Do we have to put up with an insult like this;
The world belongs to those with a clear conscience, something Japan has had in near-unanimous abundance (David S. Landes,

The very last thing Japan has is a clear conscience !
Their railway building techniques have a lot to answer for.

Dear MICHI the JAPANESE FASCIST

Where you offer excuse "After it Japan annexed Korea. "...the best colonial master of all time has been Japan,"

What SONS OF NIPPON rubbish are you spouting Pappasan!

The Koreas still bittery resent Japan's cruel invasion and occupation of that peninsula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule#Comfort_women

I assume you think the JAPANESE ARMY was merely RESTORING ORDER during the RAPE OF NANKING?

This was in 1937 when Japanese troops slaughtered more 100,000 women, children and babies!

Watch what your JAPANESE countrymen did MICHI http://youtu.be/CHO6GTMyy_U

Mich, read Slaves of the Sons of Heaven !

Soot should have appointed Gladys Liu as the new Minister for Trade.

She's a former(?) affiliate of the CCP and I'm sure she still must have a lot of friends in the CCP who would be willing to sit down with her and put the China-Australia relationship back on track.

I don't think Dan Tehan even speaks Chinese. Anyone know?

Bazz and plantagent,
I wanted to continue with my last comment.

About ten years ago a South Korean boy said on the Internet something like "The Japanese were not wrong. We were wrong." He was arrested by the police. He was thirteen years old. I said torture was abolished by Japanese. I read in the Yi Dynasty, the police and the prosecution did not hesitate to inflict it on children. A South Korean old man was talking with a young man. He was asked about the Japanese rule. He said the Japanese did a lot of good things. He was beaten to death by the young man. The northern half was much better industrialized in 1945 than the southern, which was mainly agricultural. Kim took the northern half, invaded in 1950 and took almost all of the south except the small area of Pusan. GDP of the north was much bigger that that of the south. A treaty was signed between Tokyo and Soul in 1965, a lot of money, grants, loans and technology poured into the south. I understand a considerable part of them were missing, as usually happens in a Confucian country.
The Korean in the early Yi dynasty adopted Confucianism (the Zhu Zi's version of Confucianism, which I am told is nothing but dogma) with such enthusiasm that their value system and social practices were restructured along Chinese lines more fully than ever...it may have become more uniformly and fully permeated by Confucian ideas than China was itself. In fact Korea became in many ways an almost model Confucian society...(E. O. Reischauer, ibid. East Asia, p.301.)"
It was a Great Leap Backward. "...but in the nineteenth century the downward course became more rapid (when they had to change for modernization, faced with gathering storms from the West). The tax system grew even more confused and inadequate, and the bureaucracy more corrupt, government less efficient and the populace more discontented...(Reischauer, ibid. p. 322,)"
"In Korea, however, a comparable stability of institutions produced a much higher degree of cultural stagnation, political immobility, and social friction (Reischauer, ibid. p.322."

Dear MICHI the Avoider of Responsibility

I understand you are 90+ years old and like Yoda in Star Wars your Oriental tone is quaint.

But what I want to know is why your people were so BRUTAL to AUSTRALIAN PRISONERS of WAR?!

Watch this MICHI http://youtu.be/ZyajeTKTNEo?t=3m10s

Do you feel shame, MICHI, about how YOUR people treated us? Your Japanese people broke the rules of war to work Australian prisoners to death!

Can you move out of your QUAINT-TALK, MICHI, to talk like a man?
