  Roundup
  1. Money is the first. They do anything for money. They are good at business.
  2. They don't apologize any time, even if they think they are bad. Japanese apologize immediately, but Chinese never apologize. Chinese think that it is your defeat if you apologize.
  3. China is the country of "egocentrism". Even if another person is troubled by Chinese, it does not matter for Chinese basically. China criticizes things that aren't going just as it expects. Hua–Yi distinction does not change. The Chinese government is the dynasty of "pseudo-communism".
  4. The Chinese act without minding other persons. They tend to be disliked in the foreign countries, because they act in defiance of good manners. The Chinese vomit a sputum on the way, and speak like thunder sounds.
  5. When they wait for a train, they do not line up in the row. The battle for a seat is to the strong.
  6. Their politics is same, too. Both the international law and the human rights have nothing to do with Chinese government. They think "The international politics is decided not by international law, but by power".
    • China insists on the possession of Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands and the sea area. Spratly Islands are too far from China and almost in other countries. And southern part of the sea area encroaches upon other countries.
    • There had not been Senkaku Islands in Chinese map of Governmental publishing company until 1971 since the People's Republic of China was formed in 1949. But such a reason does not matter for China.
    • In 2013 Chinese governmental newspaper "People's Daily" said "Okinawa" belongs to China too.
  7. Chinese people may get along well with President Trump, because they resemble him.


BASIC DATA

How Asia-Pacific Publics See Each Other,  South Korea's favorable rating is the lowest
 (U.S.・PEW RESEARCH CENTER) (September 2, 2015)

Overall, despite historical and territorial frictions, Asia-Pacific publics tend to view their regional neighbors in a positive light, with Japan judged most favorably.

Japan enjoys a relatively positive image, except in China and South Korea. Eight-in-ten or more Malaysians (84%), Vietnamese (82%), Filipinos (81%) and Australians (80%) express a favorable opinion of Japan. About seven-in-ten Indonesians (71%) agree. Such views are largely unchanged from 2014, except in Malaysia where favorability of Japan increased 9 points since 2014. As a point of comparison, 74% of Americans voice positive sentiments about Japan.

But long-standing historical animosities and recent territorial tensions are evident in Chinese and South Korean views of Japan. Just 12% of Chinese and 25% of South Koreans express favorable views toward Japan. And 53% of Chinese say they have a very unfavorable assessment of Japan.

A majority of people in the Asia-Pacific region who were surveyed, not including the Chinese, have a positive view of China. Public views of China have improved in the past year in the Philippines (+16 points) and India (+10 points). However, the Vietnamese (only 19% favorable) and the Japanese (9%) do not see China in a positive light. In fact, almost half the Japanese (49%) express a very unfavorable view of China. Asia-Pacific views of China are far more positive than the perception held by Americans. In the United States, only 38% have a favorable opinion of China.

South Korea's favorable rating is the lowest of the four Asian nations tested.

There is a 19-percentage-point differential between Aussie men's views of South Korea (71% favorable) and Aussie women's opinions (52%).

My Opinion
  1. Japan's favorable rating is the highest. It never changes that Korea expresses a unfavorable opinion of Japan. Because Korea is the country which is formed by criticizing Japan.
  2. It is natural that the Vietnamese and the Japanese do not see China in a positive light, because they are going to have their territory plundered by China.
  3. Why is South Korea's favorable rating low in Pakistan and India? Why is South Korea's favorable rating low in Aussie women?
  4. It is necessary for the lowest South Korea to make an effort to increase the rating. It is necessary to change national traits.

Japan's favorable rating is the highest. Japanese - "anti-Korea & anti-China", Chinese - "anti-Japan & pro-Korea"
 (Korea・Yonhapnews)  (China・Finance Sina)  (November 8, 2015)

On November 8 South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the result of the questionary survey for 5,600 people of 14 countries including Japan, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia and United States.

It became clear that Japanese have the strong tendency of "anti-Korea" & "anti-China" and the Chinese still have the tendency of "anti-Japan". Even if the summit of Japan, China and South Korea was held, national sentiments to the partner countries are not improved yet.

  • 5.8% of Japanese indicated a good feeling about China. 14.0% about Korea.
  • 35.3% of Chinese indicated a good feeling about Japan. 65.8% about Korea.
  • 77.7% of Japanese dislike China, and 41.7% of Chinese dislike Japan.
  • This survey excludes the Korean. There are no investigation about how Korean dislikes China or Japan.
    According to the surveys by "Global view of China" and "BBC World Service POLL",
    56% of Koreans dislike China and , 79% dislike Japan.

The national emotions of three countries are getting worse because of the confrontations around the history and the territory. The Korean diplomatic service explains that the suspicion for Korea is relatively weaker than the ditch of between China and Japan. It points out that Korea can play an important role in promoting a collaborative relationship in the East Asia.

According to the survey, Japan's favorable rating is the highest in 12 countries except Japan and China.

  • "Do you have a good feeling about Japan?"    Yes - 63.7%, No - 7.9%
  • "Do you have a good feeling about Korea?"    Yes - 46.6%, No - 18.4%
  • "Do you have a good feeling about China?"    Yes - 32.9%, No - 29.0%

Chinese news always say that "the sudden rise of China is welcomed in the world". But the people of 14 countries including Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and the United States do not welcome China so much.

My Opinion
  1. Because Japanese extremely mind the evaluations of other persons, they act so that other persons do not have antipathy to Japanese.
  2. The Chinese act without minding other persons. They tend to be disliked in the foreign countries, because they act in defiance of good manners. Even if you show any evidences or data, China never admits that China is not welcomed in the world. China does not accept any things against Chinese claims. So China does not accept Chinese cyber attacks to USA or the territory problems either.

How do Chinese people look at countries in the world?
(Countries' influence on the world - BBC World Service poll)   (2014)   (2014年)

My Opinion
  1. Because anti-Japan education has been performed in China, the negative viewpoint for Japan is strong. Even now all the Japanese coming out to Chinese dramas and movies are bad people.
  2. However, the negative viewpoint for Japan is decreasing, as Chinese who visit Japan and know the true Japanese are increasing.
  3. On the contrary, in Japan there were many positive viewpoints for Chinese. But the negative viewpoints for China are increasing, as Japanese learn to know the real Chinese who ignore the rules.

It is strange that Chinese helps Japan! Chinese travelers should change destinations.
 (China・hexun.com)  (January 11, 2016)

The exchange rate of Chinese yuan became weaker than Japanese Yen, the U. S. dollar, New Zealand dollar and the Hong Kong dollar in January 7, 2016 in comparison with August 12, 2015. It became weaker nearly 10% for the Japanese Yen in particular. In other words, this means that the cost of the trip to Japan rose approximately 10% for a Chinese traveler and that the charm of the trip to Japan fades for us who is sensitive to a price.

You should consider the inflation rate of the country too. For example, the inflation rate in Russia and Brazil are higher than 10%, and the benefit of the strong yuan disappears. Even if you deduct the inflation rate from the exchange rate in Malaysia and Singapore, Chinese yuan is stronger substantially more than 4%, and they are advantageous foreign countries for destination. Even if you consider inflation rate of Japan, Chinese yuan is weaker nearly 10%, and after all the Chinese travelers can not feel sense of cheap.

Therefore according to this calculation, going to Malaysia is advantageous much more than going to Japan. Unless you have the reason you must go to Japan, you should change the destination. It is strange that your vacation help with economic growth of Japan.

In conclusion the recommended destinations on the Chun Jie holidays are Malaysia and Singapore if you want to experience warmth earlier and Canada if you want to experience winter cold.

My Opinion
  1. You should go anywhere you want. Indeed, it is Chinese that even a major newspaper says "It is strange that your vacation helps with economic growth of Japan".

A French tells "How to distinguish between Chinese and Japanese".
 (China・Duowei News)  (January 5, 2016)

My French friend who likes culture of China and Japan said, "When I see a Asian walking a downtown in Paris, I can distinguish between Chinese and Japanese even if the Asian is speaking nothing". I was very embarrassed and ashamed to hear the reason.

He says there are three ways.

At first, The difference in the clothes and the looking. The Japanese do the elegant manner. On the contrary, the Chinese wear slovenly even if they wear the suits. The Japanese dress even the clothes of the non-brand well cleanly, and mind the hairstyle too. The Chinese like wearing the suits, but their posture is slovenly and they are unconcerned about hairstyle and appearance.

Second Japanese is polite and have humility and talk in a low voice. The Chinese sit down and relax anywhere, vomit a sputum on the way, and speak like thunder sounds. The Japanese give way to each other in the streets and have perseverance patiently waiting a red light. The Chinese lack in the concept called mutual concessions and walk to compete. When Chinese are tired, they lie down anywhere, take off a tie, roll up the hem of pants, occupy the passage and talk loudly. They behave to selfishness as if only they existed in the world.

Third the Japanese appreciate art slowly and carefully at a famous place and respect cultural environment. The Chinese leave quickly after they finish taking a photograph without minding artistic quality. The Japanese understand appreciation of the art. But only visiting is important for Chinese and they are not interested in artistic value.

Conclusion:
"The lifestyle" is related to not only personal conduct and personality, but also the human race and the national image. In particular, the good custom of one person raises the reputation of the nation and the human race of the person. The bad custom of one person sometimes injures the reputation of that.
My Opinion
  1. The national traits that have been cultivated for several hundred years are not changed.

Demonstrators take to Hong Kong's streets to protest missing booksellers
 (U.S.・CNN)  (January 11, 2016)

Hong Kong (CNN) - Thousands of Hong Kongers took to the city's streets Sunday to protest the mysterious disappearance of a number of publishers and booksellers.

The protesters say five citizens -- some of whom also hold European passports and who publish books that are often critical of the Chinese leadership -- were taken by Chinese authorities.

The latest to vanish, Lee Bo, disappeared from his warehouse last month. His company, Causeway Bay Books, was due to publish a book on Chinese president Xi Jinping's alleged love affairs before he came to power, according to Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmaker Albert Ho.

Protesters chanted "no to cross-border abductions" and "stop political kidnapping" at the march, which went from the Special Administrative Region's government offices in the business district of Admiralty to the Chinese government's liaison office in the western Hong Kong district of Sai Wan.

Hong Kong police estimated there were 3,500 protesters at the peak of the protest. Protest organizers, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, said there were 6,000.

Although it was returned to Chinese control in 1997, Hong Kong has different laws from China, agreed to under a 50-year compact between China and the UK, which administered Hong Kong before the handover.

Under the agreement, called the Basic Law, Chinese legal authorities have no jurisdiction in the city.

The Basic Law -- which espouses a system commonly known as "one country, two systems" -- guarantees freedoms of speech in Hong Kong that are not granted in the mainland.

With the disappearances, pro-democracy activists in the city say that Chinese authorities are riding roughshod over the agreement.

Speaking in Beijing last week, British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond said he had urgently inquired of both Hong Kong and mainland Chinese authorities about the whereabouts of Lee.

Lee holds a British passport, but Chinese authorities do not recognize dual citizenship and say Chinese nationals, including those in Hong Kong, are Chinese "first."

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who appeared with Hammond, said that Lee was "first and foremost" a Chinese citizen and it was "not necessary for anyone to make groundless speculations" about his whereabouts.

My Opinion
  1. China does not want to keep the promise of "the one nation, two systems". It's just a matter of time that Hong Kong will become same as mainland China. Both the international law and the promise have no meaning for China.

Why does Taiwanese not have anti-Japan sentiment ?
 (China・Wanhuajing)  (January 1, 2016)

In Taiwan where an epidemic was ungoverned in those days, the rule by Japan restrained epidemics such as malaria or cholera and improved the public hygiene. Japan solved the problems in only approximately ten years. It was impossible for the Qing dynasty to solve them.

In addition, the Japanese police protected law strictly and did administration without the corruption to maintain the peace and order. It was also impossible for the Qing dynasty to do so.

Furthermore, Japan performed "agriculture reform" in Taiwan. Specifically, they are selective breeding, fertilization, mothproofing, the setting of irrigation facilities and the work system which were consistent from production to processing. As a result of this full-scale agriculture reform, the Taiwanese people obtained a big profit.

Taito in the Japanese colonial days 

My Opinion
  1. There seem to be many Taiwanese longing for the Japan times, because the politics of Kuomintang that fled into Taiwan from mainland China after defeat of Japan was terrible too.
  2. The Korean is anti-Japan unlike Taiwanese, though Japan ruled Korea same as Taiwan.
    The Korean cannot accurately evaluate the rule by Japan in spite of having been modernized by Japan, because Korean thinks that they are superior than Japanese.

‘Made in China’ hoverboard scooter explodes and burns down flat
 (Hong Kong Free Press)  (November 30, 2015)

A “made in China” hoverboard – or electric scooter – exploded on Monday morning causing a fire that burned down a flat in Wong Tai Sin.

Ms Au, living in Kam Wah House of Choi Hung Estate, told Apple Daily that she bought the hoverboard in Shenzhen last week, for around HK$1,800.

She used the electric scooter once and she was recharging it at 2:00 a.m. after its battery went flat. Fumes started coming out of the product two hours later. Au pulled the plug but the fire had already started.

Au woke her mother and brother, urging them to vacate the flat. She said that she felt regretful, and from this accident she realised that “Chinese products will explode.”

Around 200 people had to evacuate the building, Oriental Daily reported.

Au said she hoped the Housing Authority could relocate them to a temporary flat soon.

A pair of tortoises the family had kept for some ten years were also saved from the fire.

