Someone didn't get all the replies it seems...

No, please do explain.

Are you seriously saying they cannot protest non-violently in Japan?

Um, maybe you didn't notice the people in CHINA did nothing destructive in KYOTO either, or TOKYO, or any other part of Japan for that matter. I guess you just like to use Chinese protests as an example when it suits you, then say riots outside of the city in which this picture takes place is unrelated if it's Japan. Sorry, my friend, tmarie nailed you on that one.

And this non-violent protest in Japan is wrong because...?

No, there's nothing to "get" here. You're comparing a racist-but-peaceful demo to a riot.

And which government is doing almost nothing to stop the out-of-control Chinese protests again?

And who is exactly blaming the non-rioting Chinese again?

So what was your issue with my post?

Um, maybe you didn't notice these people in TOKYO did nothing destructive in KYOTO?

I'm not defending it. Thank god no one was around to get hurt. Can't say the same for the protest in China tho.

Guess you missed the news about that this morning. So let me get this straight, fire at a Chinese school is okay because no one was around to get hurt but rioting in China when there are no Japanese is bad? Right....

Actually, a Japanese couple were assaulted in Hong Kong today. Guess you missed that news huh?

Nah, they were just lighting fires and throwing rocks at a Chinese school in Kobe. Yes, attacking the place of children is so much better than embassies...

No one through a rock at the Chinese school in Kobe so quit making stuff up. The fire is true but no one was around to get hurt and it was a metal gate.

Too little too late.

Can't take these guys seriously.

japanese dont think like that. if one chinese, taiwanese, one korean does something bad, they judge the whole race. They have very simple minds.

Meanwhile in China...

but before you look at the sty in your neighbor's eye, look at the sty in your own eyes first.

A great lesson for China.

No kidding, but it's the nationalization of the islands that tipped this event over.

Right...

Yes and of course Japan is completely innocent.

In this case, they are. Or at least nothing as extreme as what China is doing at the moment.

How many Japanese have been attacked in the streets?

I think so far 0. But if they are willing to kill one of their own just because he was on a Japanese car, it's not difficult to see what will happen to Japanese citizens in China.

Seems like Audi in China completely supports genocide.

Wow. the mods are out in full force getting rid of anything that isn't pro Japan. That speaks volumes.

You mean all the death threats and ill wishes to all the pro Japan are deleted? And this is bad how?

*Shukan Kinyobi (Sept 14) reports that on Aug 25, a large demonstration of rightists— I don't get it. Why is it being reported almost a month later and a day after anti-japanese protest?

Good question.

That's why I said "if".

If japans wins no doubt Korea will go out on a war.

Huh, I honestly didn't know Wacom was a japanese company. You learn something new everyday.

@ kwatt

Let's be honest here. NOTHING will EVER be enough for the South Koreans.

When Japan paid reparations to South Korea in 1965, did they also issue an apology?

Yes, they did.

June 22, 1965. Minister of Foreign Affairs Shiina Etsusaburo. "In our two countries' long history there have been unfortunate times, it is truly regrettable and we are deeply remorseful" (Signing of the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea).

The Japanese government did not want the facts disclosed

Japanese officials had reportedly not been in favor of the South Korean government disclosing the documents because they were concerned about repercussions the disclosure of such diplomatic documents would have on bilateral normalizations talks with North Korea, who reportedly wants more than $10 billion as compensation for its share.

Keep it classy Sir_Edgar. Keep it classy...

That is a private fund. If the Japanese government feels responsibility, then why a private fund?

Because they already did back in 1965.

The 1965 reparations do not account for the comfort women because they are not even recognized as having existed by the Japanese government.

Yes, they do.

Those are fine & dandy, but sincere & REAL THEY AINT. For every example above there are MANY more where J-politicians, PMs idiots who run Tokyo that DENY they things that Japan supposedly apologized for........

But they had no problem accepting their money am I right?

was under the impression that the Emperor had already apologized twice to South Korea. But people these days have short memories.

According to the Koreans this never happened tho.
