Ha ha...this Hiromi is looking more and more funny, is it a coincidence that the company intended to debut her this way, I mean amid all the injustice being reported these days.

There are good reasons why the PM is acting tough on this issue. I've just been to China and I can confirm that the anti-Japanese feelings are still very strong among the general public. Their current relationship is still very much based on economic factors. The government of the two…