Why Hoverboards Keep Exploding
 (Wired.com)  (November 12, 2015)

THOSE SELF-BALANCING SCOOTERS that everyone’s calling “hoverboards” don’t actually hover. But that’s not the strangest thing about them?that would be the fact that this year’s most popular holiday gift keeps catching on fire.

An exploding two-wheeler burned down a house in Louisiana a few weeks ago; another scooter combusted in the same state in the past week. A gyroboard caused significant damage to a home in New York a few days ago. At a mall in Washington this week, a scooterboard caught fire and shoppers were forced to evacuate. The perceived danger is significant enough that major airlines have banned the little vehicles altogether.

Hoverboard explodes 'like a bomb' causing £25,000 worth of damage to house in fire
 (U.K.・Mirror)  (November 2, 2015)

Following another incident where a hoverboard went up in flames, London Fire Brigade issued a warning of the dangers by leaving them unattended while charging

BBC’s investigation programme Watchdog raised concerns about the plugs supplied with some hoverboards, most of which are made in China, as they did not appear to be standard British plugs.

My Opinion
  1. Chinese do anything for profits. It is good for them to get profit, even if hoverboard scooter explodes and burns down. Even if you demand compensation for damages against the Chinese companies, they do not pay it.

Chinese Official Vows Punishment Over Shenzhen Landslide
 (US・The New York Times)  (December 25, 2015)

BEIJING — The Communist Party chief of Shenzhen, the southern Chinese city where a huge pile of construction debris collapsed, toppling 33 buildings and trapping dozens of people, bowed in contrition on Friday and vowed to punish anyone found culpable. The apology came on the same day that central government investigators confirmed that the disaster was man-made.

The party secretary, Ma Xingrui, made the unusual gesture of official remorse during a televised news conference five days after the landslide of dirt and waste unleashed a torrent of mud that smothered or wrecked the buildings, including factories and housing.

By the latest count on Friday, 75 people were missing. By Thursday, a city paper reported, rescuers had found the bodies of seven victims, although their identities had not been confirmed. One survivor was pulled from a building buried under the dense, rust-brown muck.

Mr. Ma said the Shenzhen government “expresses its condolences for all the victims, and offers sincere apologies to the families of the victims and the missing, to those who were injured and other members of the public who have suffered,” Phoenix Television, a Hong Kong-based satellite service, reported.

With other senior city officials at his side, Mr. Ma bowed to the cameras and indicated that he would also accept responsibility for the disaster. The Shenzhen city leadership, he said, “will assume whatever responsibility should be assumed, accept whatever punishment is due, and punish whoever should be punished.”

In China, disasters are often followed by dismissals of officials and prosecution of bureaucrats and executives deemed culpable. It became even more likely that the debris slide in Shenzhen would bring similar recriminations after central government investigators declared that it was not a natural disaster.

My Opinion
  1. It is extremely unusual for a Chinese to apologize. He cannot help quieting the anger of the people only by apology.

Trial of Pu Zhiqiang
 (U.S.・Bureau of Public Affairs)  (December 22, 2015)

The United States welcomes reports that Pu Zhiqiang, a prominent Chinese defense lawyer, has been released from detention.

The United States is disturbed, however, that Mr. Pu was convicted and given a three-year suspended sentence, following 19 months of detention, on vague charges of “inciting ethnic hatred” and “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” We urge Chinese authorities to vacate Mr. Pu’s conviction immediately and unconditionally.

Pu Zhiqiang is a courageous defense attorney recognized around the world for his work to strengthen the rule of law in China. Civil society leaders such as Mr. Pu should be allowed to contribute to the building of a prosperous and stable China.

My Opinion
  1. In the criminal law, "the vague rule" is not permitted from the viewpoint of "principle of legality". Because "the vague rule" allows to make guilt arbitrarily.
  2. However, China has neither "the rule of law" nor "the principle of legality" nor "the separation of threes powers of administration".

Japan pips China in race to build India's first bullet train on Mumbai-Ahmedabad route
 (China・Global Times)  (India・The Economic Times)  (December 10, 2015)

China today played down arch rival Japan winning the contract to build India's first bullet train project as officials said the deal is confined to one sector and claimed India is still open to Chinese investments on other high-speed routes depending on easy financing.

The proposed agreement to be signed during Japan premier Shinzo Abe's visit to New Delhi on Saturday is for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor and India's decision to opt for high speed rail in other corridors will depend on easy and affordable financing terms as offered by Tokyo for the first bullet train in India, they said.

There are comments of Indian users pleased with Japan's winning on the net.

"Japan's technology will be 100 times better than Chinese technology."

"Japanese technology is unquestionably the best whether it be cars, ships, trains or for that matter anything, that is made in japan or by Japanese companies elsewhere."

"Very good news. Keep Chinese away from getting contracts. Let them go and build trains for Pakistan."

My Opinion
  1. The reason the governmental newspaper put the Indian anti-China comments in China where censorship is severe is that they want to tell Chinese about the Indian feeling for China? However, they do not put more scathing comments.
  2. Indian other comments
    • Don't allow Chinese companies in India if that company is doing business in pakistan. Otherwise it will be a clash of interest and moreover it's a security issue too.
    • China forces Japan and Germany to transfer technology when China started building bullet train networks. On top of it they stole technology from these companies. Now Japanese and German companies have to deal with a monster they created. The same story for cell phones and telecom infrastructure. Don't go with Chinese companies. Unfortunately Telecom Companies like Rel Juo are lapping up Chinese low cost loans.
    • Good, Let china built highways and bullet trains in Pakistan, Japanese technology is better. Also. Japan is a good friend, China being a conditional neighbour.
    • Chinese technology is Japanese and German. I trust Japan.
    • Keep the Chinese out of these high speed trains. You never know which type of parts and equipments they would use. Because it's not like they are going to set up plants here to produce those equipments.

Xu Ming, Businessman Connected to Bo Xilai, Dies in Prison - Billionaire founder of Dalian Shide Group, is suspected to have had a heart attack
 (Creaders.NET)  (U.S.・Wall Street Journal)  (December 6, 2015)

BEIJING—A billionaire Chinese businessman who had close ties to disgraced politician Bo Xilai and who testified against him, has died in prison of a suspected heart attack, according to Chinese state media reports.

Xu Ming, the founder of the conglomerate Dalian Shide Group, died Friday in a prison in the central city of Wuhan at the age of 44, the Beijing Youth Daily, a newspaper affiliated to the Communist Party's youth wing, said Monday.

Relatives and former colleagues brought his ashes back to his hometown, the northeastern city of Dalian, for a memorial service Sunday, according to the state media reports.

Friends and former colleagues of Mr. Xu didn't respond to requests for comment. His family and Dalian Shide couldn't be reached for comment. A prison official in Hubei province, where Wuhan is located, said that he had hadn't heard of Mr. Xu and that prison authorities normally didn't announce the death of an inmate.

Mr. Xu was a key figure in the scandal that rocked the Communist Party elite following the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood by Mr. Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, in 2011. She was given a suspended death sentence for that crime in 2012. Mr. Bo, once a rising star in the Communist Party, was given a life sentence a year later for bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power.

Mr. Xu, who was ranked by Forbes in 2005 as China's eighth-richest man, built his fortune in Dalian while Mr. Bo was mayor there from 1993 to 2001. The company grew to include plastics, finance and property; it also owned the local soccer team.

Lin Lefeng, a former general manager of the Dalian Shide soccer club, was quoted by the Beijing Youth Daily as saying that Mr. Xu possibly had died of a myocardial infarction—a technical term for a heart attack—but that had not been confirmed.

“In the past, we've never heard of Xu Ming having this illness,” the newspaper quoted Mr. Lin as telling one of their reporters. “So everyone feels this is rather sudden.”

Chinese leaders fired Mr. Bo as Communist Party chief of the southwestern city of Chongqing in March 2012 after the city's police chief sought refuge in a U.S. consulate voicing what were later revealed as suspicions about the death of the British businessman, Mr. Heywood. Mr. Xu was detained soon after, according to people familiar with the matter.

Chinese authorities have never said whether Mr. Xu was formally charged, tried or convicted of any wrongdoing. His only public appearance since his detention was at Mr. Bo's trial in 2013.

Mr. Xu testified that he had given Mr. Bo's wife about $3.1 million to buy a villa in the south of France and that he helped fund the lifestyle of one of Mr. Bo's sons, including paying a credit-card bill, funding a trip to Africa and buying him a two-wheeled Segway-like electric vehicle, according to official accounts of the proceedings.

Mr. Bo cross-examined Mr. Xu in court and denied knowledge of those transactions. He was convicted of crimes including taking bribes totaling about $3.3 million from Mr. Xu and others.

Other state media reports quoted Mr. Lin saying that Mr. Xu was due to complete his prison term in September. Mr. Lin couldn't be reached for comment.

My Opinion
  1. Anything depends on the Communist Party in China. There is not the separation of threes powers of administration. There are not the human rights, either. There is only autocracy by Communist Party.

Chengdu Airlines: ARJ21 is very safe. Don't worry, everybody.
 (China・Global Times)  (December 4, 2015)

The biggest interest matter in ARJ21 is safety. It has spent more than ten years and has devoted itself to making ARJ21, from development drafting in 2002 to maiden flight in 2008 and the delivery in 2015. ARJ21 was supervised strictly at each stage of research and development by a third party. The examination of each stage was strict based on global standards, too. Reliability does not have the question. The people can completely feel relieved.

"It is very high in the safety of the civil aviation of China and it is more than that of the United States," Zhuan, chairperson of Chengdu Airlines explained. "We have prepared for the introduction of ARJ21 heartily. If we describe this domestic passenger plane easily, it matures theoretically, the system is good and the security is high."

My Opinion
  1. In Japan you cannot see the article to emphasize safety of Japanese MRJ. The article to emphasize safety of ARJ21 indicates that Chinese reliability for the industrial products of their own country is low.

Chinese government has arrested hackers it says breached Office of Personnel Management(OPM)'s database
  (U.S. ・Washington Post)  (December 2, 2015)

The Chinese government recently arrested a handful of hackers it says were connected to the breach of Office of Personnel Management(OPM)'s database this year, a mammoth break-in that exposed the records of more than 22 million current and former federal employees.

The arrests took place shortly before a state visit in September by President Xi Jinping, and U.S. officials say they appear to have been carried out in an effort to lessen tensions with Washington.

The identities of the suspects — and whether they have any connection to the Chinese government — remain unclear.

If the individuals detained were indeed the hackers, the arrests would mark the first measure of accountability for what has been characterized as one of the most devastating breaches of U.S. government data in history.

But officials said it has been difficult to confirm whether the people rounded up were connected to the OPM breach.

“We don't know that if the arrests the Chinese purported to have made are the guilty parties,” said one US official who — like others interviewed — spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject's sensitivity.

Since the intrusions were disclosed in June, U.S. government officials have said they suspected the involvement of the Chinese government, in particular the civilian Ministry of State Security.

Chinese officials have characterized the arrests as a criminal matter, rather than state-sponsored, and told their American counterparts that the individuals will be prosecuted, said U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

My Opinion
  1. China tries to dodge the national crime by treating it as an individual crime. China can continue the crime all the time this way.
  2. If the individuals were indeed the hackers, China would announce the names of the criminals and how they performed the crime in detail.

Following U.S. indictments, China shifts commercial hacking away from military to civilian agency
  (U.S. ・Washington Post)  (November 30, 2015)

The Chinese military scaled back its cybertheft of U.S. commercial secrets in the wake of Justice Department indictments of five officers, and the surprising drawdown shows that the law enforcement action had a more significant impact than is commonly assumed, current and former U.S. officials said.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has not substantially reengaged in commercial cyberespionage since then-Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced charges against the officers in May 2014, the officials said.

It is still unclear, however, whether President Xi Jinping will be able to deliver on a September pledge to President Obama that China would not conduct economic spying in cyberspace to benefit its own companies.

As the United States and China prepare for high-level cyber-talks in Washington beginning Tuesday, officials and private-sector analysts say there is evidence that China's civilian spy agency, the Ministry of State Security, continues to conduct significant commercial espionage operations.

Officials at the two-day meeting are expected to discuss how China is following up on Xi's pledge, as well as guidelines for mutual assistance in cyber-investigations.

"The big picture is that from 2014 on, the administration pursued a much more direct and coercive approach with China, and it has produced results over time," said Evan S. Medeiros, a former senior director for Asian affairs on the National Security Council.

In September, during a state visit, Xi Jinping pledged to Obama that China would not conduct economic spying in cyberspace to benefit its own companies.

"China strongly opposes and combats the theft of commercial secrets and other kinds of hacking attacks," Xi said during the state visit.

[ U.S., China vow not to engage in economic cyber espionage ]

The Obama administration said it would continue to monitor China's cyber activities closely and press China to abide by all of its commitments. "We have been clear with the Chinese government that we are watching to ensure their words are matched by actions," said a senior administration official, who, like others, discussed the issue on the condition of anonymity because of its sensitivity.

Most officials say it is still too early to tell whether China is making a true long-term shift or whether the changes are tactical.

"A lot of these things just take time, more time than I think people realize," one U.S. official said.

Both the National Security Agency and the FBI track Chinese cyber-activity, although neither organization has a complete or comprehensive view. The NSA primarily collects data on the threat overseas, and the FBI gathers information through investigations in the United States.

"For a period of time following the indictments, there was a very significant decrease" by the PLA, said a second U.S. official. "And today we are definitely not at the level that we were before the indictments."

The first shot across the bow came not from the U.S. government, but with the February 2013 release of a report by Mandiant, a cyberthreat intelligence firm. That report described in detail how hackers with the Shanghai-based Unit 61398, part of the PLA, conducted a wide-ranging industrial espionage campaign and described its targets, methods and personnel.

