U.S. can't solve everything for japan

 
U.S. and japan have relation of alliance. How could japan-war criminal be an economic power? Because japan's been under the protection of U.S, so japan make a fuss about it's trivial all comments and still depends on it completely. We could know that recent it's support for japan's right of collective self-defense made japan think they are a military power. But japan is wrong. They were defeated not by atomic bombs but by all of world countries' strong will to protect peace.

Japan's ridiculous recommendation to make the shipyard an world heritage

 
According to japanese major press, Japanese government made a decision to recommend Mitsubishi shipyard in Nagasaki as an world heritage officially. In pacific war, korean workers conscripted forcefully went into building warships in there and a half of them were killed by the atom bomb. it is ridiculous that the place with neighboring countries' resentment can be an world heritage, and also that is not suit for universal values and the world heritage's purpose. Japan's this action is inhumane and a kind of history distortions.

Murayama is mad at Abe

Murayama doichi, former japan's prime minister inserted contribution on People's daily that Abe cabinet is trying to amend Murayama statement and the wave of the rightwing trend in Japanese society is increasing.he criticized both. Murayama is a person to declare 'Murayama statement' on 50th anniversary of the end of second world war(1995.8.15). the statement contains that japan acknowledges and apologizes for its past. If abe succeeded to it, the international society could be much friendly to Japan and could have liquidated the vestiges of japanese imperialism like germany. Abe claiming to right wing extremism, didn't acknowledge and apologize for past affairs, And what's worse is that he is trying to revise pacific constitution that makes japan as war criminal not to have army. It was a japan's promise with the world. Now japan is going to break it.

Syria's government forces massacred civilians

Syria's government forces massacred civilians with chemical weapons. This's been a terrible tragedy since Hussein killed about 5000 peoples in kurd village with same way. North korea has a chemical weapon too. It can't be forgiven for either iraq or Nkorea to use chemical weapons. Using chemical wepons is out of the international humanitarian law

5 Nobel laureates slam Hashimoto over comfort women remarks


Five female Nobel Peace Prize laureates issued a statement in Northern Ireland on Thursday slamming Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto over his remarks on Japan's wartime system of military brothels. The five winners, who gathered at a three-day conference of the Nobel Women's Initiative in Belfast on the impact of war on women, said they "condemn in the strongest possible terms the recent deplorable remarks" by Hashimoto.

The statement was issued by U.S. anti-land mine campaigner Jody Williams, Iranian human rights activist Shirin Ebadi and Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee as well as Mairead Maguire, who worked to end violence in Northern Ireland, and Rigoberta Menchu Tum, who promotes the rights of indigenous people in Guatemala. The laureates, who received their peace prizes between 1976 and 2011, said in the statement, “Sexual slavery in wartime is a form of gender violence and is today defined as war crime.”

The crimes committed against the 'comfort women' continue to cause terrible pain for individuals and their families, and contribute to the continued tensions, enmity and mistrust in East Asia today.

Greedy Japan


In 1884, Japan arbitrarily included Daoyu islands into their territory. In 1904, they did the same thing with Dokdo. At the moment, Japan invaded neighboring countries and walked a path of imperialism by expanding their territory. Their inclusion of Daoyu islands and Dokdo is therefore, illegal. Daoyu islands are shown as part of Fujian province in a Chinese map dating back to 1865. In the case of Dokdo, not only ancient Korean maps, but also in Japanese literature recorded Dokdo as Korean territory. Even though there is objective evidence and records, Japan remains firm of their scheme to usurp territory. As a war criminal nation that took part in World War II, Japan refuses to repent, but instead tries to reenact their shameful past of imperialism. If Japan continues their efforts to be ignorant, the international community must raise the danger level on Japan's rash actions.

