of Jewish residents, businesses and synagogues have received hate-filled letters in recent weeks, leading to investigations by local and federal officials. Some of the large manila envelopes had "Die Jews Die!" scrawled on them and other vituperative language filled the papers inside the envelopes. Some of the letters also targeted Asians, Muslims and gays.

It's an issue of the atrocities not the war. Unfortunately the latest apology by Murayama in 1995 was a personal apology as it was not ratified by the Japanese government. It was voted down with only 26 percent in favor. So the people of Asia are still waiting for an apology from the Japanese government. I believe the people of Japan have the good will of Asia in their heart, but the Japanese government does not.
Two other issues disturb me. If I give you a gun and a target, does that make it right for you to kill? Therefore, even if there were slave traders, did it make it right for the Japanese to take advantage of that?
Here is the vicious circle: the Chinese government uses the Japan issue to divert its peoples' attention from its own, many shortcomings. Japanese rightists then use the China issue to push through more hard-line policies. The pawn in this political chess match is no fewer than 1.3 billion Chinese people who lack the consciousness to know they are being used.

In Korean, the words, Sa-I-gu or “4-29,” summons images of burning storefronts, smashed windows and other devastation that disproportionately affected the Korean-American community.
I am a European living in Shanghai, and the truth is: - these demonstrations have been organized by the Chinese government - one of the reasons for the government to raise these anti-Japanese movements is to unite the common people and to create a feeling of nationalism (it is more or less the same as any other fundamentalist, radical movement would do anywhere else in the world) - another reason is simply to strengthen domestic production, i.e. to strengthen sales volumes of China-made products vs. Japanese imports - o.k., the Japanese have some statements in a textbook, which are ignoring the atrocities during WWII
- But the Chinese textbooks are full of lies - - the invasion of Tibet - - the invasion of Xinjiang (which always got less attention in the international press, but is equally bad) - - millions of people starving during the great leap forward - - the fact that China is by far executing the most death sentences worldwide - - concentration camps (similar to those in WWII Germany), which exist until today - - etc. etc. etc. THE CURRENT THINGS HAPPENING IN SHANGHAI AND ELSEHWERE IN CHINA ARE HYPPOCRACY AT ITS BEST
Japan is being criticized for not being a saint. Japan had been playing the role of a scapegoat for past 60 years, accepting, apologizing and paying compensations for endless claims of "wartime atrocities." Some of the claims were just, but many were obvious fabrications, conjured up to satisfy the political needs of China and Korea at the time. Due to the external pressure and that of Sino-sympathetic media, we were not even allowed to question/cross-examine their claims. Any such attempt would have sparked a hostile reaction by the Chinese, and prominent politicians who made such attempt were labeled by the media as "right-wing" and quickly ostracized. Let us examine what really happened through scientific means and evaluate how evil Japanese were relative to other imperialists at that time in history. Japan can, have and will own up to its wartime history. She should, however, no longer be blamed for not being a saint nor should she be forced to own up to fabricated history.