Coinciding with the report's publication, the Department of Homeland Security released to U.S. companies a series of Internet protocol addresses associated with the PLA hacking unit and other Chinese groups. The idea was to help firms block malicious activity emanating from China, denying hackers access to company systems.

The Unit 61398 hackers stopped their activity for a while, but other parts of the military continued their operations, and the Shanghai group eventually resumed using other tools, said an intelligence analyst at FireEye, which now owns Mandiant.

[ With a series of major hacks, China builds a database on Americans ]

Nonetheless, the report freed the administration to speak more openly about the Chinese cyber-campaign, as officials could point to the document to buttress their assertions. Obama repeatedly raised the issue with Xi — in Sunnylands, Calif., in June 2013; in St. Petersburg, Russia, in September of that year; and again in The Hague in March 2014.

Then in May 2014, the Justice Department, following a months-long FBI investigation, announced the indictments of five PLA officers on economic espionage charges. One of the accused was a hacker profiled in the Mandiant report — a moon-faced, bespectacled officer named Wang Dong, also known by the online moniker Ugly Gorilla.

"The indictments had an amazing effect in China, more than we could have hoped for," said James A. Lewis, a cyber-policy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The Chinese hated them. They complained about them every time there was a meeting. They said there couldn't be any progress [in cyber-talks, which the Chinese pulled out of] until the indictments were withdrawn and we promised not to do them again."

In the following months, the Chinese military quietly began dismantling its economic espionage apparatus, officials said. PLA leaders, with Xi's approval, reviewed the military's cyber-activities. They cracked down on moonlighters within the PLA who were hacking on the side to sell information to companies, and they attempted to halt collection of data that was not central to the national security mission.

What the change in PLA activity shows is that "China is not this implacable, immovable object," said Rob Knake, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former White House cyber-official. "We can in fact alter the behavior of at least portions of the Chinese government."

In April, Obama signed an executive order establishing the power to impose economic sanctions on individuals and entities that take part in or benefit from illicit cyber-activities such as commercial espionage.

"If the indictments had the effect of getting the PLA to scale down, then sanctions likely will have a wider effect on other Chinese state-sponsored groups," Knake said.

[ U.S. decides against publicly blaming China for data hack ]

Prime among the other government hacking organizations is the Ministry of State Security. The MSS, which also employs elite contractors as hackers, is more skilled than the PLA and better able to hide telltale digital trails, analysts say. It is particularly suited to carry out economic espionage, some say, because it has direct channels to state-owned enterprises.

But it also conducts what might be considered more traditional spying. In fact, some officials and analysts say it is likely that the MSS or contractors working for it were behind intrusions into the Office of Personnel Management last year that compromised the data of 22 million current and former federal employees and their families and friends. Cyberthreat intelligence firms such as ThreatConnect also have documented links between the MSS and the breach into health-care giant Anthem, in which the techniques bore strong similarities to the OPM hacks.

"From what we see, the majority of the intrusions today are coming from sets that we believe are MSS or MSS contractors versus the PLA," said Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder of CrowdStrike, another cybersecurity firm. "That's a shift that's been happening roughly in the last year and a half."

My Opinion
  1. China does not easily give up hacking. It will look for a method that is not found out.

China attacks French newshen for her criticism of Chinese Uygur policy -  Foreign Correspondents' Club of China gives a criticism statement
 (France・Ursula Gauthier)  (Japan・Sankei News)  (China・Global Times)  (November 30, 2015)

The famous television tower in Shanghai was displayed with blue, white and red.

On 29th December Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) in Beijing announced the statement that blamed the Chinese government and the governmental media because they attacked the French newshen of the weekly who wrote a critical article for Chinese Uygur policy.

Her name is Ursula Gauthier. She pointed out that the collision of Uygur and the Chinese authorities was caused by the oppressive policy of the Chinese government for the minority race and it was different from the simultaneous terrorist attacks in Paris.

In contrast, Chinese Communist Party bulletin and governmental "Global Times" criticized the reporter in a real name, "The article distorts the facts". Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the reporter and criticized her too. Messages of the criticism rained upon Chinese newspaper sites and the Social Networking Service (SNS) of the reporter. There were threatening messages such as "I'll kill you".

It also said that the identification of the reporter necessary for year-end visa update had not been issued for the reporter. It said the delay of the identification was a "Chinese threat".


She said, "The violence in Xinjiang is due to the Chinese ruthless suppression that drove young Uighurs into a tight corner. Chinese government overwrites all aspects of the life of the Uighurs: culture, language, religion, access to education, work, or even to a single passport. Recently, it is even heavier."

Some examples of ruthless suppression by Chinese government : 

  1. Traditional Muslims forenames are now prohibited and they must be changed.
  2. The restaurants of Uighur are now required to offer alcohol and cigarettes to their customers.
  3. Public servants are obliged to eat publicly during the Ramadan.
  4. Any bearded is of course suspect of religious extremism, as well as any woman wearing the Islamic headscarf.
  5. And any young person who stopped the tobacco or who refuses to drink a beer is suspected of extremism.

FCCC Statement: Intimidation of Journalist

The FCCC is deeply concerned by the attempts to intimidate one of our members following publication of an article related to terrorism and Xinjiang.

The correspondent of L'Obs, Ursula Gauthier, has been the subject of two inflammatory editorials in the Global Times, attacking her by name. This state-controlled paper then allowed thousands of aggressive and personal attacks on the reporter (including death threats) to be posted in the comments section of their website.

This was followed by an editorial in the China Daily, and an aggressive campaign against Ms Gauthier on several websites linked to the military where her photograph and address were published.

The correspondent was also summoned to the Foreign Ministry where officials forcefully, but unsuccessfully, sought an admission that her article had been wrong.

Receiving criticism is a normal and necessary part of journalistic work, but this is neither proportionate nor reasonable.

The FCCC is also concerned that Ms Gauthier has not yet been issued with a new press card. The FCCC regards any further delay in receiving accreditation as another serious attempt at intimidation.

My Opinion
  1. Beijing proclaimed the solidarity with France. But China requests the same international supports to merciless oppression of the Muslim minority Uighur in China. She only wrote the facts.
  2. Government criticism is a crime in China. Because the Communist Party is the first, what the Communist Party says is truth. Therefore, any opinion different from the claim of the Communist Party is not permitted.
  3. Both the international law and the human rights have nothing to do with China.

Chinese tourists have the money, but not the manners
 (Hong Kong・South China Morning Post)

When a busload of Chinese tourists took a break at a highway toll station near Frankfurt, Germany, on an autumn afternoon in October, their translator and guide Linda Li told her charges they could use the toilet for €0.7 (HK$6.62).

Many were on their first overseas trip and grumbled that back home in China pay-to-use toilets cost only 0.5 yuan (HK$0.63). Several of the men decided not go to the loo. Instead, they walked to an open spot to relieve themselves.

Li shook her head and looked away - she had half-expected them to do so because it is common among first-time Chinese travellers.

But what happened next took even her by surprise: a well-dressed middle-aged man followed suit to pee in public.

The incident captured all too acutely the conundrum host countries find themselves in: boorish Chinese tourists bringing them piles of cash but also mountains of problems. The visitors seem to have the means, but not the manners. Locals get upset, facilities get damaged, tempers are frayed, and in many cases other tourists turn tail when they know the Chinese are coming, causing a dent in earnings.

Last year, a 15-year-old Chinese tourist defaced a stone sculpture in a 3,500-year-old Egyptian temple with graffiti, generating a stir worldwide and a backlash at home. Many Chinese cringed at the shame and embarrassment brought on them. The boy's parents later apologised.

Chinese tourists made international headlines yet again this month after four threw hot water and noodles at a Thai flight attendant. They were reportedly angry over their seating arrangements and the lack of receipts for their tickets. The CNTA promptly "blacklisted" the tourists from joining overseas tours offered by Chinese travel agencies.

Even President Xi Jinping weighed in, urging his countrymen to behave overseas. "Do not leave water bottles everywhere. Do not damage coral reefs. Eat less instant noodles and more local seafood," Xi advised during an official visit to the Maldives in September.

In the Indian Ocean island nation, whose economy relies heavily on tourism and which received 332,000 Chinese tourists last year, some luxury resorts last year stopped providing Chinese guests with hot water to stop them skipping meals in favour of cup noodles, triggering anger and calls for a boycott on China's social media.

"Sadly, Xi's speech has made no impact whatsoever on the tourists," said Jenny Wang, a Beijing-based Maldives travel agent. "The good ones are good, but the bad apples remain the same."

She added that many still did not tip, even though they had been advised to do so and told that service workers in the Maldives rely on tips to boost their meagre earnings.

Scholars say courtesy begins at home. "We need to admit that Chinese people are rude abroad because they are rude at home," said Liu Simin, a researcher with the Tourism Research Centre of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

My Opinion
  1. Famous bad manners of Chinese tourists
    • Talking loudly in public places
    • Crossing the streets on red lights
    • Leaving plates of food unfinished in large quantities at a buffet‐style restaurant
    • Going on a spree remaining the door of the guest room open
    • Not following a turn and Cutting into the line
    • Eating foods before paying money in a shop
    • Throwing away garbage anywhere
    • Spitting in public places
    • Letting a child urinate in the washroom of the shop
    • Discarding toilet paper to a trash box without flushing it
    • Not hesitating to step over a rope of No Trespassing (displayed in Chinese) and taking a souvenir picture.
  2. Chinese spend much money all over the world, but troubles caused by them are too numerous to be mentioned. Because the egocentrism is one of Chinese national traits , there is no help for it. They do not change.

China fines five phony Disney hotels - Xinhua
 (China・Xinhua)  (UK・Reuters)  (November 25, 2015)

China fines five phony Disney hotels - Xinhua Nov 25 China has fined five knock-off Disney hotels a combined 100,000 yuan ($15,656) for infringing on the iconic U.S. entertainment company's trademarks, state-run Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday in the run-up to the opening of a Walt Disney Co theme park in Shanghai.

The news comes less than a month after Chinese authorities announced that they would give unprecedented special trademark protection to Disney in a year-long campaign around the park's opening.

The Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce (AIC), a business regulator, found that the hotels were all owned by the Shenzhen Vienna Hotels Group and had used the "Disney" trademark on their signs and websites without authorisation, Xinhua said.

Several calls to the Shenzhen Vienna Hotels Group for a comment were unsuccessful.

China has struggled for years to shake off a reputation for being a source of, and a market for, fakes, from replica handbags to knock-off cars.

My Opinion
  1. China cracked down on knock-off hotels because of Disney. But it is difficult to act in the same way for other fakes. There are too many fakes.

Fake Chinese bubble tea pearls made from old tyres
 (China・Qiluwang)  (USA・The Open Mind)  (October 19, 2015)

Boba tea (also called pearl tea, or bubble tea) is a sweet drink that combines milk, flavored tea and tapioca pearls that are sucked up through an extra large straw and chewed. A recent investigative report in China found allegations that some of the country's boba may contain leather and rubber. In package for lifestyle programme “Life Help,” a reporter in Qingdao drinks a pearl milk tea from a local shop and then goes a nearby hospital to undergo a CT scan. The scan showed a stomachful of undigested tapioca pearls.

Undercover interviews with local boba tea shop managers found that they also seemed unsure of the pearls' actual ingredients. One manager, however, made a stunning accusation that would mean illegality committed on the part of the boba manufacturer if true: “They're all made at chemical plants. To put it bluntly, they're made from the soles of leather shoes and old tires.”

My Opinion
  1. This is usual in China. You don't have to be surprised at the news. You can know the reason that Japanese foods are popular in China.

"It is the worst national humiliations for UK to suck up to China!" the former policy adviser to David Cameron said
 (Taiwan・Central News Agency)  (BBC NEWS)  (October 21, 2015)

Steve Hilton, a former policy adviser to David Cameron, told BBC Newsnight the UK should be imposing sanctions on China over issues such as its "vicious political oppression" and its "relentless cyber attacks", instead of "rolling out the red carpet".

"This is one of the worst national humiliations we've seen since we went cap in hand to the IMF in the 1970s," said Mr Hilton, who left Downing Street in 2012.

"The truth is that China is a rogue state just as bad as Russia or Iran, and I just don't understand why we're sucking up to them rather than standing up to them as we should be."

My Opinion
  1. The Chinese strategy is great. But it is difficult to understand the U.K. sucking up to China that ignores Chinese human rights and has been oppressing Tibetan and Uygur.
  2. Did the U.K. sell its soul to China? I do not think that the smart U.K. does such a thing to China that is the American enemy, but ......

China tried to hack U.S. firms even after cyber pact: CrowdStrike
 (US・CrowdStrike, Inc.)  (Reuters)  (October 19, 2015)

Hackers associated with the Chinese government have tried to penetrate at least seven U.S. companies in the three weeks since Washington and Beijing agreed not to spy on each other for commercial reasons, according to a prominent U.S. security firm.

CrowdStrike Inc said software it placed at five U.S. technology and two pharmaceutical companies had detected and rebuffed the attacks, which began on Sept. 26.

On Sept. 25, President Barack Obama said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping had agreed that neither government would knowingly support cyber theft of corporate secrets to support domestic businesses. The agreement stopped short of restricting spying to obtain government secrets, including those held by private contractors.

CrowdStrike Co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch said in an interview that he believed the hackers who attacked the seven companies were affiliated with the Chinese government based in part on the servers and software they used.

