Posted in: Kishida says coronavirus, economy, security top his agenda See in context

I think it is ridiculous to have a vaccine passport when the effectiveness of the vaccine decreases drastically after six months, but this is something that Western countries are more actively considering than Japan.

Nevertheless, I think it is necessary to continue to increase the number of people vaccinated with regard to vaccines, so I would like to keep an eye on the situation. However, this is not a problem that can be solved by increasing the number of tests, so rather than investing in this, I think it would be better to focus on the development of therapeutic drugs, as Takaichi argued.

If opposition party became ruling party, it would be a big difference.

Have you read the Rikken DPJ's manifesto? Not only are those policies unfeasible, but only the top 10% of the wealthy and corporations will be taxed two or three times as much, and the Japanese economy will plummet to the bottom. This is the kind of stupid policy that experts laugh at. That's why the opposition party's approval rating is only in single digits.

The only response that is currently in place and is considered effective is the strengthening of economic sanctions. However, South Korea has been uncooperative in this regard, and is leaving its own victims to die. Currently, due to the global recession caused by Corona, North Korea is running out of foreign currency and is reportedly issuing temporary foreign currency exchange bills. The Japanese government needs to continue to gather information on North Korea and take appropriate measures to create a situation where North Korea is willing to negotiate.

Japan has been and continues to be making efforts.

The only way to help them is to force North Korea into an isolated situation and make them give up.

However, there is an incredibly heartless country next door. It is South Korea. The number of South Koreans who have been kidnapped by North Korea is dozens of times that of Japan. (In the case of South Korea, there are said to be about 500 victims.)

I wonder if the commenters here are aware of this? Of course, I don't blame you if you don't know about this. Why? Because the Korean media, the Korean people, and the Korean government are completely ignoring this fact. It's not that the victims didn't do anything. According to the information I have confirmed, the victims are demonstrating in 2018.

Despite this situation, the South Korean government is trying to promote an appeasement policy solution without working with Japan and the West, and the South Korean media and the South Korean public continue to ignore the victims. Moreover, it continues to have a negative impact on Japan's resolution of the abduction issue.

She supports the imperial family’s male-only succession, and opposes same-sex marriage and a revision to the 19th-century civil law that could allow women to keep their maiden name.

You don't understand at all.

The issue in the imperial family is about the female line of succession, not whether the emperor is female or male. The female emperors that have existed in the past are also of the male lineage. The female emperor itself has nothing to do with the issue being discussed.

There are other unreasonable cases against Japanese oppression that Korea claims. This is the fact that many of the famous Korean companies today were founded during the Japanese occupation. This includes Lotte Corporation, Samsung, LG, and Amorepacific.

As for LG, it has a record of overcoming a crisis in operations by receiving a loan from a Japanese company.

The reason why they are powerful companies in Korea today is because they were able to accumulate wealth during the Japanese occupation.

"Spring of Korean Peninsula (1941) https://youtu.be/T0MiZnCvb7s "

This film was shot by a film company, film director, original story, script, and actors, all Korean.

The filmmaker's name is I Pyeong-Ir, and he was born in Korea in 1910.

After graduating from high school in Korea in 1927, he moved to Japan to learn English.

(Besides, Korean high schools at that time also had school trips like those seen in Japanese cartoons.)

While attending an English language school in Japan, he founded a record company with a Korean acquaintance in 1933. With that company, he produced the theme song for a movie called Shunpu, which was directed by another Korean, and also produced new singers.

After graduating from English school in 1935, he applied for an assistant director position at a film company called Shochiku, but was offered a position as an actor, which he turned down.

And in April of the same year, he joined a film company called Nikkatsu. He studied film direction under a Japanese man named Yutaka Abe.

In 1940, I founded a company called Myonbo Films with a Korean friend of mine. This company shot the first film I mentioned, "Spring on the Peninsula". The film won an award in Japan and was a box office success.

By the way, those who claim that Koreans were oppressed by Japan, can they rationally explain how he was able to do this under such oppression? I doubt it.

The Koreans are already known to have misused more than three irrelevant photos as evidence of the working conditions of Korean forced laborers in this case. Moreover, if we exclude those photos, there is not a single photo that shows the working environment at that time.

This means that the photos they are using as evidence of damage are 100% fake evidence.

They are all frauds, I must say.

Most of the things that Japan apologized to Korea for (conscripted soldiers/conscripted workers/comfort women) were actually done many years ago only to the Japanese.

In addition, about 90% of the testimonies of Koreans claiming to be victims of forced labor are false, and the remaining 10% are simple testimonies about their background.

・Why did so many Koreans try to smuggle themselves into Japan when the Korean War broke out?

・Why were there Koreans who started their own film companies and worked as film directors during the war?

・The Korean who testified that his father was a victim of forced labor said that both his father and mother were not given enough time to sleep and were not given proper food. At the same time, he testified that he was born there at the time, his siblings were attending school, and his family was living in the family room of the company housing. How can both of those things be true at the same time?

In addition, there are many pay slips that Korean workers received, and the fact that they received either appropriate salaries or more than Japanese workers has been proven.

It was the strong local civilian population that supported the Japanese military's rapid advance in China. In the areas of China where Japanese troops were stationed, civilians also raised the Japanese flag, and there are many records of improved security in the safe zones.

In that war with China, a truly large number of young Japanese were drafted into the army. On the other hand, young Koreans were never drafted, and some of them went on to make a living by directing films or starting their own companies.

