In Japan most of Prime Ministers had said “Japan should not do what other countries do not want.” But he is a Prime Minister who says what other countries do not want to hear. He is a rare Prime Minister in Japan. Because the Abe Administration is produced by Chinese expansionism and Korean Anti-Japanism.
While China strengthens the criticism of Japan and the naval expansion, the political dynamics produced Prime Minister Abe. So the Abe Administration takes in China-like policy in order to compete with China.
For example
China Abe Administration (Japan)
You are arrested if you criticize the political power. He is going to hold down the media that are critical against the administration.
He is going to suppress speech by enacting the crime called “conspiracy.”
China Central Television, commonly abbreviated as CCTV , is the predominant state television broadcaster in the People’s Republic of China. It does not criticize the government but spreads propaganda policy for the government. He is going to change NHK into the broadcasting station which does not criticize the government like CCTV in China.
Katsuto Momii, the ex-president of NHK said, “we can’t say ‘It’s the left’ though our government say ‘It’s the right’.”
China has been pushing forward anti-Japan education same as Korea. The prime minister’s wife helped a school that had the ultranationalism of anti-China and anti-Korea.
China has recently accelerated its entry to Africa and actively provided international cooperation with developing countries, mainly with an eye to acquiring resources. The Abe Administration increases ODA against China.
… etc.

Prime Minister Abe has got support by showing strong posture for China, but China seemed to notice that its act strengthened the Abe administration.
As of 2017, it decreased that China strongly criticized Japan and made trouble for Japan while meddling in Japan.
As a result, Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party suffered the crushing defeat in Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly member election on July 2.
If China makes trouble for Japan while meddling in Japan, and the Abe Administration shows strong posture against China, the approval rating of the Administration will improve.
However because China did not annoy Japan, Abe took the North Korea problem and tried to get support in House of Representatives general election in October, 2017. And the strategy went well.

In September, 2020, he lost his position by failure of Abenomics that the government tried to make the economy better by printing Japanese yen in large quantities and the injustice of Mori-Kake problem.

In July, 2022, he was assassinated in Nara city by a victim of “Unification Church (The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification)”. After the assassination, it was revealed that Abe had had a deep relation with Korean “Unification Church”. “Unification Church” did electoral alliances to Abe, and Abe supported “Unification Church” in return.
“Unification Church” squeezed a contribution out of its believers and collected money by the way of dishonest business called “inspiration business”. It is a religion-shaped fraud group. The internal information of the group writes that the money from Japan to the Korean founder family of “Unification Church” amounts to tens of billions of yen every year.
“Unification Church” is considered to be an “Anti-Japan group” in Japan and Abe was deeply connected to the group. It shows that thought of Abe is not authentic. It is not property of the Japanese citizen nor the Japanese old tradition that is important to him. After all it was to stretch out his own politic power and to maintain that.

In Korea he had been considered to be an “Anti-Korea politician”, but may be called an “Anti-Japan politician” from now on.

In 2023, it was discovered that many Diet members belonging to the Abe Group had kept some of the political donations for themselves for more than 20 years. It became clear that his claim of creating a “Beautiful Country” was only words.

・Popularity

  1. On March 21, 2014, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appeared in the talking section of TV show “Waratte iitomo” of Fuji Television. It was the first time for the prime minister to appear on live TV and he appeared for approximately 18 minutes.
  2. On November 14, 2012, Abe who was the leader of LDP and Noda who was the Prime Minister at the time promised to reduce the number of Diet members by January, 2013. In addition, they promised to reduce the annual salary of the Diet members 20% till then.
    Abe became the Prime Minister as the result of general election.
    However, as of October, 2015, the reduction of the number of Diet members is not accomplished. On the contrary the 20% reduction for the annual salary of the Diet member was stopped.
My Opinion
  1. As the Prime Minister, he appears for various TV programs. Before becoming the prime minister he appeared in “Sokomade itte iinkai” of Yomiuri TV, he expressed his pet theory, and he caught the popularity of the nation.
    He talks about the political topic in detail, but his everyday conversation is not so interesting.
  2. He is not going to carry out the thing he promised in the Diet before the time limit. He shows faithfulness with other aspects, but he is a “liar” about this problem.
    The action of Abe tends to be aristocratic. When you watch his choice of the personnel such as the chairperson of NHK, you can not say he is popular. He seems to think that the common people make a stupid thought. Therefore, he seems to think that it is not such serious even if he does not carry out the promise for the nation.
    He is very proud of Former Prime Minister Shinsuke Kishi, his grandfather who revised the US-Japan Security Treaty in defiance of the opinion of the majority of nation. Therefore, he thinks the public opinion of the nation is temporary and so he does not trust people as well as Kishi.
  3. In July, 2014, the cabinet decided a change of the constitution interpretation forcibly to be able to use the right to collective self-defense, but is strongly suspected of the unconstitutionality. It is a fair way to change the constitution.
    The preamble of the constitution says, “we have determined to preserve our security and existence, trusting in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world.” The constitution assumes, “there are no countries which attack Japan because the countries of the world love peace.” But the Self-Defense Forces assume “a bad country may attack Japan.” So the Self-Defense Forces are suspected of breaching the constitution. Therefore the Supreme Court blurred it and avoided the judgment without saying, “the Self-Defense Forces is unconstitutional.”
    So if the Supreme Court performed judgment about “right to collective self-defense”, it would say, “the right is unconstitutional.” However, the court will avoid a judgment in the same logic even if somebody appeals to a trial for unconstitutionality of the constitution interpretation in a trial.