The software included a program known as Derusbi, according to Alperovitch. Other analysts have said Derusbi previously turned up in attacks on Virginia defense contractor VAE Inc and health insurer Anthem Inc (ANTM.N). Alperovitch said the hackers came from a variety of groups including one that CrowdStrike had previously named Deep Panda.

The "primary benefits of the intrusion seem clearly aligned to facilitate theft of intellectual property and trade secrets, rather than to conduct traditional, national-security-related intelligence collection," CrowdStrike said in a blog post to be published on Monday.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying repeated that the Chinese government opposed all forms of hacking or stealing commercial secrets.

"Internet hacking attacks are marked by their secretive, cross border nature," she told a daily news briefing on Monday.

CrowdStrike said it had notified the White House of its findings but would not identify the targeted companies.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to comment on CrowdStrike's findings but said that Obama had "made clear that the United States would judge China not based on its words, not based on any verbal commitments, but based on its actions."

"You can rest assured that the relevant agencies in the United States government are closely monitoring China's actions in this regard," Earnest said on Monday.

Another U.S. cyber security company, FireEye Inc (FEYE.O), said the state-sponsored Chinese hackers that it monitored were still active but it was too soon to say whether their aims had shifted.

"It is premature to conclude that activity during this short time frame constitutes economic espionage," FireEye spokesman Vitor De Souza said.

Shortly before Xi's trip to the United States last month, Chinese officials told their American counterparts that Beijing had detained at least two hackers who breached U.S. computer networks, according to Jim Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and two other sources close to the Obama administration.

The arrests were reported by the Washington Post a week ago, though the paper gave no names or other details.

China said it believed one of the suspects was involved in the data breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, according to Lewis and one of the sources. The OPM hack had compromised the data of 21.5 million government workers.

The other person who was detained by Beijing was suspected of hacking for commercial gain, said Lewis and the other source.

My Opinion
  1. It is normal in China that the promise is not often kept. Even if evidence is shown, you can deceive it in China. They never apologize. It is only those in power that can check injustice there.
  2. China does anything China wants to do. Because there is no police supervising the crime by the country, China can do as China pleases.

It's the fruit of the moral education. The Japanese do not pocket lost articles.
 (China・People network Japanese edition)  (March 13, 2013)

When Japanese talk about the peace and order of Japan, they boast and say "We do not close the entrance at night. We do not pocket a lost article which we picked up on a road". Generally speaking, even if you drop and lose something in Japan, they do not carry it away and steal it. Most of Japanese are not interested in a lost article of other persons, and far from stealing it, they send it to a police box or the lost article checkroom directly. A reporter of "Life Times" in China wrote that.

One day in 2005, the reporter dropped a wallet carelessly at an Immigration Bureau in Japan. He noticed on the way home and he came back to the Bureau, but he could not find it. However, in the next day he received the news that his wallet was found from the police box. According to the police officer, a man found it at the Bureau on the day before, and brought it to the police box. When he checked the wallet, nothing was changed in it at all. He asked the police officer the phone number of the person of conscience and expressed his thanks on the telephone. He told the person that he wanted to hand the reward, but the person declined it rigidly.

According to the Japanese "Lost Goods Law", the lost article is kept in the police for three months. When the owner does not appear for 3 months, it belongs to the person who picked it up, but it is necessary for the police to show the information of the lost article online. If you make the lost article yours without bringing it to the police, you will be punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than 100, 000 yen. If the lost article returns to the owner, the owner has to hand a reward to the person who picked it up.

The Japanese children receive moral education at the kindergarten. The teachers tell them emphatically and repeatedly, "You must not take the thing which is not yours. You must bring anything that you pick up to a police box without making it yours." In addition, the Japanese think about the money that you can't know the owner with "very dangerous thing" or "things inviting the evil". The Japanese have such a consciousness about a lost article of another person and bring it to the lost article checkroom or the police box without pocketing it.

My Opinion
  1. It is not because Japanese learn moral in the kindergarten that Japanese do not pocket lost articles.
    The writer says "It's the fruit of the moral education", but I don't think so. If so, any country would be the same as Japan, because moral is taught at any school.
    No matter how much you teach morality at school, children do not adhere to moral principles same as adults, if the way of thinking of adults including parents is not moral.
    Therefore, no matter how you tell children that "you must not pocket a lost article", it will be of no effect if the adults do not change.
  2. It is the mental culture that Japanese thoughts are preoccupied with that Japanese do not pocket a lost article. Therefore, it needs long time that such a culture grows up.

Hillary Clinton calls President Xi 'shameless' over women's rights; China, in turn, calls 'prejudice'
 (Japan・NHK News)  (September 29, 2015)

On September 27, Xi Jinping hosted a meeting on women's rights at the UN and acted as chairmanship by himself.

Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized China. Mrs. Clinton posted on Twitter: “Xi hosting a meeting on women's rights at the UN while persecuting feminists? Shameless.”

In March, China detained five women who were protesting sexual harassment in public places. They were released in April, but have said they could still face charges and are subject to surveillance for a year. Police also can bring them in for questioning at any time. The female lawyer in the human rights group is still detained. There is such a problem in the background of the Clinton's criticism.

On Monday, China reacted quickly to Clinton's comments. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said, "China is a law-abiding country, and the citizen's legal rights are guaranteed by law. Everyone in the international community has their own prejudices.", when asked about Clinton's tweet, and added that Beijing hopes others would respect China's judicial sovereignty.

My Opinion
  1. According to the remarks of Chinese government, China seems to be always right. China never admit they are wrong.
  2. They say "China is a law-abiding country." But actually it is completely wrong.

    There is not the independence of the judicial power in China.


    The Supreme court is supervised by the National people's Congress. Furthermore, the Communist Party is on the top.
    Even if the friends of the leader do crimes, they are not arrested, but the political adversaries can be arrested. Because most of the Chinese politicians get bribes, Chinese government can arrest them any time. It is up to the thinking of the Communist Party leader.

  3. The definition of "spy" is written in anti-spy law Article 39 for five clauses in China.
    The fifth clause is
    (5)To do other spyings
    This means "spy is to spy." It doesn't make sense.
    If you say "China is a law-abiding country" in such a state, you will be laughed in the world.

  4. It is clear that there are not human rights in China, if you just see famous "one-child policy" and the fact that they do not have the right to vote.
    For example,
    • In December, 2008, the National people's Congress carried out the fiscal policy for economic stimuli of 4 trillion yuan (approximately 56 trillion yen) in a hurry. It violates the legal procedure to carry out the revised budget that is not included in a budget without passing through approval of National People's Congress.
    • According to Chinese "work contract law", it is written clearly that the company manager cannot cancel the employment agreement with the employee for at least ten years. And it obligates to participate in social security systems such as labor insurance or the unemployment insurance of the employee. However, it really is hardly carried out.

Chinese Senkaku territorial claim collapses again. 
There is no Senkaku islands in the first Chinese modern map "Imperial map of China" made in 17th century.
  (Japan・Sankei Shimbun)  (September 28, 2015)

It became clear that there is no Senkaku islands in the first Chinese modern map "Imperial map of China" that was made by Qing dynasty in the late 1600s after the dynasty incorporated Taiwan into the territory. When the Chinese government insists on legitimacy of the dominium of Senkaku Islands, it has explained, "they have been a part of islands attached to Taiwan".

The Kangxi Emperor(4 May 1654 – 20 December 1722) who was the fourth emperor of the Qing dynasty made a missionary of "Society of Jesus" manufacture the map in 1699. He performed large-scale surveying in the whole land of China and the map was completed in 1717. It was the first modern map in China and it came to be used as the standard afterwards when a map of the whole land of China was made. Taiwan and Pescadores Islands that were incorporated into Fujian in 1683 are on this map, but Senkaku Islands are not included.

The Chinese government has begun to insist on the dominium of Senkaku Islands in the 1970s after the possibility that oil was buried was pointed out.

However, the map that were made by the Chinese government in 1969 and wrote "Senkaku Islands is a territory of Japan" has been already discovered. This discovery is evaluated as "the historic precious document indicating being groundless when the Chinese government insists on the dominium of Senkaku Islands".

My Opinion
  1. Any evidence has nothing to do with Chinese. Any evidence is not necessary for Chinese.
    China never gives up Spratly Islands and Senkaku Islands, because China thinks they should be China territory. Chinese think everything is decided not in reason but by power.

"Outburst of applause" was lie! ?
When Xi Jinping who was the head of People's Republic of China made a speech at United Nations, the place were "full of vacant seats".
 (Hong Kong・Apple Daily)  (September 28, 2015)

Xi made a speech at U. N. Summit on September 26th and announced the large-scale support of developing countries. Though the meeting place was a rattle, the Chinese governmental media talk big saying "he brought down the house".

The major media such as CCTV, Xinhua News Agency and China News Service exaggerated his speech, saying "applause and shouts of joy that were ardent over several degrees" and "the cheers that were greatest at the summit".

On the other hand, Chinese immigrants residing in the United States chilled the speech. Mr. Northwind who had once worked at Chinese media and was an activist in New York put the image of the conference room where Xi made a speech on the net. The picture of CCTV that introduced the speech for approximately ten minutes took only a close‐up of the Chinese delegation and the African certain country delegation except close‐up of Xi. At least two-thirds of the seats were vacant at the time of the speech, and it was far from the full seats at the time of the speech of Pope Francisco. The contrast of both made the Chinese government feel awkward.

Los Angeles Times described "the U.S. side noticed in disappointment that Chinese side was not interested in the relations progress of the two countries at all, but it put weight on the merely ceremonious part and it thought only as clearly propaganda for Chinese."

My Opinion
  1. "Apple Daily" is not seen in China. Unfortunately it is not seen now in Japan either. Publication may be prohibited.
  2. It is natural that the Chinese except Hong Kong cannot see this site, too.

China Korea Basketball Fight! 2015 Friendly Basketball Cup Foshan Long Lions vs Sonic Boom KT
 (Korea・Chosun Ilbo)  (China・Guangzhou newspaper)  (September 3, 2015)

In a Friendly basketball Cup between 2 Chinese teams and 2 Korean teams on August 30, the large scuffle of punching and kicking occurred. The Korean newspaper "Chosun Ilbo" blamed Chinese team saying "the Chinese basketball is the infamous 'Shaolin Soccer'". The Chinese Internet users talked back with "both Korean players and the coaches are famous for much quarrel".

According to the Korean media, the great scuffle got up in the tournament performed in Chinese Guangdong hosted by Samsung Electronics. It says, in the third quarter when the Korean team led in 58-42 a Korean player who tried a shot was held and punched strongly in his face by a Chinese player. It also says, "Triggered by this, members of both teams mingled and a Chinese player added the assault of punching and kicking to the Korean player who fell down".

Some Chinese media say the cause of the disturbance was the psychological warfare and an excessive act by the Korean players.

As for Chinese basketball, the large scuffle that rolled up the audience occurred in China-America friendly game performed in BEIJING OLYMPIC sports center on August 18, 2011. Korean player also poked the chest of a Japanese player in a practice game with Japan and it caused jostles. That became nearly just before a scuffle.

My Opinion
  1. Both a Chinese and a Korean are emotional. They never admit that they are bad and they never apologize and accept the responsibility. They are same at two points.
  2. There is rarely the scuffle in the Japanese games and Chinese and Korean are different from Japanese who apologize immediately.

Swiss resort launches special train for Chinese tourists due to 'cultural differences' (August 30, 2015)
 (The Independent UK)  (Korea・Yonhap News)

A special train for Chinese tourists has been launched at a mountain resort in Switzerland, following tensions over cultural differences.

Swiss newspaper Blick reports that some tourists visiting Mount Rigi in the Swiss Alps have become incensed with Chinese tourists crowding the corridors while taking pictures from the train.

There are also reports of rudeness in packed carriages, and some even say they've seen tourists spit on the floor.

Peter Pfenniger, chief of Rigi Bahnen said the huge influx of visitors from Asia had brought the struggling railway company back on track, but that “their strong presence is a challenge”.

Almost half of the foreign visitors to Mount Rigi are Chinese, following an advertising campaign after the mountain's management entered a partnership with an organisation from Chinese Mount Emei.

To ameliorate tensions, special trains have been created for tourist groups from Asia. Toilets are now cleaned more regularly, and signs have been put up “showing how to use them correctly,” the paper reports.

In September, the company is expected to offer around 20 special trains a week.

Pfeinniger also said Chinese tourists will not be prevented from boarding ordinary trains.

The move has been received poorly in China, with the Global Times newspaper reporting that Chinese 'netizens' have criticised the report, arguing the increased numbers of Asian tourists would help Switzerland's economy.

  My Opinion
  1. Audio description in the Louvre Museum is available in French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese and Korean, but there is no Chinese version (the Louvre Museum). This seems to be because it does not come back when they lend it to Chinese.

Furious Chinese passengers refused to board plane and sang national anthem at Bangkok Airport (September 9, 2015)
 (dailymail)  (China・People's Daily Online)

  • Around 100 Chinese started the uproar after delay by Orient Thai Airlines
  • Passengers demanded public apology and £102 compensation
  • They also requested airline to use a 'larger' plane to fly them home
Chinese passengers break out into national anthem to protest delayed flight at Thai airport(YouTube)

A group of Chinese tourists decided to let out their steam by singing the Chinese national anthem and refusing to board an aircraft in Bangkok last week, after their flight was delayed for over ten hours.
Reports suggest that the Thai authorities detained around 30 of them at Don Mueang International Airport following the protest on September 4, reported People's Daily Online.
The Chinese tourist authorities have also blacklisted 33 of these passengers due to their 'uncivilised behaviour'.
Protest broke out after passengers learned their flight with Orient Thai Airlines, a Bangkok-based budget carrier, had been postponed for nearly 10 hours.
Flight OX670, which travels from Bangkok to Chongqing, south west China, was scheduled for departure at 5:45pm on September 4.
But it was delayed until 3am the following morning due to 'poor weather conditions' and 'aircraft maintenance', according to the airline.
The Thai airline arranged hotel rooms for the stranded passengers.