In case you are wondering, the way of life of Koreans and Japanese at that time can be found, albeit indirectly, in films made by Korean directors between 1935 and 1945, as well as in Japanese films starring famous actors such as Ryu Chishu. Also, Korean film directors at that time were taught their techniques by Japanese film companies, and later established their own film companies while shooting films.

These films are more faithful to history than the propaganda films made by Koreans today, even if there is some beautification. At least, as a matter of historical fact, Koreans at that time could afford to establish a film company. Moreover, Japanese youths at the same time were being drafted into the army for the war against China. On the other hand, young Koreans were not drafted until 1944, and the war ended after only training, not in time for actual combat.

If you are interested in movies from that time, search for "Spring of Korean Peninsula". It is a film shot in 1941 by a Korean director.

In the first place, Korea's victim-blaming attitude toward Japan over World War II is quite laughable.

First of all, the annexation of Korea and Japan was accomplished through a treaty, even though Koreans today do not recognize it.

Despite the twists and turns of Japanese rule, Korean children went to school, went on school excursions that are still going on in Japan today, represented Korea in high school baseball games, and went on to study at universities established on the Korean peninsula or on the Japanese mainland.

Interestingly, all of those who claimed that their father was a victim of conscription testified that they and their siblings were attending Japanese schools at that time.

Imagine, a strange testimony that their parents were treated badly, but they themselves attended school and classes. Moreover, without exception, they lived in the family room of the company housing.

When the Suga administration was in power, last summer, there was actually a budget set aside for the expansion of hospital beds. An organization called the Japan Medical Association did not use the budget at all and did not make any effort to expand the number of hospital beds. However, in June, as the Olympics began to draw near, the Japan Medical Association began to criticize the Japanese government, claiming that "a single-minded focus on vaccines will cause the collapse of medical care," even though they had not made any effort at all. The Japan Medical Association was also opposed to expanding the number of people who could receive vaccine shots. The Japanese government also subsidized hospitals that treated coronas, but there were hospitals that received subsidies but did not accept coronas patients. However, there were some hospitals that received subsidies but did not accept coronary patients. The Japanese government decided to punish those hospitals by announcing their names, but the Japan Medical Association opposed this as well. In the end, I believe that the Japan Medical Association was the organization that had the biggest problem with Corona.

I don't think Kishida is capable of dealing with the situation in this way. Rather, I feel that he is a politician who is soft on the Japan Medical Association and other vested interest groups.

Then why are his approval ratings so low?

I believe that the results of approval rating questionnaires do not necessarily coincide with the evaluation of the administration.

In fact, the results of individual detailed questionnaires, such as the one on the government's response to Corona, are not that serious.

In the case of the administration's evaluation, I believe that the overall evaluation, which is a compilation of detailed questionnaires, is closer.

I believe that the question of whether one supports the administration tends to be more myopic than the question of how one evaluates the administration.

It's just that the leftists and the media are giving him a bad rap, but most Japanese people appreciate the fact that Mr. Suga served as prime minister during a difficult time. The Suga administration has lowered cell phone rates, secured enough vaccines, and held the Olympics.

Personally, I think Suga did a good job. He was not at fault, and the Olympics went off without a hitch. Corona is not something the government can control, so I don't blame him, and I appreciate the fact that he is making sure there is enough vaccine available.

I do not welcome Kishida's accommodating attitude toward China and South Korea. Ishiba is out of the question. My personal preference would be for Kono to become prime minister.

Since the Fukushima disaster, Japan has set a standard for radioactive materials in food that is 10 times stricter than the world standard.

South Korea, on the other hand, has been pouring more cups of radioactive water into its rivers than Japan, complaining about Japan, and leaving its own standards for radioactive materials in its food unchecked. Of course, their standards are less stringent than Japan's.

In the first place, Korea is not strict about radiation, but when it comes to Japan, they suddenly raise their voice!

As I have said many times, the radiation detectors used by the Koreans are inexpensive and only measure the amount of radiation in the air.

Those measurements are completely meaningless. Even if they are meaningful, it is just a performance to show that they are measuring.

In order to detect radioactive materials in food, it is necessary to collect samples.

As I have said many times before, the equipment used by South Korea cannot measure the amount of radiation in food. It is completely meaningless. It is nothing more than a political performance.

Koreans think that Korea is handling the situation perfectly. That's what the Korean media is reporting.

They believe that they are eating one type of lunch box that is almost the same for every meal.

If they were handing out a wide variety of lunch boxes, Koreans would be trying to show off the variety. However, no such images have emerged. In other words, they are only handing out that one type of lunch.

It is impossible for them to keep eating such food every day, but Koreans believe everything they hear from the media.

This is a confirmed political harassment by South Korea.

If they really think they are in danger, why are they given two lunches a day? Why don't they give them three meals a day? If they really think it's dangerous, why don't they announce that the daily tests show dangerous results?

As for that lunch box, I've only seen a picture of the top right side dish that has been slightly replaced. Do you think you can spend days on end eating those same old lunch boxes for three meals a day? More to the point, the Korean committee members actually only gave the athletes two meals a day. Everything is half-baked because the goal is to harass them from the beginning.

Damage claims by Koreans regarding Gunkanjima are 200% false.

The structure of the buildings in the living quarters is a complete apartment complex with balconies and windows, and is not designed to house prisoners. The number of people who can live there in that condition is about 3,000. There are also no structures like underground camps on the island.

His job at the time was to make these goals a reality. There was nothing wrong with that.

The number of infected people in Japan remains extremely low compared to Europe and the United States, and the number of vaccinations has been steadily increasing. At least, the actual situation is not pessimistic.