    In 1946 when Japanese Constitution was established, a Diet member of Communist Party asked Prime Minister Yoshida, “Does the Japanese Constitution deny right of self-defense?” The Prime Minister answered, “Article 9 does not deny right of self-defense. But as it denies both all armaments and right of belligerency, it abandons the war as the operation of the right of self-defense and the right of belligerency.” What a change of the interpretation since then!
    Though the constitution has not changed, it can change by the interpretation like this. Even if the constitution exists or not, it is the same. You can change it freely. So it is easy to accept “conscription system” in comparison with accepting “right to collective self-defense.” It is difficult to elicit “right to collective self-defense” from constitution Article 9, but it is not so difficult to interpret that “conscription system” is not included in “involuntary servitude” of constitution Article 18.

About history

  1. You can’t put away the history simply in the dualism of the good and the evil.

  2. For example, it is said Japanese military dominance let Japan go toward the world war 2.
    But in those days Japanese newspapers also wrote “Japan should fight USA.”
    And many people had supported the military, including the mass media.
    History is too complicated to classify something into the good and the evil.

  3. You should live with confidence in your country.
    You need to comprehend the era your ancestors had lived seriously.
    You should think about history with the open mind from the viewpoint of the people who lived in that era.
    It is the natural, and the most important way.

  4. You should have the responsibility for your people who lived in the past, and of course for current and future.
    That is to say you should always continue to have a prudent recognition of why the tradition that has been nurtured and spun in the long history of Japan, has been succeeded.
    That is the conservative spirit.
My Opinion
  • It is said, “the history is written by the winner”, and you can see many aspects that is advantageous to the winner in it.
    For example, the American president said America had used atomic bombs to Japan to declease the war dead. But it’s not true.
    Oliver Stone the famous American movie director says that America tried to put an end to the war by using A-bombs without Soviet Union’s help and to rule Japan and other Asian area before Soviet Union invaded there and America showed the Soviet Union that if the Soviet Union disobeyed America, America would drop A-bombs to the Soviet Union too. Also it meant the human experiments. （ Oliver Stone’s Untold History of the United States）
    Because it was not necessary to drop A-bombs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but it was enough to drop them into the sea to show Japan the power of A-bombs.
  • After World War 2, approximately 1,070,000 Japanese captives were not released by the Soviet Union and were forced to work in cruelly harsh conditions and approximately 340,000 captives died.
    But the Soviet Union was not investigated.
    The loser is investigated, but the winner is not investigated very much. It is what’s called real politics.

About a nation

  1. If the human rights of American are infringed abroad, the United States does not hesitate to deploy troops.

  2. In the Iran revolution in 1979, the American Embassy was occupied by the Khomeini faction of students and 52 American were taken hostage.
    The United States sent special forces and attempted to rescue the hostages.
    The United States applied sanctions against Iran and released all hostages.