However, around 100 Chinese passengers refused to accept the compensation terms and started an uproar in the departure hall.
The Chinese passengers put forward three demands: a public apology from the airport, 1,000 Yuan (£102) compensation and a 'bigger', Boeing 747 aircraft to fly them to Chongqing.
A self-proclaimed passenger on the flight posted a video of the protest to Weibo, the Chinese equivalent to Twitter, at about 11pm on Friday. The post was quickly shared by other web users.
The passenger, who used the screen name of 'Royal tractor Sama', wrote: 'The flight is delayed and the Thai airport staff is moving Chinese tourists by force.
'Not only is this disrespectful towards us Chinese tourists, but also disrespectful towards China.'
Chongqing Tourism Bureau is reported to have blacklisted 33 passengers, who refused to board the aircraft, for their 'uncivilised behaviour'.
The ban will prevent them from joining any domestic or international tours in the future.
Chinese internet users are split over the matter.
While some regard it a 'shame on our own people', others sympathised with the passengers, saying they could not solve the problem if they hadn't done anything.
All stranded passengers were flown to Chongqing by 5pm on September 6.
The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) announced in April that the authorities will name and shame the tourists who engage in unruly behaviour while travelling in China and overseas.

My Opinion  
  1. I don't think every Chinese takes such an action, but it is only Chinese who can take that in the world.

Helmet made in Japan vs Made in China ... Russian laughs at the laboratory finding (September 1, 2015)
 (FOCUS-ASIA)  (China・sina Hong Kong)  (Youtube)

Chinese papers reported the animation that showed a Russian compared the strength of a helmet made in Japan with that of China. He compared the damage situation by beating each helmet strongly.

Though he beated the Japanese helmet strongly with an iron bar from the side and from right above, the surface painting came off and a plastic part was only damaged.

On the other hand, when he beat the Chinese helmet from the side, it greatly became dented, and when he beat it from right above, it was broken separately. The photographer of the animation had laughed unintentionally at the breaking into pieces.

 My Opinion  
  1. Benefits are the first for Chinese. Even if the product is bad, it is good if the appearance is the helmet.

China argues, "The U.S. is responsible for the falling stock prices". (August 30, 2015)
(Sankei Shimbun)  (China・The information of the Wall Street)  (China・NetEase Economy)

According to the news of Hong Kong phoenix TV, Yao Yu-dong the director of People's Bank of China (the central bank) Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies emphasized,
"Concern over the possibility of the rise in interest rates by the U. S. Federal Reserve Board (FRB) was a trigger of the falling stock prices situation, and the Chinese monetary policy such as Renminbi devaluation in the middle of August is not related to it at all".

Yao strongly denied the observation of 7% breaking and said, "Consumption and a service industry are continuing firm growth and I'm convinced of 7% growth of China."

Furthermore, state-run Xinhua News Agency delivered a comment, "China achieves responsibility about the measures to stock prices fall. Japan, the United States and Europe should make an effort for the world economy more". The News Agency made the argument and said, "Deterioration cause of the economy which globalization advanced should not be limited to one and two and it is a mistake to make an issue of only China".

Renmin Ribao (newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party) or the economic specialized net media began claims simultaneously. They say, "China is unrelated to world simultaneous falling stock prices", "The Western world is too pessimistic for the China's economy".

Most of less than 100 million individual investors suffered damage from stock prices fall after the middle of June in China, but there are many investors that risk consciousness to market price is thin, and dissatisfaction may go off accidentally if a fall continues more. Therefore, Xi Jinping might have hurried up "buck-passing" so that the anger of investors did not go to the Chinese government.

 My Opinion  
  1. Chinese never apologize and do not admit their mistakes, even if they think they are bad. They blame other person for anything bad.

Chinese products are turned away from by the visitors ! ? (August 9, 2015)
(China・Instrument Network)  (Seachina)

Various products and techniques such as the high-tech products, various machines and motor parts, the solar and wind power generation products and the electric cars were displayed at the Hannover Messe. The persons concerned of the Chinese companies learned to know the position of the Chinese products in the world and evaluations by overseas people.

The display places of the Chinese products were at the edge of the pavilions and people did not gather. The display booth of each company had a small space. The exhibition booths of the companies of other countries were grand and colorful, and the products displayed there were very fine and the latest. And technical standards were high. The booths of the Chinese companies were small and seemed to be faded. In addition, the products which Chinese companies displayed were old-fashioned, and the technology was low, and the way of the display was unreliable, too".

Companies more than 6, 500 exhibited, and 180, 000 or more visited the exhibition for business talks in the Hannover Messe, but there were few visitors who visited the booths of the Chinese companies and they returned immediately.

In the high-tech and the special technical pavilions, robots and 3D printers equipped with artificial intelligence were displayed, but no Chinese company was seen in the pavilion. Manufacturing industry has been developed in China, and some says the Chinese products are already the most advanced in the world, but why the Chinese high-tech products did not turn up in "the battlefield" ? Is it because Chinese products are the copy of other companies and violate intellectual property rights ?

Most of visitors in the Hannover Messe do not trust Chinese products and are not interested in them. When they found the booth of the Chinese company, they turned on their heels and left. It was good that there are a few visitors who looked at the Chinese products in the booth. When I talked to them, they just laughed and answered nothing.

The Chinese products are treated coldly and are going to be thrown away now. Because the Chinese makers don't have long-term visions and they pursue only short-term profits. In addition, they do not make much of the study, the technique and the talented persons, and they do not have morality, trust and the responsibility, too. Lack of morality and the trust that have been often pointed out in Chinese society is connected for the crisis of the Chinese products in the global market.

My Opinion  
  1. Chinese people want foreign goods of the paper diaper and the milk though they have the Chinese products. They do not trust the Chinese products.

Chinese products are all low-grade! China seems to be able to produce good quality merchandise same as Japan, but it can't. (May 19, 2015) 
(Seachina) (China Guangzhou Net)

The extremely complicated many elements such as "policy", "time accumulation", "the accumulation of the technique", "research and development", etc. bring a difference of the Japanese-Chinese manufacturing industry. It needs not only the cutting-edge machineries but also expert craftsmen to make products of high quality.

The China's economy already overtook Japan on the scale, but its quality is not high and it cannot still break out of the world's factory. Actually, the past leap of the China's economy was made by populousness. The Chinese before and after Chinese economic reform worked desperately for cheap wages to change their living environment. So price competitiveness was high in the manufacturing industry of China. "Made in China" was able to sweep over the world extremely in a short term because there were populousness and the poverty of people in the background.

A change is taking place in factor that has supported competitiveness of the past manufacturing industry in China. Productive population has begun to already decrease in China. Furthermore, the labor market is varying from the buyer's market to the seller's market, and personnel expenses are rising. Sons and daughters of the farmers and factory workers do not want the hardships the generation of their parents had.

"The difference" between Japan and China in the manufacturing industry do not seem to be very big superficially. China seems to be able to produce anything that Japanese makers make, but they are different in the quality. Japanese products are high-quality and Chinese products are lower.

 My Opinion  
  1. This is because the Chinese search for only their own benefits. They are selfish.

A ghost town appears in Australia because of Chinese! ?
・・・・・・They purchase property in an investment purpose. "They do not inhabit, lend and care for it". (July 14, 2015) 
(Seachina) (China Guangzhou Daily)

While Chinese investors purchasing Australian real estate are increasing, most of approximately 4,000 houses which Chinese investors purchased in the past 2 years are left unattended. It is in a situation that the town may become a ghost town.

The property market is brisk in the Australian big cities, and there is much investments from foreign countries, too. On the other hand, even if the Chinese purchases real estate, they only sometimes come to look and the real estate is left unattended in an unoccupied state".

Australian real estate consulting company "MacroPlanDimasi" said, "The Australian real estate which Chinese investors purchase in the next five years will reach 10, 000, but most of them will be unoccupied".

The number of unoccupied houses continues increasing at the same time as the real estate investments by the foreign investors increase in Australia. Most of foreign investors don't purchase real estate to live in Australia, but they are waiting a rise in price to get profit on sales without leasing the estate.

A person living in the neighborhood of the house which a Chinese purchased said,
"Chinese may be waiting a rise in price, but a weed grows because nobody manages the house, and the value may fall down adversely."
"Unoccupied houses have been increasing since the property market became brisk in about 2013".

 My Opinion  
  1. The Chinese cause problems in both Canada and Australia. This is because the Chinese search for only their own benefits.

Chinese immigrants are increasing rapidly in Canada. (July 11, 2015) 
(NHK NEWS)

In late years immigrants from China increase rapidly in Canada. 47% of inhabitants are immigrants from China in Richmond that is adjacent to Vancouver in western part of Canada.

Immigrants from China perform Tai chi chuan at the shopping center in the town.

There are many signboards written in Chinese in the town. Most of the buildings under construction are for Chinese. Some board schools teach Chinese in addition to English and French that are the official languages.

Why did immigrants from China increase in Canada? There was "The Immigrant Investor Program" in the background. The Canadian Government had given right of permanent residence for the foreigners who had assets of CAD$1, 600,000 and invested CAD$800,000 in Canada. It had an aim to make domestic economy revitalize by calling in the foreign wealthy. It was Chinese wealthy to have used this Program.

There are Chinese newspapers in the counter in the supermarket. The shops which squeeze a target to Chinese customers and support only in Chinese are increasing. Furthermore, handbills and the advertisements are written in Chinese, too.

The Canadians who do not understand Chinese feel incommodiousness and sense of estrangement, though they live in their own country Canada. In this situation the community may break up.

Canada is a country which has developed by accepting many immigrants. How can Canada keep the unity as the society and the identity of the country while respecting variety? A difficult problem appears.

The Canadian Government canceled and largely reviewed the program to accept immigrants subject to investment last year (2014), while immigrants from China had been drastically increasing. The Canadian Government explained, "Because economic effect was not enhanced as expected". The Chinese gives a muttering. "It is the measures to suppress the immigrants from China."

 My Opinion  
  1. One-fifth of the world population is Chinese. "Chinese who does not think about neighboring people spreads all over the world" means "Troubles spread all over the world".

China reported a remark of Hayao Miyazaki, ... But China hid a part of the news "expansion of China" (Seachina) (China News Service)

On July 13 Chinese state China News Service conveyed the press conference that Hayao Miyazaki the animated cartoon supervision went for in Tokyo on the same day. It seemed to be the claim that the Chinese authorities welcomed, but some nuances were changed subtly.

It introduced that Miyazaki took office as the Gesamtvertretung of "the Henoko fund" against the move of Futenma base. It reported, "Most of the citizens in Okinawa prefecture want to remove the base" as the remark of Miyazaki.

Furthermore Miyazaki said, "It is impossible to stop the expansion of China with the armaments. It needs a different method". The expression of "the expansion" means his recognition that "the status quo change of China is causing problems".

But China News Service reported, "It is impossible to stop China with the armaments. It needs a different method". It cut the part of "the expansion of China".

◆Explanation◆  

  1. The Chinese media tends to report overseas movement in line with the claim of China willingly.
  2. The Chinese authorities resist the diplomacy and military affairs policy of the Abe Administration. Emphasizing that "the well-known person like Miyazaki is against the policy of Prime Minister Abe too" has the effect to raise the image that "Chinese claim is right" for the Chinese people.
  3. But they might have judged that it was inconvenient to convey "He spoke assuming China expanding" in the background of the nuance change.

 My Opinion  
  1. It is usual for Chinese newspaper to change news to Chinese own advantage.

U.S. Condemns Detention of Human Rights Defenders in China (July 13, 2015)  (the guardian)

More than 100 human rights lawyers and activists have been detained or questioned by Chinese police and denounced in state media as a “criminal gang” in recent days, raising fears of an unprecedented crackdown by the Chinese authorities.

The US State Department condemned the detentions and said it was concerned that the new national security law was being used as a “facade to commit human rights abuses”. It called on China to “respect the rights of all its citizens and to release all those who have recently been detained for seeking to protect the rights of Chinese citizens”.

A protest outside the Chinese consulate in San Francisco
 My Opinion  
  1. Even if the United States criticizes China, it's none of Chinese business. Chinese does not have the human rights. Anything bad for the government is forbidden.

Soaring Vancouver home prices spur anger toward foreign buyers (July 10, 2015) 
(China・参考消息網) (Reuter)

Vancouver housing prices climbs, driven in part by Chinese investment. Anti-Chinese sentiment is increasing. "People here are getting angry."

"Average, hardworking Canadian residents are being forced to compete for housing with the global wealthy," said Xia, who immigrated to Canada from China as child. The her tweet went viral, and hundreds of other young Vancouver residents soon began expressing their own frustrations in tweets about the red hot housing market - and the feverish foreign investment they believe has fueled it.

That anger has contributed to a simmering xenophobia or Anti-Chinese sentiment in Vancouver, a multicultural coastal city long known for its inclusiveness.

That has residents like Xia pressing the government to track international buyers, scrutinize the source of their funds and tax property speculation, before the anti-Chinese sentiment gets out of hand.

Last summer, a small anti-immigration group covered up Chinese symbols on real estate signs in the affluent suburb of West Vancouver with stickers reading "Please Respect Canada's Official Languages." And police are investigating incidents on neighboring Vancouver Island, where anti-Chinese pamphlets appeared in affluent neighborhoods and signs for Chinese real estate agents were defaced with racial epithets and messages like "Go home" and "Not welcome".

