Posted in: China 'highly vigilant' over Japanese fighters flying over disputed islands See in context

China has, historically, used trade and technology to great effect in their efforts to gain power and influence on the world stage. The Chinese view things differently to the western paradigm.Aggression takes many forms.Compared to the hundreds of invasions and "police actions" perpetrated by the US since '45,China is quite the international gentleman.

Seven y/o Japanese girl likely weighed less than about 30 kgs, a truck driver gearing down for a turn,esp. in a high cab truck could reasonably not realise the impact. Hopefully the truth will out.

Posted in: Foreign firms largely excluded in Fukushima clean-up See in context

When the last clean land in Japan is poisoned, the last fish taken, then you can bet Japan will expect other countries to allow them land. Im afraid the world will have seen the lies and self deceit that destroyed a once proud culture. No one is gonna help if you wont help yourselves.

Posted in: Abe says Japan has difficult road ahead See in context

What a sad joke Japanese politics is. So we can expect more of the gutless, shortsighted stupidity that got Japan where it is today. TEPCO will be SO happy, their old friends are back. The Yakuza will be happy, more money and power for them. The right wing nutjobs can now enjoy fantasies of a militatistic Japan humbling China.( as if). My tax is wasted again, the Japanese public will be cheated again. AH well, shoganai ne.

Yep. Japanese safety standards. Like the "missing steel" scandal 5 or so years ago, where the Govt. refused to identify which high rise domestic mansions were built without the required steel, rendering them potentially lethal , and the only person who went to jail was the whistleblower. Fujikyu highlands beheading?No safety checks on a ROLLERCOASTER? Please,don't put your head in the sand and call it patriotism.

If he runs the country like he ran Tokyo his fingerless friends will clean out the national coffers, not just a bank or two

Posted in: Gaijin -- just a word or racial epithet with sinister implications? See in context

oh burst into tears poor gaijin! Jeez, aren't we all adults? SO WHAT if someone is rude to you, get over it. Political correctness is a ridiculous attempt at censorship. Anyone should be able to say anything they want, as long as they accept the consequences. Personal responsibility , not whining.