  3. It leads to protecting Japanese economic activity overseas to show the national attitude that if criminals and terrorists harm Japanese, Japanese government will not be silent against them.
My Opinion
  • Japanese try to solve a problem calmly.
    So it is very difficult for Japanese to behave like American.
    In addition, it is more difficult legally if the incident happened in the foreign country.
  • After World War 2, the United States was going to make Japan the country which could never make war again.
    Therefore America pushed forward establishment such as new constitution of non-maintenance of the armed forces, democracy, freedom of expression, freedom of creed etc. and the purge from public service of the war criminals.
    Japanese who had a terrible experience in war did not want to do war again either. The thought of both accorded.
  • However, when the power of the socialism lengthened, America turned the occupation policy 180 degrees to make Japan the fort of anti-communism.
    The establishment of National Police Reserve, the cancellation of the purge from public service of war criminals and the purge from public service of the communists were carried out.
    However, people could not change the thought so suddenly. It is no wonder that people could not.
    Then the confrontation between the government and people happened. Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi of the government side was opposed to people.
  • Because Mr. Kishi is the grandfather of Mr. Abe, Mr. Abe sympathizes with Mr. Kishi and feels antipathy toward people of former days.
    Mr. Abe still has antipathy for the person who has the thought of people of former days.
  • The ideal of Mr. Abe is not a country which does not have the armed forces and does not make war that is rare in the world, but the country which has the armed forces and can make war like other countries in the world.

About Japan

  1. The construction of the great statue of Buddha in Nara was national project, but the aspect was quite different from that of the ancient Egyptian pyramid. The government did not commandeer people by a national order, but appealed for voluntary participation in the project, saying that both the Emperor and people were equal.

  2. Japan is the Land of Vigorous Rice Plants.
    The Japanese have got up early in the morning, sweated and plowed the fields, shared water, and in autumn, they have prayed for a staple grains abundant harvest with the imperial family from ancient times.

  3. Japan should have the capitalism appropriate for the Land of Vigorous Rice Plants.
    Japanese capitalism is not the capitalism that sweeps over the world from the Wall Street and is moved by avarice, but the capitalism that respects morals and knows the true richness while making much of free competition and open economy.
My Opinion
  1. It is difficult to think that the people voluntarily came over to Nara from all over Japan for the construction.
    I think that they were selected and assigned, like Sakimori (soldier garrisoned at strategic posts in Kyushu) or Eji(a military escort) . Because if you read Sakimori’s “Waka” in “Man'yōshū” (600-759), you will notice they emotionally recited the feeling that they did not want to go far away apart from their families.
    Although Abe and his ghostwriter talk about the history, they lacks knowledge for Japanese classics.
  2. Because of such a history, Japan is called “the safest country in the world” and “the country where the dropped wallet come back to yourself.”

About Education

  1. Thatcher who was the British Prime Minister carried out two things by “Education Reform Act”(1988). One is the correction of the masochistic biased education, the other is improvement of the education level. Those are both same as problems of Japanese education.

  2. Securing of quality of the teachers is a big task too. To say nothing of obscene teachers, the teachers who lack leadership continue increasing. Teachers who can not get normal communication with students are numerous. It is necessary to bring competition into the unsociable space called “school”, and to promote improvement of the quality of the teachers.

  3. According to the survey by educationists, the education level of the children of the family where the parents are high income earners and have high consciouness for education becomes higher. And as a result, the tendency that children themselves become the high income earners is seen. It is a matter of course that we will have the mechanism that even the children of the low-income person can have high standard of the education. It is the education voucher system to be expected as one of the measures. The protectors can thereby let their children go to the public school or the private school, regardless of having money or not.

  4. I want to make the society where people can attend useful and practical lectures in the university or the graduate school while working.
My Opinion
  1. I think the masochistic education without grounds is not good and conversely the education to be full of pride without grounds is not good either. I hope education with scientific and logical grounds.
  2. It is simply because they employ many bad teachers.
    It is strange that he grieves that there are many teachers who are not excellent while the government lowered the salary of teachers. Actually, it is department of education to have lowest deviation value at a university.
    It is the natural market mechanism that if the salary of teachers rises, competition of the department of education increases and excellent students gather there. It is the market mechanism that excellent people gather for doctor whose salary is high.
    Therefore, if you bring in the competition principle without raising the salary of teachers, the excellent teachers will move to other fields and only the teachers who are not so will stay.
  3. The UK does not have a legal school hour rule. In addition, government-designated or the authorized textbook does not exist. Though they have less school hour in Finland where scholastic ability is high, Japanese government tried to increase school hours. It will help students to increase knowledge, but is it effective in order to improve the PISA-typed true scholastic ability of students?
    The school education must offer public service to the children who do not want to go to school too. That is the public education.
    On the contrary, only the person who wants to goes to the store. Does the free competition principle to work in the store apply to the public education? Aren’t the students who are not excellent cut off in the same way the products which are not popular are thrown away?
    The English researcher says, “the reformation based on competition principle in the UK seems to have pushed inequity potentially.”（wikipedia）
  4. This is well known about the United States, but not Japan. I expect the society Mr.Abe says will come true , but there is no atmosphere it comes true. About this matter, Abe and his ghostwriter just says so but he is not going to realize that.

