Posted in: Japan activates first marines since WW2 to bolster defenses See in context
about time it bolstered its defenses in light of the missiles launched in its direction and aggressive posturing by other nations over Japanese islands.
Quite a reversal from 70 years ago when Japan was the aggressor of other nations in Asia. The past has come back to haunt her.

Won't happen because Israel is a 'democracy.'

Out of curiosity, does anyone think that San Fransisco would consent to a statute commemorating the Tiananmen square protests and later massacres in Beijing, if China objected? My guess is that it wouldn't.
There is a statue in the heart of SF Chinatown that commemorates June 4

1glenn: A similar controversy followed a Cuban baseball player who squinted his eyes mocking a Japanese team member. The offender was forced to apologize for racist behavior. If you don't get the squinting thing as an insult, you probably don't believe racism exists.

No one, except you, said anything about 'Chinese claiming everything was invented in China.' My response was to counterclaim the quote by the Ajiinomoto frozen food spokesman "... it’s actually difficult to find fried dumplings in China. Steamed or boiled dumplings are their mainstream."

Fried dumplings in China are called "guotie" and have been found there long before Japan claimed it as their dish.
