It was the Chinese government's first formal response to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who on Thursday denied that evidence showed Japan had forced about 200,000 women -- including Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipinos, Japanese, Dutch and others -- to serve in military brothels in the 1930s and 1940s.
On Monday, Mr. Abe said he would preserve the 1993 statement but denied its central admission of the military’s role, saying there had been no “coercion, like the authorities breaking into houses and kidnapping” women. He said private dealers had coerced the women, adding that the House resolution was “not based on objective facts” and that Japan would not apologize even if it was passed. 上は安倍の発言の引用、軍の関与の否定とプライベートディーラーによる強制を認める発言
Japanese historians, using the diaries and testimony of military officials as well as official documents from the United States and other countries, have been able to show that the military was directly or indirectly involved in coercing, deceiving, luring and sometimes kidnapping young women throughout Japan’s Asian colonies and occupied territories. 日本の歴史家達は、軍高官の日記や証言にくわえ、アメリカやその他の国からの公式文書を使って 日本のアジア植民地や占領地で若い女性を誘拐したり強制、騙したり、誘惑したりすることに 軍が直接又は間接的に関わっていたことを示し(show)てきた。

Japan to Probe WWII Military Brothels By KOZO MIZOGUCHI Associated Press Writer http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-asia-sex-slaves,0,6419532.story Kozo Mizoguchiの新記事>前スレ参照 Abe triggered outrage in China, North and South Korea and the Philippines last week by saying there was no proof the women were coerced. フィリップポンス>オオニシ>ミゾグチ 強制性の区別について一言の言及もなし Historians say that about 200,000 women -- mostly from Korea and China -- served in Japanese military brothels throughout Asia in the 1930s and 1940s. Accounts of abuse by the military have been backed up by witnesses, and even former Japanese soldiers. ヒストリアンw Abe's statement contradicted evidence in Japanese documents, unearthed in 1992, that historians said showed that military authorities had a direct role in working with contractors to forcibly procure women for the brothels. 安倍の発言は1992年に明らかとなった日本の資料における証拠と矛盾している 軍当局が売春宿に女性を強制的に供給するために業者と協力することで 直接的な役割を果たしていたことを示していると歴史家達は述べている。 But prominent Japanese scholars and politicians routinely deny direct military involvement or the use of force in rounding up the women, blaming private contractors for the abuses. しかし日本の著名な学者及び政治家は軍の直接関与や女性を集めるのに軍を使ったことを 繰り返し否定し、民間業者を非難している。 The coercion of women into prostitution was "one of the key, serious crimes committed by Japanese imperial soldiers," Qin Gang, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said during a regular news briefing. "We hope that Japan can show courage, take a responsible attitude toward history," he said. 締めは中国外務省報道官Qin Gangの発言を引用 >25 はっきりとそう書けばいいのにね

Their testimony, plus documents unearthed in military archives, forced the Japanese government in 1993 to acknowledge responsibility. 軍のアーカイブから見つかった資料により1993年に日本政府は責任を認めることを 余儀なくされた Now Mr Abe has said that there is no “historical proof” that coercion was involved. In other words, that the women are liars. 安倍氏は強制があったという"歴史的な証拠"ない、つまり女性たちは嘘つきだ といっているのだ (中略) The Japanese public has turned against Mr Abe not because of foreign policy or historical debates but for economic reasons. 日本の世論が安倍氏を支持していないのは外交や歴史議論ではなく経済的な理由である と以下格差云々 his government clamped down on the interest rates chargeable by consumer-finance companies on loans to Japan's poorest borrowers. This looked popular, but some say it has choked off their borrowing and helped to depress consumer spending. 彼の政権は消費者金融会社が日本の最貧困層にローンできる利率を厳しく取り締まった 評判は良かったかもしれないが、貸付の流れを断ち、消費者支出を低下させた と復党批判 続く
Fortunately for Mr Abe, the opposition Democratic Party of Japan is also in disarray, with its leader, Ichiro Ozawa, in poor health and at war with his own colleagues. 安倍氏にとって幸運なことは、野党民主党もまた混乱していることだ リーダーの小沢一郎は健康に優れず、そして同僚と敵対している Strange stories have been circulating about how cabinet ministers have so little respect for him that they do not bother to stand up when he enters the room. 内閣の大臣がいかに彼(安倍)を尊敬していないかということを示す奇妙な話が出回っている。彼が部屋に入っても(大臣たちは)立ち上がろうとさえしないのだ。 >ゲンダイでも読んだのか?w The rival most often mentioned as his budding successor is Taro Aso, the bumptious foreign minister, who is also a conservative and currently cuts a more dashing figure than his boss. 後継者としてのライバルとして最もよく言われているのが麻生太郎である 傲慢な外相で保守派であり、最近はボスより目立っている Another name, though, is increasingly being whispered: Junichiro Koizumi.

中国の農民を無視する財産改革 By Richard McGregor in Beijing http://www.ft.com/cms/s/bf1fa400-cd95-11db-839d-000b5df10621.html Like many such Chinese regulations, the property law is attempting to codify and enforce rights that already exist on the ground in the country’s major urban areas. 中国のほかの多くの規制と同じように、財産法は既に主要都市に存在している権利を 成文化し、施行しようとしているのである。 政府が公共住宅の供給を止めた後、中国は十年に渡って都市で不動産マーケットを 成長させている。上海などの沿岸地域の都市では、70%〜80%の住宅が個人所有である。 The bill also explicitly rejects any change to the system of “collective” ownership of rural land, where farmer occupiers have only usage rights over limited contract periods rather than any title that can be bought and sold. Properties in cities, by contrast, can be bought and sold under leases of between 50 and 70 years. 法案は明確に田舎の農地の集団所有システムの変更を拒否している。 農地の領有者は売買できる権利どころか期間限定の使用権を持つだけである 対照的に、都市の不動産は50年〜70年のリースという条件で売買ができる Without the establishment of an administrative and legal system which can act independently of officials and the Communist party, laws can be next to useless. 官僚と共産党から独立した行政機関と法システムがなければ、法律はほとんど役に立たない。
"I'd like to see the South Sea after peace is restored," Hirohito was quoted as saying. "It won't be a problem because the area will be part of Japan's territory." 平和が回復された後、南洋を見たい。 日本の領土になるのだから問題ないだろう >「平和克復後は南洋を見たし、日本の領土となる処(ところ)なれば支障なからむ」
"I did not want to see this war with China begin," "China is stronger than expected. Everybody made mistakes in war projections," He was also quoted as warning that Japan must be cautious in entering into war but that once a war had begun, Japan "must fight it to the end." >支那事変はやり度(た)くなかつた >支那が案外に強く、事変の見透しは皆があやまり >始めたら徹底してやらねばならぬ
Israel's ambassador to El Salvador has been recalled following an incident a few weeks ago when, according to Foreign Ministry officials, he was found naked, drunk, bound and gagged in his yard.
Foreign Ministry officials said Monday, after details of the incident appeared in Ma'ariv, that he was recalled because this type of behavior was "unbecoming" an Israeli diplomat. The officials said that in this type situation it was clear that the diplomat could no longer represent Israel effectively in El Salvador.
According to the report in Ma'ariv, police in El Salvador found the ambassador wearing accessories indicating sado-masochistic acts. Although drunk, the paper reported, the diplomat identified himself as the Israeli ambassador. Foreign ministry officials said he was discovered by police who were responsible for the embassy.