 My Opinion  
  1. China is the country of "egocentrism". Even if another person is troubled, it does not matter for Chinese basically.

Japanese Prime Minister Abe said, "The help by China is African putrefactive hotbeds" (June 28, 2015)  (Sankei Shimbun)

  • The perspective of the details of the discussion of G7 meeting that had opened in Schloss Elmau in southern Germany on June 7th and 8th became clear by the testimony of the plural government people concerned on June 28.

  • "Is the help by China in Africa really useful for African people?"
    When the putrefactive problem rose in a topic as a factor to block world economic growth while each leader talked about the growth strategy of the own country, Prime Minister Abe pointed it out in this way.
    "China is the putrefactive hotbed in Africa and Asia. Do you know the problem that bribes are given to the officials of the developing countries by China?
    Even if we G7 get economic profits, we must not close our eyes."

  • The argument advanced successively to the Asian infrastructure investment bank (AIIB) which China leads.
    After the prime minister explained "Japan did not become the member because we thought that AIIB's governance of the prevention of corruption was insufficient", he began the story that there was not in his documents.

  • "China loaned money to the Philippines though the Philippines said 'It is not necessary for us.' When the trouble happened in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines, China said to the Philippines, 'Return money immediately'".

  • "Though everybody said 'Making dam in the mountain in Myanmar was impossible because it was the difficult construction', China loaned money to Myanmar by force, but after all the construction stopped in the middle of the construction."

  • He submitted a problem about AIIB and said "AIIB might not make an examination of the loan properly and might not consider environment and human rights".

  • Some leaders who already participated in AIIB explained "Our country was sitting on the fence".
    German Prime Minister Merkel who is the chairperson grumbled, "Japan, the United States and Canada in G7 did not participate in AIIB, but we did".

  • Prime Minister Abe ceased his comment here and suggested "The country which participated in AIIB has the reason. Both of the inside countries and the outside countries of AIIB had better correct the governance of AIIB properly".
    The European leaders saved their faces, and agreed.
 My Opinion  
  1. Because the East Asia is far from Europe, the European leaders don't have much interest in the East Asia and do not know the facts. It is important to tell the facts to the world.

Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou administration shifts to "Anti-Japan"? (June 28, 2015)  (Sankei Shimbun)

  • Ma Ying-jeou administration in Taiwan defines this year as "the anti-Japan war victory 70th anniversary" and proposes various events.
    The authority explains, "We propose various events, because we want to inform that it was not the Chinese Communist Party but the Republic of China to have led war".

  • The Department of Defense will perform a commemorative military parade in the army bases of the northern part, the Xinzhu prefecture on July 4.
    They are planning 16 events including the symposium on July 7 when the Lukouchiao Incident that was the beginning of the Japan-China War occurred and the memory meeting on "Taiwan anniversary of the birth" on October 25 when the surrender ceremony of the former Japan forces were performed.
    On June 23 "The central bank" announced the commemorative medals are published.

  • The President Ma has participated in events positively until now.
    On June 3, he emphasized contribution of the Republic of China to overall World War II in TV discussion of the U. S. Stanford Univ. sponsorship and said "the Republic of China enabled the counterattack in other battlefields by having stuck the Japanese military on Mainland China." Then he expressed "Nanking Massacre" with the word "rape of Nanking" in English. On the same day he announced the first establishment of "comfort women memorial hall" in Taiwan in an academic panel discussion.

  • "The Interchange Association, Japan" that serves as the representative office of Japan in Taiwan looks puzzled and shows discomfort to the behavior of the President Ma who seems to shift to "Anti-Japan".
    Taiwan was under rule of Japan at the time of the former War, and the conscription system was enforced at the end of the War, and there were many dead and injured of the private citizens by the aerial bombardment of the United States Armed Forces, too.
    A well-known political observer spoke in a TV program, "Have the people in celebration of resistance victory thought about the feeling of the persons like my father who was a Japanese soldier then" and it has a big impact on Taiwan.

  • "Mainlander" that means people who emigrated to after the war from Mainland China and the descendants occupies only for over 10% of the population. The President Ma belongs to this group, too.
 My Opinion  
  1. History of Taiwan (wikipedia)
    1. Qing dynasty rule(1683 - 1895)
    2. Japanese rule(1895 - 1945)
    3. Republic of China rule (ROC)(1945 - )
      • In 1945 after World War II, troop of the Republic of China(the Kuomintang) came to Taiwan and took Japan's place.
        The Kuomintang (KMT) administration on Taiwan was repressive and extremely corrupt compared with the previous Japanese rule, leading to local discontent. Anti-mainlander violence flared on February 28, 1947, prompted by an incident in which a cigarette seller was injured and a passerby was indiscriminately shot dead by Nationalist authorities. During the ensuing crackdown by the KMT administration in what became known as the 228 Incident, tens of thousands of people were killed, and the incident became a taboo topic of discussion for the entire martial law era.
      • When the civil war in China ended in 1949, 2 million refugees, predominantly from the Nationalist government, military, and business community, fled to Taiwan.
        There were intolerable things such as the seizures of the soldiers of KMT and the corruption of the public employees. The Taiwanese began to be disappointed in a new ruler and came to grieve and said "dog passed, and pig came". It means that even if the Japanese barked noisily, it was helpful as a watchdog, but the Chinese is greedy and dirty.
  2. For such history of Taiwan, there are many people evaluating the era of Japanese rule that kept cleanliness and order, and the the atmosphere of Anti-Japan is rare in Taiwan.
    The President Ma wants to strengthen support to KMT. Therefore it is necessary for him to lower the evaluation of the era of Japanese rule, and to erase the image of the misgovernment of KMT.
  3. The President Ma may want to merge Taiwan to China.

U.S. intelligence chief: China top suspect in hack of U.S. agency: WSJ (June 26, 2015)  (REUTERS)

  • The United States' intelligence chief said on Thursday that China was the top suspect in a hack of a U.S. agency that compromised the personnel records of millions of Americans, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

    The plural american main media have reported "Chinese crimes" as a story of the administration official, but the Chinese government denies that definitely.

    "You have to kind of salute the Chinese for what they did," given the difficulty of the intrusion, the Journal quoted Clapper as saying at a Washington intelligence conference.
 My Opinion  
  1. Even if any evidence is shown, China does not accept hacking. It is the same as China insists Senkaku Islands are China territory in spite of any evidences that show they are the Japan territory.
    Chinese never apologize and do not admit their mistakes.

"Senkaku Islands are Japan territory" --- European maps deny Chinese claim (June 24, 2015)  (MNS News)

  • It became clear that two maps made in U. K. and Germany in the late 19th century existed. They wrote "Senkaku Islands (Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa) are Japan territory.
    Both are the maps before the Sino-Japanese War (1894 through 95). That overturns Chinese claim that "Japan took Senkaku through Sino-Japanese War" again.

  • The maps were investigated and discovered by associate professor Nozomu Ishii (history of Senkaku) of Nagasaki Junshin Catholic University.
    They are "London atlas" which the world's largest "Stanford map shops" (the U. K.) published in 1887 and "Hand atlas" which the German mapping authority Adolf Stieler produced in 1868.

  • Associate Professor Ishii found 1887 edition "London atlas" from the documents which National Library of Australia digitized in last July and checked what happened to territory notation around Senkaku.

  • As a result, he found dotted line was drawn in the west of "Hoapin-su" that meant Kuba island of Senkaku Islands.
    After he checked other documents for approximately one year, it became clear the dotted line showed the border of a territory and territorial waters and the map recognized Kuba island was Japan territory.

  • In addition, on the map "Hand atlas" in 1868, a line was drawn to the west of Kuba island, and Senkaku Islands were painted in the same color as Okinawa before the Ryukyu merger.
    This map is possessed in the Tokyo University synthesis library.

  • The Japanese government carefully confirmed that Senkaku Islands were not under the rule of any countries including China for ten years since 1885, and Japan adopted admission of Senkaku Islands to Okinawa at the Cabinet meeting in January, 1895 during Sino-Japanese War.

  • On the other hand, China insist, "Japan stole Senkaku Islands in the case of aggression in Taiwan".
    In other words, China insists Senkaku Islands was ceded to Japan with Taiwan by peace treaty "Shimonoseki Treaty" (the April 17, 1895) after the Sino-Japanese War as the islands attached to Taiwan which China possessed.

  • The maps which associate Professor Ishii discovered this time shows that Senkaku Islands were not under the rule of China before the Sino-Japanese War and the Europe Great Powers had the recognition that islands were Japan territory regardless of cabinet decision of the Japanese Government. They deny Chinese claim.

  • The map of the British Stanford map shop which judged Senkaku Islands to be Japan territory is considered to have depended on the investigation of the British navy that had the highest voyage technology and the intelligence network to each country's service in those days.

  • Senkaku Islands were on the sea route which bound Hong Kong and Port Hamilton in the offing in southern Korean Peninsula which were the U. K. territory together then. The route was important for the British navy.

  • Associate Professor Ishii said "It was a important information for the U. K. to ensure the security of the navigation which country the island of the peripheral sea area belonged to. The map supplier got the latest information from the local newspaper and made the map. It shows at least that there was the international recognition that the Japanese control extended to Senkaku Islands."

  • Among the experts of the world map, the map of Stanford is evaluated to be the map which reflected territory relations in those days relatively exactly, because it was published in the British Empire which was the marine nation.
 My Opinion  
  1. Any evidence has nothing to do with China. China never gives up Spratly Islands and Senkaku Islands, because China thinks they should be China territory. Chinese think everything is decided not in reason but by power.

The Chinese embassy staff said "African countries are underdeveloped countries"・・・Chinese in defiance of a smoking rule made fights with police officers in Madagascar (Jun 19, 2015) 

(msn News)
(China・参考消息網)
(China・Netease International News)
  •  A "scuffle" case between the Chinese travelers and police force happened for "the Chinese smoking in the non-smoking area" in Ivato Airport of the Republic of Madagascar. The staff of local Chinese embassy said the cause of the case was the confusion in the airport which had bad infrastructure maintenance and bad efficiency.

     Because a large-scale delay and lack service occurred by a strike of the Madagascar airline, the Chinese travelers were stranded for a long time.
    Because some Chinese travelers smoked in the waiting room which was smoking cessation, a scuffle occurred between the Chinese and the police officers who warned them.

     A staff of Chinese embassy said about the case, "some African nations have undeveloped infrastructure maintenance and the inefficient work. Therefore problems may occur". And he said, "In the case of this situation, Chinese tourists should claim their thinking legally and reasonably. When a local government invaded the legal rights and interests of the Chinese tourists, our embassy supported our tourists promptly by all means".

     The airport police chief said, "The Chinese passengers smoking in non-smoking areas have violated relevant laws of Madagascar. The police must enforce the law, otherwise it is dereliction of duty."

    **********
    ◆Commentary◆ Because the Chinese who go to Africa in business and a trip have increased, the Chinesephobia is increasing there.
     It is getting to become the problem that Chinese show the manner to look down on the local persons and some Chinese do business such as fraud.
 My Opinion  
  1. Chinese show the manner to look down on the local persons. China says undeveloped Madagascar is wrong. China never admit they are wrong.
  2. The African people will know such Chinese national traits. And the Chinesephobia will increase.
  3. The governments of the African countries will not say dissatisfaction to China, because they can get money from China.

G7 says concerned about tensions in the East and South China Seas (Jun 8, 2015)  (Reuters)

  • The leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) nations said on Monday they were concerned about tensions in the East and South China Seas and called for countries to abide by international law.
    "We underline the importance of peaceful dispute settlement as well as free and unimpeded lawful use of the world's oceans," they said in a communique.
    China claims most of the South China Sea, while the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also have overlapping claims.
    "We strongly oppose the use of intimidation, coercion or force, as well as any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo, such as large-scale land reclamation," the G7 leaders said, without naming countries.
    China has been criticised for extensive reclamation work and moves to turn submerged rocks into man-made structures.

  • Hong Lei, the vice-news chief of the bureau of Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs resisted G7 at the press conference on 8 June, saying "the construction in a part of Spratly islands is within the Chinese sovereignty and the other countries do not have the right to interfere".
Taiwan Coast Guard patrol ships and helicopters from National Airborne Service Corps are seen during a drill held about 4 nautical miles out of the port of Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, June 6, 2015.
 My Opinion  
  1. It is usual that China repelled. China never admit they are wrong.
  2. Spratly Islands are considerably far from mainland China. The Philippines is very near them, but they are China territory if China says so. Because China is always right for China.
  3. Whether right or wrong what China says, nobody can stop China.
  4. China does anything for profits.