About “Yasukuni” problem

  1. When did the Yasukuni problem start?

    On August 15, 1985 China criticized Japan when Prime Minister Nakasone did the official worship to Yasukuni shrine.
    Because on August 7 one week before the worship, Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun put the following articles, “China is gazing harshly on the Yasukuni Shrine worship problem.”

    The spokesman of Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed formal intention opposite to worship of Yasukuni shrine of the Prime Minister for the first time.
    They said, “the Prime Minister’s Yasukuni visits hurt the feelings of the Asian people because the Class-A war criminals are enshrined too.”
    It was the time that Class-A war criminals problem came out.
    They got a hint from the article of the Asahi Shimbun.

  2. In 1978 seven years before 1985, the spirit of “the Class-A war criminals” were enshrined together to Yasukuni shrine.
    China had not made any claim though three generations of the Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, Masayoshi Ohira and Yoshiyuki Suzuki went to the shrine and worshiped.
    Because China knew the Japan-China Treaty of Peace and Friendship concluded in 1978 said that they do not do the intervention in domestic affairs each other.

  3. Some of Class-A war criminals were pardoned later, and some became a Diet member.
    Mamoru Shigemitsu became the Minister of Foreign Affairs when Japan joined the United Nations, and he got the Order of the first class.
    At the place of the United Nations, he had not been impeached.
    And the Japanese Government did not deprive him of the Order.

  4. It is a proper act that the leader of a country shows sense of respect for the people who sacrificed themselves for their country.
    In addition, it will be an extremely natural thing that there is the way of praying in conformity with a tradition and culture of the country.

  5. Some say, “Japan walks a militaristic way, because you can see that on Yasukuni worship.”
    But,

    1. Did postwar Japanese leaders, e.g., Prime Minister give directions to invade neighboring countries?
    2. Did they try to have a long-range missile to attack other countries?
    3. Did they try to have a nuclear armament?
    4. Did they suppress human rights?
    5. Did they limit freedom?
    6. Did they destroy democracy?

    The answers are “No.”
    Where can you find the militarism in Japan?

    Surely, Japan is the nation unrelated to the militarism, but the nation of democracy.
My Opinion
  1. China is not inferior to other countries in the craftiness.
    They aim to speak ill of Japan while they will not miss every chance.
    I am sure that they found fault in Japan when they paid attention to an article of the Asahi Shimbun, and thought “this is good, this is a chance.” But it is easy to imagine that even if the Asahi Shimbun had not done it, China would have discovered how to find faults in Japan and been pleased with it.
  2. In Japan, they do not think about Class-A war criminals in the same way as Hitler and the Nazis.
    They think that responsibility of the war is responsibility of all and the people of Class-A war criminals thought about Japan’s interest and acted.
    It is a way of thinking to shuffle off all responsibility on Class-A war criminals and to protect Japan from criticism of China and Korea, but it’s difficult for them to think so.
    National traits of “it’s not clear who is responsible” influence that.
  3. Because Mr. Shinsuke Kishi the grandfather of Mr. Abe was considered to be a Class-A war criminal suspect, Mr. Abe is sympathetic to Class-A war criminals in particular.
    There is a plan to separately enshrine Class-A war criminals, but Mr. Abe wants to go and worship souls of dead soldiers including Class-A war criminals.
    From a global way of thinking, the Japanese thinking may be hard to be understood.
    It is important that Japan explains continuously to the world more and more.

  4. It is China who can answer “yes” to upper questions.
    1. China is going to expand the territory and the sea area in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
    2. China annexed Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uygur district and oppresses people of Tibet and Uygur.
    3. China oppresses human rights of Chinese people.
    4. China does not have the democracy.
    It is boundless if you give these specific examples.

About national anthem

  1. “Kimigayo”, Japanese national anthem is the non-combative national anthem which is rare in the world.
    The lyrics are very grand.

