S Korean president says Abe's WWII speech fell short

"Even as she spoke, a pair of Japanese cabinet ministers visited the controversial Yasukuni shrine"

The LDP just don't get it...

I hope that LDP shall no longer existence in the 80th anniversary of WW2.

“History can never be covered up,” agreed, so let's talk about the war crimes committed by her father in Vietnam first, shall we?

President Park Geun- Hye needs to first apologize to the Comfort Women for her father, an officer in the IJA in the Kwantung Army no less, during WWII, having used the "Comfort Stations" before she talks about Japan.

Since 50th anniversary, some people wish and LDP supports has gone up up and so people keep mouth shut this year to stop LGP growth. Omen?

"History must never be covered up. Except for the Jeju Massacres, that's totally different."

Meanwhile in the People's Liberation Army"s secrete underground lair....

If anyone is really interested in what Abe actually said, here is the part of his speech. Does anyone see a problem with his speech?

In the late 19th century, Western nations began the trend of imperialism, in which they invaded and subjugated the rest of the world based on the idea of white race's superiority. To defend itself against these forces, Japan modernized quickly and formed the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, made up of neighboring Asian nations in the spirit of racial solidarity. Other empires attempt to suppress the rise of the Japanese empire by choking Japan off of the vital natural resources that it required. Japan tried to break the deadlock by attacking Pearl Harbor, which led to World War II. In the end, Japan was defeated.

Someone has written up an analysis of the Abe's history revisionism speech. Pay attention to the blue portions which are Abe's speech, and the red portions which are the analysis of the speech.

Papi, that wasn't part of Abe's speech at all. Your sources are fake.

Alex80; Abe's speech was toward Japanese, not to any KanKokuJin.

Every time someone introduce phony story on Abe his populatity goes up.

Absolutely, and now Mrs Abe has visited Yasukuni. She knows full well what it represents, and didn't even wait a respectful amount of time after the anniversary / speech, before going. So yes, Japan-South Korea relations won't improve

"Even as she spoke, a pair of Japanese cabinet ministers visited the controversial Yasukuni shrine"

Kenny, forget the ministers....the friggin first lady went, visited, and just to make sure everyone knew she did, posted details of her visit on social media.

you're right. The LDP politicians make George W. Bush look like JFK.