Indonesia gripped by plastic rice scare (May 26, 2015)(Straits times)

  • A SCARE over rice contaminated with plastic grains has gripped Indonesia as officials in provinces from Aceh to South Sulawesi and across populous Java conduct checks on rice samples, prompting President Joko Widodo to call for calm.
    "The rice samples are being tested (in the laboratories). So, before the results are out, let's not amplify the issue," he told reporters during a visit to his hometown of Solo over the weekend.
    "The most important thing is, what is the root cause of this? We need a thorough check. Is it only in Bekasi or elsewhere? What is the motivation?" he added.
  • He was referring to rice samples that were collected from a stallholder in Bekasi, a west Java satellite town on the eastern outskirts of Jakarta, and then tested.
    One lab test showed traces of the synthetic plastic polymer, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is used to make a wide range of products, including bottles and pipes.
    The stallholder had suspected something was amiss when she and her customers suffered an upset stomach and giddiness.
    In another case, this time in Medan, North Sumatra, a girl fell ill after she reportedly ate rice that contained the plastic.
  • Indonesia boasts the world's largest per capita rice consumption at 140kg of rice per person per year.
    Although Mr Joko is aiming for self-sufficiency in rice, South- east Asia's largest economy is unable to produce enough of it to feed its 250 million-strong population. It could be forced to consider importing more rice instead.
    Indonesia imports rice mainly from Thailand and Vietnam, but following regional scares over rice contaminated with plastic rice believed to be from China, some politicians are now urging the people to consume local rice while the authorities scramble to trace the source of the contamination.
    "My message is to love your local products, because if it is from our farmers, you don't need to worry," Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman told reporters.
    Questions are being raised over how stringent the checks are for imported rice.
  • In a sign of urgency in tackling the case and stemming widespread panic, Trade Minister Rachmat Gobel held a closed-door meeting yesterday with the police.
    Police chief Badrodin Haiti had said he would charge anyone found to have knowingly distributed contaminated rice.
    Earlier, Mr Rachmat said he had conveyed his concern to China's deputy commerce minister when they met on Sunday at an Apec-related meeting held in the Philippines.
    Yesterday, the Indonesian Parliament also discussed the formation of a special team to oversee the case.
    The Home Affairs Ministry has jumped into the fray, going as far as to suggest sabotage.
    "The synthetic rice distributor also has a political motive. He or she may be making an attempt at treason or trying to sabotage the government," Home Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo was quoted as telling Kompas daily on a work trip in Central Java.
  • In the meantime, rice sellers in a market in east Jakarta told The Straits Times that they have seen sales fall by up to 20 per cent.
    "I have not seen some regulars for a few days and I have been telling buyers there is no plastic in our rice," said Mr Didit, 53, The vendor, who has been selling rice there for the past 18 years, said he was not too worried because there was a similar rice scare three years ago but it died down after a few weeks.
    Housewife Suriarti Desi, 37, said she was concerned but would eat rice bought from only the sources she trusted.
  • In Singapore, a spokesman for the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority told The Straits Times last week that imported rice is regularly inspected and samples are tested to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
    "Our sampling tests cover a wide range of food-borne hazards. Thus far, the testing results have been satisfactory. We have not received any feedback on fake rice," the spokesman added.
 My Opinion
  1. On June 3, plastic rice was found in the rice which Nanjing citizen bought in a supermarket.
  2. According to the rumor, the false rice was exported to India, Indonesia and Vietnam.

China cautions U.S. Navy on patrols in South China Sea (May 14, 2015)(CNN)

  1. Washington (CNN) - The U.S. is considering deploying aircraft and ships to contest Chinese claims to disputed islands in the South China Sea, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
    Options are on the table to fly surveillance aircraft and sail Navy ships nearby in a move that puts the U.S. directly into a contentious territorial contest in East Asia, in which, until now, the U.S. has avoided overtly taking sides.
    The South China Sea is the subject of numerous rival -- often messy -- territorial claims, with China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam disputing sovereignty of several island chains and nearby waters.
  2. China on Wednesday cautioned the U.S. against taking any actions that might be considered provocative, according to a report from the state-run Xinhua news service.
    While Beijing supports freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, the U.S. must be careful in how it uses that right, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in the report.
    "Freedom of navigation does not give one country's military aircraft and ships free access to another country's territorial waters and airspace," Hua is quoted as saying in the Xinhua report.
  3. A U.S. Navy statement Wednesday said the littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth arrived for resupply in the Philippines after completing a weeklong patrol in the South China Sea that took it near the disputed Spratly Islands.
    The Navy said it was the first time an LCS, one of the newest vessels in the U.S. fleet, had operated in international waters near the islands. The Spratlys have been claimed in whole or in part by China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia, according to the U.S. State Department.
    "As part of our strategic rebalance to bring our newest and most capable Navy platforms to the Indo-Asia-Pacific, (the LCSs have) a regular presence in Southeast Asia. Routine operations like the one Fort Worth just completed in the South China Sea will be the new normal as we welcome four LCSs to the region in the coming years," Capt. Fred Kacher, commodore of the Navy's Destroyer Squadron 7, said in the Navy release.
    The Navy said the Fort Worth came across "multiple" Chinese warships during its patrol. A photo released by the Navy showed the Fort Worth being trailed by a Chinese guided-missile frigate, the Yancheng.
    "Our interactions with Chinese ships continue to be professional," the commander of the Fort Worth, Cmdr. Matt Kawas, said in the statement.
    China building 'Great Wall of Sand' in South China Sea 02:12

    Kawas said his vessel followed the international Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea to "clarify intentions and prevent miscommunication" with the Chinese ships.
    Tensions over the Spratlys have increased in recent months as China has built facilities on five reclaimed-land sites in the islands, including a 10,000-foot (3,050-meter) airstrip.
    James Hardy, editor of Jane's Asia Pacific, told CNN in February that China was executing "a methodical, well-planned campaign to create a chain of air and sea capable fortresses across the center of the Spratly Islands chain."
    The disputed areas in the islands include fertile fishing grounds and potentially rich reserves of undersea natural resources.

 My Opinion  
  1. Even if Spratly Islands are far from China distantly, is it China territory? It's as same as Russia would say the Baltic Sea was Russian territory. It's as same as USA would say the Caribbean Sea was USA's territory.
  2. Timothy Keating, the former Commander of United States Pacific Command gave a testimony at the U. S. Senate Committee on Armed Services held on March 11, 2008.
    He revealed that he had been suggested "to divide the Pacific into the east and west in Hawaii and to manage them with U. S. and China separately" by a Chinese official at the time of his visit to China in May, 2007.
  3. The world might not be able to stop Chinese hegemony.

Cybercrime (March 4, 2015) (NHK "Today's Close-up")

 In 2014, 20 Chinese were arrested in Japan. They drew money remitted illegally in ATM.
     
  The Chinese principal offender sent a virus to the computers of the Japanese victims from China and remitted to other accounts.   The cards they used for the withdrawal of cash had been covered in magazines and sent by international mail from China.   The principal offender let the Chinese students in Japan take out cash. The amount of damage amounted to approximately 800 million yen.
 
 The Metropolitan Police Department asked the Chinese police office for cooperation to the investigation, but there is no answer to date.
 Many computer viruses have been sent from China, but it is difficult to prevent that.
 The Metropolitan Police Department says, "if the criminal were in Japan, we could investigate that, but we can do nothing because the criminal is in China.
 My Opinion
  1. Unfortunately the Chinese police do not have ability to catch the criminals or a will to catch them.

Chinese are No.1 in visitors crime in Japan  Japanese National Police Agency Criminal Affairs Bureau publicized.(March, 2013)

  1. 6,483 cases (42.2% of composition ratios) are by Chinese and 3,719 criminals (40.6%) are Chinese. Such situation continues all the time.
  2. As for the number of people to visit Japan, China was the third place.
    ※"China" does not include "Taiwan" and "Hong Kong".
    ※"Foreign visitors" don't include so-called fixation residents.
  3. The number of Taiwanese people to visit Japan is the first place, but there is little number of their crimes.
 My Opinion
  1. Though the number of people to visit Japan is the third place, the number of crimes is the first place predominantly. You cannot but say that Chinese probability to perform crimes is high.
  2. Chinese tend to do anything for money such as coral poaching, counterfeits and so on.
  3. That is one of reasons there are many Japanese who do not like China, but who like Taiwan.
  4. There are many crimes of Brazilian, Vietnamese and Filipinos for the number of people who came to Japan.

Submergence ship left one month, Chinese shipowner does not turn up (January 26, 2015)(Yahoo news)

  1. On December 26, 2014, cargo boat "MINGGUANG" (1, 915 tons) sank off Aomori prefecture in Japan.
    The submergence ship obstacles to the bottom trawling. The spillage continues.
    But the Chinese shipowner declared that he wouldn't do the withdrawal of the ship, because it took a vast cost.
    As the Chinese captain and the chief engineer do not have licence of steerage, they can not get the insurance to handle spillage oil either.
    According to the past investigation, the oil slick of the submergence sea area opens to up to 1,600 meters in length, 200 meters in width.
    Fishermen say "This is the good fishing ground where you can get calamary, cod, anything including the shark. It is severely wounding not to be able to do fishing"
    They wish for the early removal of the ship, prevention of the oil and fishery compensation.
    They were very surprised to hear Chinese not having the license that were required for steerage.
    If they can not get the insurance money, disposal and the fishery compensation of the ship depend on the shipowner.
    The Chinese shipowner did not attend at the meeting of the person concerned.
  2. In March, 2013, Chinese cargo boat "Anfan" ran aground in Fukaura-machi in Japan, but three Chinese shipowners disappeared and the ship is left.
 My Opinion
  1. This is the same as the coral poaching in Japanese territorial waters by Chinese. There are many Chinese who do anything for profits.
  2. Chinese run away, if things are disadvantageous to them. They never apologize and compensate the damage.
  3. They are opposite to Japanese who apologize easily.

Exporting crimes (January 15, 2015)

  1. Two Japanese men were arrested for the import of counterfeit old ten-thousand yen bills (January 15, 2015) (Yahoo news)

    Two Japanese men of the company executive were arrested for the reason of having imported approximately 100 pieces of counterfeit old ten-thousand yen bills from China.
    It is suspected that two men brought in 108 pieces of counterfeit old ten-thousand yen bills from China in about June, 2013.
    According to the police, the counterfeit bill was exhibited at net auction and was found in restaurants and the financial institutions in Osaka and Hyogo.

  2. Three Japanese were arrested on the suspicion of having smuggled dangerous drugs from China. (January 15, 2015) (Yahoo news)

    It is suspected that they smuggled approximately 100 grams of dangerous drugs in October, 2014 from China.
  My Opinion
  1. In China counterfeit ten-thousand yen bills and the dangerous drugs are manufactured to be exported to Japan.
  2. Chinese crimes in Japan stand second after Korean since 1989. Chinese were the top at the number of the arrests of the foreign crime in Japan in 2007.
    A large portion of crimes by immigrants are by Chinese in Japan, and some highly publicized crimes by organized groups of Chinese (often with help of Japanese organized crime) have led to a negative public perception. (Wikipedia)
  3. There are many Chinese who do anything for profits.

Chinese police arrest 110 for selling 'contaminated pork' (January 12, 2015) (BBC News)

  1. They were part of a network which had been buying pigs which died from illnesses from farms at low prices since 2008, the Ministry of Public Security said on Sunday.
    The contaminated meat was sold to markets in 11 provinces.
    The network of 11 groups bribed staff from food supervising authorities to get quarantine certificates, the statement from the ministry said.
  2. Police confiscated more than 1,000 tonnes of the contaminated pork, 48 tonnes of cooking oil processed from the pork and other unclean meats, the ministry said.
  3. China has been hit by various food safety scandals, including tainted baby milk-powder, some involving large multinational such as McDonalds.
  My Opinion
  1. There are many Chinese who do anything for profits.

Chinese Net says Lin Dan is a "Traitor" who contracted with the Japanese maker (January 1, 2015) (Yahoo news)

  1. Chinese Dan(31) concluded the tool use contract with Japanese maker "Yonex". He won gold medals in badminton men's singles at the London Olympic Games 2012 and Beijing Olympic Games 2008 and he has a nickname of "Super Dan".
    On January 7, Lin made a contract with the Yonex overseas executive at the Beijing tech gymnasium where he won a gold medal in Beijing Olympic, and he faced the press conference.
    According to Yonex, Lin said he wanted to use the world top-class product made in Yonex to succeed more by this contract. His hope accorded with the wishes of Yonex that wanted to begin a full-scale advance to China market.
  2. The Chinese media considers the contract to be "the challenge to the system". Criticism that he is a "traitor" occurs successively on the Internet.
    However, he had many tweets from his fans in his Twitter "Bihaku", such as "this is the racial tragedy", "you are spokesmen of the little Japan", "I did not support you" etc.. He had tweets of Yale too, such as "Bear up!" and "I support you".
    They call you "the traitor" when you like Japanese things a little. The anti-Japan sentiment is strong, but many Chinese intellectuals are critical in such a trend.
  My Opinion
  1. I can not understand that though Chinese buys up the paper diaper made in Japan and annoys Japanese and they buy the rice cookers made in Japan in large quantities, they object to Lin Dan using the racket made in Japan.

Coral poaching in Japanese waters by Chinese fishing boats affecting local life

  1. Chinese fishing boats are poaching the precious coral off the coast of Ogasawara Islands and Izu Islands in Japan.
    Garbage considered to have been thrown away by the Chinese fishing boats are found in the sea near Ogasawara Islands.
    They are the empty plastic bottles and the bags of instant noodles. Chinese were written on them.
    They are considered to have been thrown away recently because they are not dirty.
  2. In China, cutting into the line, discharging exhaust gas and discharging industrial wastes into rivers are almost free.
    The Chinese government should make measures, but does nothing.
  3. Japanese are angry at the acts of the Chinese ships, but the Japanese Government cannot do anything.
    Because there are too much number of Chinese ships.
    Chinese government says they are checking poaching ships.
    However, more than 200 Chinese ships are poaching in Japanese territorial waters.
    Chinese poaching never stops.