  2. The part of the national anthem
    “Till the tiny small pebble
    Into mighty rocks shall grow
    Hoary moss shall overgrow them all”
    symbolizes the eternal time of nature and the eternal history of the country.

    That is quite typically Japanese.
    The harmony with nature, the importance of living together and a continuity of the history are condensed there.

  3. American National Anthem says, “O, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave?”

  4. This expresses the scene which the Star-Spangled Banner fluttered in the fort while receiving an intense attack, when the U.S. and Britain war happened in 1812 after the independence.

  5. As for “La Marseillaise”, it says, “Go ahead! Until dirty blood dyes our fields.”
My Opinion
  1. Most of national anthems are brave and cheerful.
    There are few which are quiet like Japanese national anthem “Kimigayo.”
    The West-like bright melodies by the major key like China or Korea are good, but “Kimigayo” is good too, because the melody is traditional and has strong originality.
  2. It says, “the times of the Emperor may last forever.” You should think “the emperor-as-a-symbol system continues” as Mr. Abe says.
    As the constitution says, the existence of “the Emperor”, gathers up the nation.
  3. “Kimigayo” is not good for people who deny the Emperor system, but it is good for people who answer in the affirmative.

About patriotism

  1. To be a member of some group means you have some standard to decide something.
    That gives you the confidence and the responsibility for the way of life of yourself.
    Such a person can live a substantial life.
    Because if the group is an organization or your home town, you try to protect it with love and act not to destroy it.
    The attachment to the group is born in that way.

  2. You want to make the area where you live in better.
    If the area is your hometown, you feel so all the more.
    In addition, it leads to the thought for your country.

  3. The person who throw away an empty can of the juice is the person who does not have attachment on the land.
    If you think the loss and gain, it is comfortable to throw it away there.
    You need ethical norms and some standard such as emotion that is not the loss and gain, to take it home with you without throwing it away.
    That is the patriotism.

  4. It is necessary for youths to come to have the feeling of love to the country naturally where they were born and raised.
    At first it is necessary for the education and the local community to bring up regionalism.
    The sense of belonging to the country or patriotism is bred on the extended line.

  5. Some say it is the narrow-minded nationalism that a Japanese raises a Japanese national flag.
    The narrow-minded nationalism applies to an act like baking the national flag of other countries.

  6. When the Asian Cup of soccer carried out in Chongqing in summer of 2004, the intense boos for the Japanese team developed into a riot out of the sports stadium.
    In 2005 anti-Japan demonstration got up this time in each place of the coast of China.
    The demonstration that began in April in Chengdu leaped to Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
    The Chinese broke Japanese buildings, injured Japanese and baked Japanese national flag.
    These are the narrow-minded nationalism.

  7. However, though many Japanese people showed discomfort for the anti-Japan demonstration in China,
    they did not bake the Chinese flag and did not throng to Chinese embassy in Japan.
    And of course, Chinese students who stayed in Japan were not tormented either.
My Opinion
  • I think that the thought that regionalism develops and becomes the patriotism is good.
    The patriotism forcing from the top is not good and does not colonize.
  • If Japanese behaved like Chinese, in other words, they baked the Chinese flag, thronged to Chinese embassy in Japan, and harmed Chinese in Japan, it would not be real Japanese and it would not be real nationalism.
  • The government should advertise more in the world that the Japanese patriotism is different from that of Chinese.

About the Constitution and the right to collective self-defense

  1. In 1945, the occupation army made three principles, namely to retain the Emperor, to abolish feudalism and to let Japan abandon war forever.
    You can see American attitude toward Japan by the 9th article of the constitution, “the renunciation of war.”

  2. The United States let Japan make the constitution with strong will, for Japan not to challenge the Europe and America-centered order again, to follow American interest and United Nations’ interest.
    The United States let Japan abandon not only war, but also the war potential and the right of belligerency.

  3. The preamble of the constitution says, “we have determined to preserve our security and existence, trusting in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world.”

  4. The United States tried to realize own idealism in Japan.
    It was finished writing in the short term, approximately ten days by the progressive young GHQ(general headquarters) staff.

  5. But, five years later, the United States changed the occupation policy because of Korean War.
    The United States recognized Japan had some force that was not “the war potential.”
    That is the beginning of the Self-Defense Forces.

    (Japan could not “trust in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world.”
    The idea of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces is against that of the Japanese constitution. Therefore various problems come out of this contradiction.)