Salt Shortage in North Korea


Salt is essential for the survival of human and animal life. Men have used salt as food preservatives, for cooking, and at funeral offerings. Salt is essential for all living creatures in small quantities. Salt regulates the water content of the body, and is used for electrical signaling in the nervous system. Because of its importance to survival, salt has often been considered a valuable commodity during human history. However, as salt consumption has increased, many modern nations have consumed too much salt leading to health risks, such as high blood pressures. There is, however, an exception to this. North Korea is suffering from salt shortages. Due to typhoon damages, North Korea's salt production has dropped, leaving many North Koreans, including even the soldiers, in dire need of salt. A year ago, I heard that North Korean soldiers ate salt as snack because they had nothing other to eat. Now, they don't even have salt to eat. When soldiers were unable to get access to salt in military, they are leaving their posts and returning to their home to find salt. North Korea is suffering not only from food shortages, but also from salt shortages. I wonder how they will fight if a war breaks out.

Korean students create 'Dokdo Style' to sweep off Japan's territorial ambitions


'Dokdo Style' UCC, a parody of Korea wave star, Psy's 'Gangnam Style' is gaining internet sensation. The video clip created by highschool students to promote 'Love Dokdo, our territory week' event held by one of Korea's regional office of education. The video clip shows Korea's will to protect Dokdo from Japan's territorial ambitions, and is becoming a sensation online.

Have you used Korea's Galaxy Note?


I am currently using both Apple and Samsung products because the products of the two rival companies are different in quality and price. But some end-users prefer product from one company over the other. I saw on the news a couple days ago that American Airlines designated Samsung's Galaxy Note as the phablet for flight attendants. Choosing Galaxy Note over the iPad is an unprecedented event. Merely few weeks ago, Samsung has lost a suit against Apple, but American Airlines move to deploy the Galaxy Note as its official work phablet is meaningful. Quality, price, and service transcends borders making Korean products as competitive as domestic products. I look forward to the products produced between the two rivaling companies.

K-Pop Cover Dance Festival


The 2012 K-pop Cover Dance Festival will travel around various countries and cities to begin their round 2 auditions to choose to finalists starting Sept 22. More than 1800 video applications were received from more than 70 countries. From this we can see that K-pop's popularity around the globe is increasing. Recently, I have seen a documentary about K-pop, where youths around the globe are mesmerized with K-pop dances and songs, and people taking interest in Korean food. K-pop is inducing people from different cultures and backgrounds to not only learn about Korea's culture as well, but also to share their culture with others.

Do you know the definition of Gangnam Style?


Times chose Gangnam Style as the Wednesday word and provided the definition of the word. Gangnam Style is a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul's Gangnam district, a word increasingly popular since South Korea rapper Psy released the music video, Gangnams Style. Recently, Gangnam Style reached 1.5 billion views, and ranked 1st on iTunes Charts. Psy's cheekiness mesmerized the world. If I ever get a chance to go to Korea, I would like to visit Gangnam.

Commemorating General MacArthur's Inchon Landing...


On the 15th, in commemoration of the anniversary of the Inchon Landing, the Korean military re-enacted the battle. The re-enactment off the shore of Inchon featured an array of South Korean land, sea, and air equipment. The re-enactment gave me an idea how fierce the battle was.
The Inchon Landing, led by General Douglas MacArthur, cut off North Korean forces from their supply lines, which had extended deep into the southern part of the Korean peninsula. Soon after, allied forces liberated Seoul and pushed the North Korean forces back, and marked a turning point in the Korea war. The war vets of Korea, US, and UN all expressed gratitude for the re-enactment ceremony.
I believe that the Korean war was the stepping stone and the beginning of the good relationship between Korea and our country. I hope this relationship continues.

President Lee Myung-bak have forged a partnership deal with of rare earth materials-rich country, Greenland. The two countries signed a deal that will aid the exploitation of rare earths as well as other strategic metals. They have signed a ground for developing cooperation of one of the future's most essential resources, rare earth materials.
many people do not know about the value of rare earth materials, but rare earth materials are very crucial for economic development. For example, when there are military and diplomatic conflicts between China and Japan, China always uses an earth material export ban card to have an advantage over Japan. Rare earth elements are necessary resources used in LCD, LED Smartphones, and is a resource that is needed in producing environmentally friendly products, such as hybrid automobiles. In other words, if a country does not have access to rare earth materials, the country will not be able to advance economically and technologically in the future.
Therefore, Korea built the first stepping stone in creating a base for rare earth material supply. If both countries, Greenland and Korea, cooperate and trade efficiently, I believe both can benefit from this deal. I hope this is a deal that will bring economic stability to both countries.