  4. Chinese poaching fishing boats have come back again to Japanese Islands after the Typhoon.
    ANN News
    "Chinese poaching boats near Ogasawara Islands leave the Japanese territorial waters in the daytime,
    But they approach the islands and continue poaching in the night."
  5. Grobalpost describes a litany of recent complaints about Chinese tourists:
    It says
    ・Reports of children defecating in public pools and urinating in restaurants
    ・Spitting
    ・Littering
    ・Speaking loudly
    ・Ignoring dress codes in Buddhist temples
    ・Jaywalking
    ・Drunken singing
  6. Newswatch says "China: rude, dirty & annoying! "
 My Opinion
  1. China is a really annoying country.
    I want all countries in the world to complain something to China.
  2. Chinese government should clean air.
    Chinese should not throw away garbage into streets, rivers and seas.
    However, unfortunately nobody can stop Chinese.
    China is the country of Communist Party autocracy.
    China can take measures if it intends to do them.
    China does not intend to only do that.
  3. Chinese government could stop poaching of Chinese ships.
    Chinese government says they are stopping poaching, but nothing is changed.
    It is as if Sea of world belongs to China.
    For them, the international law does not have a meaning.

A large quantity of medicines given into Chinese seashore for culture of fishery products
A cause of serious marine pollution - French media - (November 12, 2014) (livedoor news)

  1. On September 10, 2014, French international broadcasting radio station "Radio France Internationale" (RFI) said,
    The situation is up that the prawns are almost annihilated in the shore culture business of China by the influence that various medicines including the antibiotic are given and a food chain dies out
  2. The Chinese government-manufactured media said, "The shore culturing industry of China gives the medicines such as antibiotics in large quantities in the cultivation process for the profit, and the other shore creatures thereby die approximately all out. Various medicines are used to raise a growth rate of a sea cucumber cultivating and restrain ill outbreak in the wide area to reach from Liaotung including the whole Gulf of Bohai to the Shangdong Peninsula.
  3. It becomes the open fact to give a large quantity of medicines for the culture of sea cucumbers and medicines are given to remove other creatures becoming the cultured harm too.
    The quality of the water turns worse and the contaminated water is drained away from the farms directly. That threatens the survival of other fish and birds. Mineral balance of the seawater is lost, and the ecology of the Gulf of Bohai has already fallen into a serious state.
  My Opinion
  1. Chinese do anything for profits. It is good for them to get profit, even if sick persons appear and even if they infringe copyrights.

Language, letters & words

  1. It is a member of the Sino-Tibetan languages that are a family of more than 400 languages spoken in East Asia, Southeast Asia and parts of South Asia. The internal classification of the family is debated. (wikipedia)
  2. Most of terms about science, mathematics and etc. were imported from Japan. Because Japanese translated European terms into Japanese using "Kanji" in "Meiji" period(the 19th century). But most of Chinese don't know the facts.
    Chinese scholar Wang Pingping says 70% of Chinese words in the humanities and science fields are imported from Japan.
    The name of China is "Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo" that means "People's Republic of China". In Meiji period(the 19th century) Japanese translated "people" as "Renmin" and "republic" as "Gongheguo" using "kanji". So most of the name consist of Japanese, but they don't know that either.
  3. Chinese does not have voiced consonants like "b", "d", "g" and "z" sounds.
    Chinese words have the four tones. If a tone is different, it becomes a different word.
    For example "ma" by the first tone means "mother", "ma" by the second tone means "tired", "ma" by the third tone means "horse", and "ma" by the forth tone means "scold".
    As for a song, a meaning changes by the ups and downs of the musical interval and the melody. So flexibility of the composition is limited.
  My Opinion
  1. The simplified Chinese character that simplified the conventional kanji in the 1950s was established. Japanese also simplified the conventional kanji in the 1940s, but the Chinese kanji turns big. I feel slightly disappointing.
  2. Because a large quantity of Western culture flowed into Japan after Japan opened to the world in 1854, it was necessary for Japanese to translate Western words in Japanese.
    Japanese translated Western words into Japanese using "Kanji".
    After the first twenty years of the Meiji Era, the industrial economy expanded rapidly until about 1920 with inputs of advanced Western technology and large private investments.
    As China and Korea tried to learn development of Japan, Japanese words got into China and Korea in large quantities.
  3. The Japanese Zenjie Beijing who mimics Chinese does not pronounce the voiced consonants.

Chinese Temperament

  1. They don't apologize any time, even if they think they are bad.
    Even if poisoned Chinese foods were exported to Japan, milk were adulterated with melamine, and the man who first alerted authorities was murdered, they never apologize for them.
    Chinese government does not accept that Chinese PM2.5 surges against neighboring Korea and Japan and troubles Korea and Japan. Naturally they do not apologize for that.
  2. There is no custom to apologize even if you are late for 30 minutes. And it is no problem if you tell some reason you are late. They speak their thought positively. They often speak loudly as if to quarrel. They strongly insist on their thinking.
    They do not line up in the row.
    Example : Shanghai World Fair Exhibition
    January 1 ,2014 the hot-air balloon which a Chinese got on was missing near Senkaku islands. Japanese patrol boat saved the man and delivered him to a Chinese public vessel.
    But of course China did not say "thank you" to Japan.

    In 2014 at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympic Games, Prime Minister Abe sent applause to the entrance of all teams including the Chinese team.
    In 2014 at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympic Games, when the Japanese team entered, three Chinese TV (CCTV) program commentators began to talk about a topic to have nothing to do with and disregarded the entrance.
    When entrance of Japan was announced, Chairman Xi Jinping looked firm and did not do any motion with putting both hands on his knees.
  3. They think China is a center of the world. "Zhonghua" of "Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo" that is "People's Republic of China" means "center of the world".
    Their leader is not elected by people. He is still an emperor. Separation of powers does not exist in China. Judgments are determined by the emperor. First of all, China tried to have a conversation with the United States to divide the Pacific ocean into two.
  4. Diplomacy
    • Financial contributions to the U.N. of China is below half of Japan. But China acts big and arrogant.
    • When a Chinese ship dashed against the ship of Japan Coast Guard and the captain was arrested by Japan in 2010, China arrested a Japanese businessman who did nothing in China
      and China stopped to sell rare earth elements to Japan.
    • If Tibetans do not obey China, they are killed. China has killed 1 million Tibetans.(Free Tibet)
    • When the United States criticized China, China hinted to sell U.S. national bond. China is a No.1 creditor country for the United States. If China sell the U.S. national bond, the United States will be terribly troubled.
    • They made cyber assaults to the U.S. to get American valuable information.
    • In 2013 it came out that all the inputted text is transmitted to the Chinese server of the company Baidu(Japanese IME) made by Chinese.
      Also Simeji-IME for smart phones made by Chinese transmits information to the server.
  My Opinion
  1. Japanese apologize immediately, but Chinese never apologize. Chinese think that it is your defeat if you apologize.
  2. The word "apologize" seems to be not in Chinese vocabulary like Napoleon Bonaparte said "The word impossible is not in my vocabulary". They don't apologize any time, even if they think they are bad.
    Japanese had thought China had been a country of Confucianism. But that was a misunderstanding.
    Japanese think Confucianism does not remain in China now.
    On the contrary, Confucianism was not established in China from the beginning, even though Confucius preached enthusiastically.
    Because it was in vain to preach to Chinese selfish people.
    People think it remains in Japan now.
  3. China seems to idealize the large empire such as old "Ming" and "Qing".
    So it is the natural movement that China is going to extend the territory and replace USA. It is realistic because the strength of USA is getting weaker and that of China is getting stronger now. So they think the countries of the world should obey China.
  4. China tries to perform diplomacy by the power. They do anything even if it is a lack of common sense from the western viewpoint.
    No matter what happens, they never apologize for that.

The issue of Senkaku Islands & South China Sea

  1. The issue of Senkaku Islands
    • The Japanese Government investigated the islands from 1885 through 1895 and confirmed that it did not belong to neither country including China.
      The Japanese Government adopted the admission of Senkaku Islands to Japan in 1895.
    • Since 1971, Chinese Government has insisted on dominium of the islands.

      There had not been Senkaku Islands in Chinese map of Governmental publishing company until 1971 since the People's Republic of China was formed in 1949.
      They had not thought Senkaku Islands are Chinese territory until 1971. After 1971, they added the islands to the map and changed a boundary line too.
      They had not said anything about that for over 70 years. It is said that their allegation is because of mineral resources near the islands. In 2013 Chinese governmental newspaper "People's Daily" said "Okinawa" belongs to China too.
    • In 1993 Li Peng who was the fourth Premier of China said to the Australian prime minister that Japan would disappear in 20 years. (wikipedia)

    • On September 7, 2010, a Chinese fishing ship intentionally hit the ship of the Japanese Coast Guard near Senkaku Islands. Of course China insisted that Japanese ship hit the Chinese ship.

  2. The issue of South China Sea
    • China insists on the possession of Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands and the sea area.
      Spratly Islands are too far from China and almost in other countries.
      And southern part of the sea area encroaches upon other countries.
    • On May 4, 2014, a Chinese ship intentionally hit the Vietnamese vessel near Paracel Islands in South China Sea. Of course China insisted that Vietnamese ship hit the Chinese ship.
  My Opinion
  1. It is sure that a Chinese ship hit the Japanese ship if you watch the VTR.
    From the character of Japanese, Japanese do not want to hit the Chinese ship and they do not tell a lie while many Japanese watch that.
    The stem of the Chinese ship which was the strong part was damaged and the beam of Japanese ship which was the weak part was damaged.
  2. China insists on the sea area by the reason of the situation in the 13th and the 14th century.
    How egocentric and arrogant!
    It is sure that the Chinese ship hit the Vietnamese ship if you watch the VTR.
    The stem of the Chinese ship which was the strong part was damaged and the beam of Vietnamese vessel which was the weak part was damaged.
    It is sure that China never recognizes its fault.
  3. If the world permitted Chinese illegality, like the appeasement policy that Europe took for Hitler, it will permit that China enlarges their domain and divides the Pacific ocean into two with United States that is the Chinese ultimate goal.
Chinese island chains(wikipedia)




Chinese ultimate goal is to devide the Pacific ocean into two with United States.

Anti-China demonstration in Vietnam & Anti-Japan demonstration in China

  • On May 14, 2014, at least 21 people died of anti-China demonstration in Vietnam. 16 of those were Chinese.
    The Chinese government criticized the Vietnamese government and said,
    "The Vietnamese side should take unavoidable responsibility about the blows, the destructions, the plunders and the arsons carried out to people and the companies of China and other countries.
    We ask the Vietnamese government to take all responsibility, to conduct the thorough investigation and to punish the person concerned severely.
    China showed it was one of causes that the Vietnamese government accepted the demonstration as for damages having been given to the Chinese side.
    And China demanded compensation for damages against Vietnam."
  • On September 11, 2012, when Noda Cabinet of Japan nationalized Senkaku Islands and anti-Japan demonstration occurred in many places in China, the Chinese government criticized the Japanese government and said,
    "Japan is to blame for that matter."
    And the Chinese government showed the posture to accept the demonstration as "outcomes of the patriotism".
    The demonstrations intensified, and destructions and depredations occurred one after another to the Japanese-supermarkets, but the Chinese government did not criticize the demonstrations directly.
    The Chinese side did not compensate the Japanese companies which demand compensation.

  My Opinion
  1. They say Vietnam has responsibility for the Anti-China demonstration and Vietnam should compensate the damages of Chinese.
    According to this reason,
    China has responsibility for the Anti-Japan demonstration and China should compensate the damages of Japanese.
  2. Under any circumstances, they insist that they are always right and the other is bad.
    I have never seen Chinese apologize or accept the responsibility.

An American student's impression (Mainichi Chinese Economy)

  • Chinese students are good at mathematics and they like computer games.

Business

  • They are good at business .They do anything for a profit. They think that you should make a profit even if you use many pesticides.
  • There are many imitations and copies, but they don't think it's extremely bad.




Patriotism & Anti-Japan

  • Education to bring up patriotism is provided since they are small. They are taught Japanese are the worst people in the world.

  • They have a look around the building for Nanking Massacre and critisize Nanking Massacre by Japanese (Its exact scale is not clear). They don't know the building was made by Japanese request and money.
  • From 1979 to the present, Japan has provided a Chinese highway, education, the prevention from desertification, environmental measure, medical treatment, poverty measures, and agricultural technology with a large amount of grants-in-aid and no interest yen loan every year.
    But they don't know these facts, because the government does not inform them.
  • It is said that only what the Communist Party recognizes is the historical truth like the Communist Party decides the judgments of the trials.
  • It is not permitted as a act to attack dignity of Mao Zedong that you tell the truth he caused the failure of the policy and many victims.
  • If you speak a thought unlike the government, you might become a criminal that you are a person of the anti-government and you are planning the national overturn.
  • In 2013, Professor Ken-ei Shu of the Toyo-Gakuen University was restricted for half a year by the Chinese authorities that he had spoke the thing that was inconvenient for China.
  • They said the casualties of the Japan-China War was 12 million, and they changed it to 35 million, but they do not tell the reason.
    They announced 20,000 people were killed at Nanjing Massacre at first. It changed to 42,000 and at last to 300,000. But they don't show the grounds that whether the Massacre of 300,000 were possible and how they treated the enormous quantity of corpses.
  • The Chinese textbooks spread propaganda of the Communist Party than the historic facts.
  • They do not tell the thing that is inconvenient for the government including the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen Square incident. About the Tiananmen Square incident, they say "minimal numerical hostile criminals caused a disturbance using the dissatisfaction of the people for the corruption of the government official."

  My Opinion
  • There is many forgeries or imitations, and they try to escape from the investigation by using the similar names.
  • It is very difficult for Japanese to win a suit in China.
  • Korea does not have the independence of the judicial power and the trials seem to be changed by Korean public opinion, and China does not have the separation of three powers and the trials are decided by the administrative order.