  6. According to the constitution interpretation by the Japanese government as of 2013, the United States Armed Forces can use the right to collective self-defense and defend Japan, but Japan cannot use the right to collective self-defense.
    That means, for example, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces must leave the place, if U.S. forces receive an attack from an enemy, when the soldier of the U.S. forces dispatched in the case of neighbor countries of Japan emergency meets with a disaster on high seas, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces deal with help.
    When the Japanese Self-Defense Forces don’t receive an attack, but U.S. forces are attacked, the Self-Defense Forces can’t help U.S. forces.

    Even if the spy ship of the terrorist who piles up weapons of mass destruction comes over on Tokyo Bay to attack Japan, Japan cannot use military power and remove the ship unless it does some kind of attacks to Japan.

  7. In April 1993, a dispatched Japanese election watchman for PKO in Cambodia was shot dead by someone and in May a Japanese civilian police officer received the attack of the armament group and died.
    Because by the PKO law, the weapon use of a member of Self-Defense Forces is forbidden other than a case of the self-defense.
    So he could not have the duty of the guard of the civilians.

  8. It is necessary to accept the right to collective self-defense by constitution interpretation
    and
    to place the Self-Defense Forces with “Defence Force” that has “war potential” by a constitutional amendment.
My Opinion
  • The constitution assumes, “there are no countries which attack Japan because the countries of the world love peace.” The Self-Defense Forces assume “a bad country may attack Japan.”
    The Self-Defense Forces contradict the constitution obviously. We have deceived the contradiction by interpretation of the constitution, but it is clear you must change the constitution or you must abolish the Self-Defense Forces.
    It is obvious that you cannot but change the constitution if you watch the reality of China, North Korea and Russia.
  • I don’t think that this contradiction is understood by the nation very much.
    I think that Japanese pay for their idleness that they have continued to pocket the contradiction by constitution interpretation.
    And if the Supreme Court had performed judgment clearly that the Self-Defense Forces were unconstitutional, they would have thought about the revision of the constitution seriously.
    But they have not thought seriously and have thought politics and trials are irresponsible, because the Court judged it ambiguously.
  • The policy to accept the Japanese right to collective self-defense by constitution interpretation is thought as a pinch-hitter until the constitution is revised, but it may be difficult legitimately?
    However in 2014, the Abe Cabinet has forcibly changed the interpretation of the constitution about the right to collective self-defense in defiance of a common view. If it can be changed by the interpretation like this, it makes no difference whether the constitution exists or not. You can change it freely. So it is easy to accept “conscription system” in comparison with accepting “right to collective self-defense.” It was difficult to elicit “right to collective self-defense” from constitution Article 9, but it is not so difficult to interpret that “conscription system” is not included in “involuntary servitude” of constitution Article 18.

About China

  1. The philosophy of “the equality of the result” that was one of the Chinese props is lost by introduction of the principle of market economy.
    Wage differentials of Chinese people are increasing more and more.
    It is “economic growth” and “anti-Japan nationalism” to play a role as the substitute.
    Chinese government must suppress much dissatisfaction of Chinese people.
    So “Anti-Japan nationalism” is indispensable to gather up China.

  2. It is often said Japan did not apologize to China about the mistakes of the past history .
    But Japan apologized to China for 20 times formally.
    It is the 21st in Asian-African Conference of 2005 exactly.

  3. The help to China by ODA including loans that is useful for economic development of China exceeds 3 trillion yen.
    But they are not known, and China does not inform them to Chinese people intentionally.
    The Japanese Government is not going to advertise it, either.

  4. China is the energy consumer of the second place of the world, but unfortunately the present conditions of the energy efficiency are not good.
    In that respect, the energy saving technology of Japan surpasses the other developed countries.
    We should give China positively the know-how that Japan experienced and developed.
    The cooperation of this field is the theme that is important for the world and for the Chinese economy.
My Opinion
  1. China does not hesitate to speak what may be a lie and China speaks it magnificently. For example, you can see that in the freezing gyoza case of China.
    They said Japanese had put poison to the gyoza in Japan.
    But it was a mistake or a lie.
    Besides, they did not apologize about the mistake at all.
  2. Japanese speak in a diffident manner and do not say the thing that is not certain all the time in comparison with Chinese.
    It is necessary to explain and advertise in detail about Japanese character, Japanese culture, and the situation of Japan exactly.
    Or it might be misunderstood in the world that what China says is right.
